The Jane Does - You Bring the Devil
This is perhaps my most obscure pick of the decade, and my freakiest find. The Queen of My Universe was showing me the tremendous hoax of a video blog called Lonely Girl or something, and she had a Jane Does song [...]

I’ve seen some pretty funny movies this summer. I finally watched “Walk Hard:The Dewey Cox Story” and loved every minute of it. A couple weeks ago I saw “Pineapple Express” and love at least 9 out of 10 minutes of it. But today we saw “Tropic Thunder” and it far overshadowed all [...]

Steve Earle
The first time I heard Steve Earle was a song he did a video for in the 80’s called Copperhead Road. It’s a cool song about meeting your maker and stuff. He looked really scruffy back then. Check out the totally 80’s video if you have a minute. Then Steve [...]

After a very depressing week or so of reading, I’ve finally finished American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century by Kevin Philips. It was a tough book, but someone had to read it, and I think everyone who’s not aware of how messed [...]

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting from the Eagles’ new release “Long Road Out of Eden.” I was reasonably sure from the title that I would get a good dose of anti-imperialism from Don Henley, my favorite angry white California Muslim. I wanted at least a glimpse of greatness that is “Hotel [...]

Songs of Mass Destruction - Annie Lennox
I looked at the title and I thought this was an Anti-War album. It’s not. I guess it could be metaphorically, but it’s not. Once I got past the disappointment and expectations of that, the rest of the CD was okay.
The title is apt [...]

In my Social Studies Teacher school, they made me take Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. The problem is that I took both courses during my sophomore year. I don’t remember most of what happened my sophomore year. All I remember about Macroeconomics was that my professor was a blind Pakistani guy, and that somehow [...]

Medium turned ten and wanted an MP3 player for her birthday. So my choices are the Zen Nano 1G and the I-Pod Shuffle 1G. Both comparably priced, both come in pink. As you probably have discerned from the title, I’m not an I-Pod guy. I’m also not a Mac Guy. [...]

You hear people describe some venues saying, “There’s not a bad seat in the place. That’s a perfect description for the Egg in Albany, NY. It’s all about the sound. The theater is like being inside the surface of a steel drum. As Patty Griffin herself said, it really doesn’t look like an [...]

I don’t know how James Carville and Mary Matalin do it. There’s no way I could be in a serious relationship with a Republican. Even if she was hot. A couple well-meaning friends once set me up with a Republican. We had fun until we started talking politics. She wasn’t very [...]
