So I recently broke my leg. Which means many things but most expensively it means that I’ve been taking a lot of taxis. The NYC taxis have a tv on the seat that shows on repeat the following three things:
1. an intro on how to use a touch screen with Regis & Kelly, in case you forget.… Read More

1. ALBUM Whisper House Duncan Sheik
This fantastic 10-song cycle is a gorgeously orchestrated group of songs set in the WWII-era all about ghosts and the stories they tell. It is sung to perfection by Sheik and guest vocalist Holly Brook, and has many shades of Spring Awakening, logical considering this is one of Sheiks’… Read More

I was surfing the nets listening to Blip.fm when the Frou Frou song “Let Go” came on, and it reminded me of my first days in New York, and this trailer.
I remember when I first caught this, my friend Rohan exclaimed that it was the best trailer of all time. I agree completely- forget about the… Read More
I just received an email from Oprah.com (whoever put me on her mailing list, I’ll find you) titled “Books On a Budget.”
What a fantastic idea for an email! I spend way too much money on books!
Remember when DVDs emptied our wallets? Then Netflix came around and saved us millions?
A few years later, I realized… Read More
It’s not just a picture. It’s a blog.
For the best paleo-techno fornications, hit the jump:
Did electing Barack Obama as our president destroy comedy for the next four to eight years? I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and holding off on writing about it. Then this cartoon was published, stirred up a hornet’s nest, and I confirmed my suspicion. Yes, undoubtedly Obama is killing comedy.

Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More
