Guilty Pleasures
Friends might laugh or recoil in abject horror when you drunkenly admit that one of your guilty pleasures is Gilmore Girls – but the ones really worth keeping around dismiss your confession with, “Well, at least you’re not addicted to EastEnders…” P.S. I know my geek cred totally went out the window by confessing this,…

How’s That For A Slice Of Fried Gold?
Oh. Fuck. Yes. Underworld is apparently going to have new tracks available in their online shop sometime this week! This is quite possibly the best Monday I’ve had in at least a couple months. I just hope whatever it is they’re selling is downloadable. Honestly, I don’t think that I can wait to get something…

Bittorrent Your iPod
So Podtropolis seems pretty neat. I mean, a torrent tracker for iPod ready audio and video content makes a whole bunch of sense to me. Wonder how long it’ll stay up though… Maybe I’m just jaded, but this sort of thing seems destined to get cease and desisted in short order. *shrug* Time will tell,…

+ It’s comforting to know that even Mickey Mouse has been suicidal. + Dude! Toothpaste For Dinner Fanfiction!

It Weren’t Supposed To Be So Easy
I’ve been scrounging for the alternate cut of The Streets “Dry Your Eyes” featuring Chris Martin for some time now. And while I’m sure that I would have had it months ago if I made a habit of regularly reading Stereogum – or any other mp3 blog for that matter – I’m just happy to…

Let’s Hear It For Silly Internet Memes!
I know it just got started, but Green Banana Hats is going to be one of the best Flickr groups ever. Just you watch.

Walking With A White Stripe
I just heard the White Stripes cover of Tegan and Sara’s “Walking With A Ghost” and I must say that I rather like it. So, uh, you wanna hear it? But hey, if the RIAA asks, you didn’t get it from me…

Still Waiting To Get More
*grumble* I haven’t been able to pull a data connection on my Sidekick since a little bit before 11 this morning. Thankfully, it doesn’t look like I’m the only one having a problem. *shrug* I guess there’s no need for me to waste the next hour on hold to find out that T-Mobile is already…

Bit Rot – 10.31.05
+ After buying the first three issues in stores, I finally got around to subscribing to Make. What’s nice is they’re offered complimentary digital editions that I can browse thru as of today. It’s pretty cool to be able to flip thru a magazine weeks before it makes its way to my mailbox. + I’m…

Love Is A Tiger Pit
Going and seeing MC Chris last night was a really good idea. He did as much stand up as he did rapping, but the audience didn’t seem to mind as everyone was in stitches all night. What’s more, I’m very happy to have been introduced to the musical stylings of SNMNMNM last night, who sort…

Looking Back
Two years ago today I lost one of my best friends to a motorcycle accident. I still miss you, B. And with everything that’s been going on lately, I really wish you were still around. You were my most sympathetic ear and one of the kindest souls I’ve ever known. I have a feeling that…

Battles
Duane: You know what they say about love and war. Tim: Yeah. One involves a lot of physical and psycological pain and the other one’s war. *sigh* Oh Spaced, how I adore thee.

Dear Dave,
Do tell me that the Macintosh version of the OPML editor you’re showing off on your site is a very early beta. Because honestly, it could use a bit of polish on the UI. And by a bit, I mean a lot. Yours truly, Jason

Bit Rot – 10.12.05
+ Ooooh, Termite looks like it’s going to be a pretty sweet open source feed reader. + The fact that there’s an honest to goodness Serenity Role Playing Game makes me happy. It’s almost enough to make me want to break out my box o’ dice. + I can’t think of anything less punk than…
