I have a box that does a special thing when you talk to it.
It’s powered by magic.

MTV is still trying.
Saturday, November 8th, 2008After years of destroying its own reputation as a television station that shows music videos, MTV is trying to redeem itself in part by putting on the internet what it should not have ever removed from its television station. The video archive seems to be succeeding.
How far we’ve fallen. What was lost in MTV’s destruction will never be completely explained or retrieved. It’s sad, but at least we now have these things to take us back to those innocent times. It is still pathetic, however, that a Britney Spears video is the most viewed on this site. Have some fucking decency, people.
Now, if it were only possible to resurrect the golden age of animation…
fiction is lying songs hour: Episode 00I
Monday, October 6th, 2008I have a continuation of the old show now. It’s called the fiction is lying Liecast Music Hour, and it’s coming to you in v0 quality thanks to the lame internet. Put it on your mp3 player because you can because it’s the future.
…in which is discussed what I’ve been doing since the last show, and focusing on what I’ve been listening to since the last show Also I talk about making videos; that seems a little recursive or regressive or something.
Slight format change warning: this show is more songs than the old show, but I definitely talk my face off as well. It is a damn music hour with me by the fireplace. And that one song is not really from anytime near when I was sick; I was just listening to it around then (obvious).
We don’t have a fireplace anymore. We have slugs, but haha no sales tax so fuck you slugs I have 7% more money now!
I have tagged or categorized it (I don’t even know how this shit works at this point) according to content.
Songs, worry, sleep.
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008I have been writing a little at last.fm, but that’s about it lately.
Oh and watching newsvideo shit’s been pretty slownewsday’d lately. Where be the action?
Songs, work, sleep.
Monday, May 19th, 2008I have been writing a little at last.fm, but that’s about it lately.
Oh and watching newsvideo shit’s been getting warmed up.
I’ve been tagging again.
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008Get to know my one-word descriptions for songs and bands! I’ve been tagging hell of shit as I listen to it lately so there’s a complete digital paper trail of breadcrumb-shaped tags describing the horrible crap I’ve been subjecting myself to lately.
It’s great. It’s been great.
Also, the xbox is great. That’s what my surprise life-ruining baby turned out to be. Check me out on live I’m the same name as somewhere around here. I am pretty bad at games.
Not that I ever stopped tagging; I just figured I should say it into the darkness.
The Flashbulb is.
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008If you haven’t heard about Benn Jordan, The Flashbulb, or how itunes stole and sold his music, here’s that interesting story (which is yet another reason not to patronize Apple or itunes). Long story short: dude gets his music stolen, so he and his label give it away and win from donations; internet works. As far as I know, he is the first artist to work with a private bittorrent site to distribute his music freely.
I’d like to formally recommend the album to anyone interested in film soundtracks or ambient type things in general. “Soundtrack to a Vacant Life” is described basically as it is titled, and while normally a much more aphexy musician, on this album he has toned and tuned everything to the pace of his life. This is a mostly relaxing trip through what I see as a truly grandiose statement of electronic music. This is a project I would do.
This story is a couple weeks old, but I finally finished getting to the album and I really wanted to mention it. This is part of us moving on. Check it out online.
Last.fm journaling.
Sunday, February 10th, 2008I guess I’ll mirror stuff I write on last.fm about songs here:
I’m intrigued by this phenomenon of a metal band here and there that are brutal as shit, yet end up being from some odd place (France? metal?) and have lyrics and themes out of left field (the environment? whales?).
A good example of how these out-of-nowhere combinations work very well is Gojira. It’s French technical death metal about environmental subjects. Flying Whales sounds like an Earth Day festival being torn down by whales with chainguns. You’d never think this stuff would be so epic, until you consider the big picture.
I am talking about the band Gojira and song Flying Whales. I’d let you hear it right now if Mog hadn’t got nerfed to uselessness by being bought by Rhapsody. You could say they got owned for being so shitty. The one use of the site is now ruin’d.
Oh, and I don’t feel like crawling all over the place looking for a flash mp3 player or something right this second. It’s always GIVE IT NOW with you people.
Also I’ve been working too much so I got no patience and that’s why I’m not entertaining you.
National Emergency: New Yacht Rock.
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008The horrors of Jimmy Buffett are thwarted in the holy-shit-they-really-did-it new episode of Yacht Rock. It was such a goddamn surprise, there was an announcement.
Featuring Vatche Panos as a drug user! JD Ryznar and Hunter Stair live up to the Yacht Rock name. What could happen next? Is it a one shot to tease the masses, or a sign of continuance? Proper link.
Too bad about Jason Lee, especially considering his recent career choices.
New Years, videos, and drinks.
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008May there be many trips to the roof for all this year.
And may all farts be lessened.
No best-ofs this year. No resolutions. No false rebirthing. No bullshit.
Last.fm home runs.
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007Well, this is a goddamned hell of a good way to get the word out about last.fm:

That is the most disgusting code I’ve ever seen on anything that you’re supposed to embed on a webpage, ever. It’s really a damn shame because it’s slick. And I will say this station (Buckethead similar) is the best station I’ve found in a while.
