Tapes ‘n Tapes | Freak Out

Comments 11 | March | 2011

Cheers to New Years. It doesn’t have to be December 31^st (slash) January 1^st to reminisce about the good times you’ve had at the turn of each New Year. More specifically, this video highlights the fact that it’s never too soon to recall NYE shenanigans that should have been forgotten long ago. Continue Reading

Breast Milk Ice Cream Arrives | Get Pumped!

Comments 08 | March | 2011

Known throughout the world for their excellent cuisine…*barf*…the British have set their sights on expanding the confectionery palette. More specifically, they are targeting the relatively narrow range of ice cream choices currently available. I say this jokingly, as it seems every time I arrive at the frozen food section of the grocery store there are no less than 17 new flavors available in diet-friendly quantities ranging from 1 tsp. thimbles to – “Forget the diet, I quit” ½ gallons.

Near Death Experience | 2nd Chances

Comments 04 | March | 2011

Death from Above 1979 is one of the bands that rank near the top of my “Missed Opportunities” list. Having read this tragic blog entry back in 2006, I really felt that I had let a chance to see something awesome go by the wayside. Thus, imagine my delight when I saw that they are damn-near headlining Coachella! Ok, “headlining” may be an overstatement, but check out the font size! (Sunday) Continue Reading

Danger Mouse + Jack White | When In Rome

Comments 22 | February | 2011

The saying goes, “when one door closes, another opens.” In the case of Jack White, a GIANT door recently closed when he confirmed that The White Stripes are calling it quits. So, by the “Conservation of Door” principle stated above (aka, Newton’s 4^th Law), Jack should be introducing a few new projects, right?

Sure enough, he continues to dabble in just about every sector of the music industry, and most recently his talents have collided with super-producer Brian Burton (aka, Danger Mouse). Continue Reading

Grammys Go Over Easy | Not Eggxactly

Comments 17 | February | 2011

Once again the Grammys has come and gone, placing its gold star of excellence on a select few artists, duos, groups, casts of TV shows, or shemale solo artists performing a live cover of a remix composed by a recipient of the lifetime achievement award in the category of best jazz ensemble west of the Nile.

As usual, the telecast was a lengthy ordeal, not including the two hours of red carpet coverage leading up to the actual awards ceremony. Unsurprisingly, in the roughly six hours of coverage, cameras captured some classic D-List material from A-list celebrities, starting at… Continue Reading

@Work | Outlook Not So Good

Comments 15 | February | 2011

I’ve been in the workforce long enough to have seen some seriously wacky emails drop into my inbox. Whether they are in the name of actual work or a 110% waste of company time doesn’t really matter, they all end in me squinting at the screen while scratching my head, pondering the impetus for such retardedism*.

Sleigh Bells | Reign Of Terror

Added on 21 February 2012

Video Playlist

In 2010, Brooklyn-based duo Sleigh Bells unleashed their debut LP Treats. While they missed a brilliant opportunity for cross-promotion with any number of ear plug manufacturers, the resulting fanfare was as loud as their music. Fortunately for my ear drums, they waited 20 months before returning to market with their latest product. Reign of Terror, […]
