are now useless!! I found FlareSOUND yesterday in iTunes and am in love. They stole my whole music library and put it up on their jazzybeats channel. They threw in stuff I’ve never heard before and then proceeded to beat me silly with it. Great downtempo chillout coding music for the musically adventurous. And yes, […]
If you’re thinking about going to Maggiano’s, don’t, unless you like being crammed into a postage stamp-sized table two feet away from people crammed around other postage stamp-sized tables. You’re more likely to hear the four tables around you than the person sitting right next to you. The food was good, but the service was […]
As you’ve probably noticed, I resist what’s popular until I just can’t take it anymore and then embrace it as soon as everyone else has found it and proclaimed it to be the Best Thing In The Whole Wide World™. Well, here I go again. Heather got Coldplay’s Parachutes for Christmas and wow, it’s just […]
Jen was sick this weekend so I ran to the local video store and grabbed some sick-movies. Here’s the recap: Eight Legged Freaks: A small town in Arizona, dumbass, cute cop, colorful local characters… big scary monsters killing the population? Oh yeah, this is Tremors with more eyes and legs. The spiders were pretty cool […]
“it’s like the bastard offspring of Enya and Radiohead” – See, I post something and the world goes crazy. Now, I can’t go five minutes without seeing something else about Sigur Ros.
As an addendum, Amazon is offering a free download of a couple of Sigur Ros’ songs off of Agaetis Byrjun. The title track is one of them, and it is gorgeous. They played it last night and it almost brought me to tears. They overdid the end of the song, but the first ten minutes […]
The story is more in the getting there and home than in the concert itself, but I’ll tell you about the concert first, since the trip took longer than the music lasted. The four of us, Jen, Heather, and Steve made the trek downtown for the show. For the uninitiated, Sigur Ros is an Icelandic […]
I’m sitting here watching Bittersweet Motel waiting for Sunday Night Football to come on, and my headache to leave. It’s the Phish concert movie. It has some really funny interviews with the band and live and (odd) other versions of the songs from my favorite album: Billy Breathes. It’s an interesting portrait of the band. […]
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but I actually got out this weekend (with the sniper on the loose, that’s a feat). Here’s the roundup, in chronological order: The Transporter: So, they gave Turkish from Snatch a chance at his own action movie. Jason Statham is perfect for the action hero […]
We watched two new cop shows this weekend, Robbery Homicide Division and Boomtown. First, Robbery Homicide Division was ok. It’s better than CSi, but far worse than any of the Law & Order series or NYPD Blue. The weird part is it’s hard to nail down what’s wrong with it. LA is ripe for a […]
