Hurts so good…

What better way to celebrate the destruction of our planet, than to see Caribou on Thursday night? Paul was kind enough to hook me up with a ticket. When we got to the venue, the opening band, Fuck Buttons, were still fucking buttons. The show was piped into the speakers downstairs, so we could hear [...]

Get Off the Soapbox and Get Your Fuckin’ Shinebox…

Are my views on the environment important? I don’t know. I do believe we aren’t spending enough money in this country to combat this problem. And what are we spending money on? The War on Terror, The War on Drugs, The War in Iraq, etc. The first thing we can [...]

I’m worried about corn….

Yesterday, I spent the morning at a conference called, The State Of The Planet. I soaked up a lot of fascinating and disturbing information. I’d like to share a bit of it with you. Sorry if this sounds preachy, I hate preachy people and that’s usually not my style but here we go…
Agricultural growth will [...]

Someone in this room is stealing my ideas…

Frankly, I don’t mind being known as a person that started something. I’m sure someone did it before me. But, I don’t know that person. What I do know is this… I have no idea who is actually reading this stuff. So, to the people reading this… start your own stuff. [...]

Why we bite…

Hey Oliver, why you gotta bite my sentence fragment style? Don’t you. Know that. I invented that shit? I guess it’s only fair, considering you are the inventor of music sharing. Someone asked me why we started this blog. I can only speak for myself, but here’s my answer – because I like music. A [...]

If you forget…

Then, perhaps you should just dance. Instead of watching baseball.

Baseball starts at 3 in the morning…

As much as I love the Red Sox. Having a game at 3 in the morning is difficult. I know that it is because the game is being played in Japan. So, I will go home. Go to sleep. And wake up in time for the game.

Morning stretch

New Buffalo- It’s True
Check out Kristie McCracken’s live dance performance to this song (video directed by Paul McNeil). It reminds me of stretching in the morning. And also of doing The Worm (or, what I think it would be like to do The Worm. I’ve never actually tried).

Even if you think it’s right…

I spent the day at an interesting place. Should I really give my all? Should I really tell you? Am I speaking to yooooooouuuuu? Nah. I am just talking to myself.
Screw you.

I have inside info. I ain’t telling you.

Sometimes the things you learn are no longer needed…

I came across a website the other week that had lists of obsolete skills. It made me think. How many skills did I learn and perfect only to not need them later on in life?
1. Nintendo Cartridge Cleaning (although, there is a rare occasion this still comes in handy…) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3aJqJUN1Xw (Thanks, Matt W., [...]

IT Guys

I went to see Phosphorescent and The Bowerbirds at Union Hall a few weeks back. I was more impressed by the opening-opening band, The Acorn, than by the two groups I had gone to see. But that’s not what I’ve come here to tell you about. What I’m here to tell you about is Viking [...]
