  • 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 have found it on my own.

    I’m not sure having Chris Martin on the track really adds anything to it, but I must admit that I rather like it. Even if it is the radio edit.

    Anyhow, just thought I’d share the spoils of my hunt with the handful of people that actually manage to read this site. Perhaps you’ve been trying to get a hold of it too. Enjoy!

  • 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 aware of the issue, is there?

    Update: Back online as of about 1:55pm. I’m still a bit peeved, but at this point I’m just happy to be back online.

  • 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 testing out the Akismet anti-spam plugin for WordPress. It seems interesting, but until I get a little more traffic and comments I won’t be sure of exactly how well it’s working…

  • 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 of defy description. I guess you could call them emo, indie or pop punk, but that’d really be selling them short. Go see them live. Seriously.

    Thanks to Soren and Kathryn for convincing me to drag myself out to Hollywood for the show.

  • 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 I’m not going to be very pleasant to be around today.

  • 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.
