December was busy. Plenty going on, plenty to listen to, plenty of plenty. I didn’t capture much to mixtape this month, and it didn’t help that a good portion of the stuff I collected have no documentation other than rarer recordings or the are just too unestablished to have a music video or performance. I… Continue reading Mixtape: Too Much December

Mixtape: September is Splitting
Broken Social Scene – “Superconnected” A band I will have to put on my unwritten “bands I want to see live” list. I had the unfortune (very different from misfortune) of being too busy to see My Morning Jacket and Vampire Weekend perform in my town in the month of September. My Morning Jacket’s new… Continue reading Mixtape: September is Splitting
Thin Lizzy Meets Sex Pistols for Christmas Season
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… Continue reading Thin Lizzy Meets Sex Pistols for Christmas Season

The Wonder Years: Wonder When
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… Continue reading The Wonder Years: Wonder When
The Most Memorable Voices
In no particular order, some of the best voices I’ve heard are… Tony Clifton The amazing character devised by the genius Andy Kaufman.

SingingFish redirects to AOL? Yes and No.
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.

Granted it’s used and it has no case to cut down on shipping, I still enjoy the fact that I got… Continue reading A Truly Free CD
Exploding Water Balloon in Space
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… Continue reading Exploding Water Balloon in Space

When it comes to traditional dancing, I have no experience. I have three left feet. But I have tried a few… Continue reading Interactive Breakdance Lessons
