With my newfound love of podcasts, which so far are mostly lightly-edited spoken word recordings around 15 minutes long, i kind of wonder about the future of "albums" as a means of music distribution. i think within a few years, more musicians are going to start going in the podcast direction, releasing free ep-length web audio "broadcasts" ( Read more... )

i really get a kick out of the underground adult comic books of the early 20th century. Very crudely drawn and vulgar, yet honest and often hilarious. wierd how the dirty words of the 1930's are mostly the same as what we say today, proof things really haven't changed that much. but who knew that "jazz" was slang for sex back then?

I took a very long barefoot walk on the beach this afternoon (like 3 hours), and seeing all the happy-looking families with their happy kids got me secretly wishing i could be a normal person like everyone else is. Would it be so bad just to give in to the red state ideal of what a good 30-something American male should be? Why can't i just give up ( Read more... )

there's WAY too many musical acts these days, how can anyone possibly keep track of all them? there's somewhere around 25,000 musical acts on Myspace alone. and 90% of it is completely worthless; crappy songwriting + bad production = unlistenable ( Read more... )

there's now a distinct laughline on the left side of my face that wasn't even there a month ago. it started out as a small crease that was there only in the morning, and its quickly become a permanent fixture. but its not that i'm starting to look like a mature adult that bothers me, its the fact that the left side of my face seems to be aging ( Read more... )

what if i told you i wanted to print out a document hundreds of pages long and full of news stories, and design an entirely new one every day, and deliver it to everyone's doorsteps in the middle of the night, with underage kids doing most of the packaging and delivery work, and each issue would cost around 50 cents? you'd think i was insane ( Read more... )
