Round two of the monthly mixtape. I’m still behind and that is alright because I am spreading these out.

“Break My Body/Hold My Bones.” Those few words get trapped into my earbanks. This song is about as gritty as it gets this month. Here’s a live version.

I have SXSW to thank for this song being available [...]

I never would have thought of such a link, but it exists! The Greedies, as they were called, had a Merry Christmas in 1979 and it featured drums and guitar from Sex Pistols members and all of Thin Lizzy. It’s a rocking little number anticipating the New Year nice and early.

Now we all know what [...]

Yes, I just invented a word, unawarer: n. a person who is unaware or not familiar.
And this here is a guide, not a tour guide, but a textual guide to spread the thought-provoking butter that is Paul Westerberg and the musical bread that was The Replacements. If you have glanced over my site you’d find [...]

Time is hard to find. Worthwhile knowledge is tangled in time. So what are my plans for you loyal readers? I’m working on the most valuable list that will end all lists. It will be ready in a while. I want to make sure it’s easy and accurate. The topic: music. And don’t worry– it [...]

I wonder when the seasons on DVDs will come out. They are having trouble with music rights/royalties/permissions, so it may be never. Amazon UK edition advertises release dates, but has fallen back every single time. Lucky for me (and many others), the ION TV channel that is carried by DirecTV Satellite (and probably other Cable [...]

In no particular order, some of the best voices I’ve heard are…
Tony Clifton
The amazing character devised by the genius Andy Kaufman. He’s a Las Vegas lounge singer whose hobby is being a rude and arrogant bad guy. If you’ve never heard what he sounds like, take an ear to him singing the Star-Spangled Banner.
Bill Cosby
Who [...]

There is little buzz going on about singingfish.com redirecting to AOL Search. If you are unfamiliar with singingfish, it is a multimedia search engine launched in 2000 that has one of the best databases of many mp3s and other audio and video formats. The only info I found about the domain redirection was that AOL [...]

I hate ripoffs and scams. When a real freebie comes along I am pleased. And I’d like to share a place that gives away 1 Compact Disc (or DVD) of your choice, including shipping. Granted it’s used and it has no case to cut down on shipping, I still enjoy the fact that I [...]

Have a look at some videos of a water balloon exploding in space and other fluid experiments. The low gravity makes it suspend in an unearthly manner. That could come in handy if you happen to spill a drink- you’ll wont get you clothes dirty because you can move away from it. That’s why astronauts [...]

I have always wished I had the skills to dance like b-boys. Breakdancing is the only dancing that I actually would be interested to learn. I like the innovative moves and the strength required. When it comes to traditional dancing, I have no experience. I have three left feet. But I have tried a few [...]
