The Long Winters

I haven't been to Reno, but I did drive the length of Nevada (from Bonneville to Vegas) last summer, and I can tell you one thing about that: you only need a little exposure to get that desert feel. It was 120 degrees in the car without air conditioning at one point. So I'd recommend that you check ...

Is there any way to buy the song online? It won't let me buy it because I'm in Canada. If it wasn't so damned cold out I'd walk down to the beach and see if I could pick up an american wifi signal. I've actually done that before, lol. I get those crazy-weird Rodgers wireless signals on my phone all...

I will stand up and shout to the world my love for 90's swing. Pop in some Indigo Swing, Royal Crown Revue, or Brian Setzer, or Big Bad Vodoo Daddy, or Alien Fashion Show, or Lee Press-On & The Nails, or The Mighty Blue Kings, and I'm all for throwing down my show-offy, poorly executed, ECS or Lindy...

I want to finish writing this book, and to play hockey through the summer. And The Long Winters and Band of Horses playing in NYC. I'm adjusting my expectations.

There is absolutely nothing like a hardshell Mighty Taco from Mighty Taco . They're so good, as folks in that second link testify to, that their food can't even be considered "Tex-Mex" or "Southwest" or "Mexican" style food. It's Mighty, not just a "hard shell taco". Though they are just as messy as...

There are three things I can't believe about this post:

1) It took me 2 pages to realize it is 6 years old.

2) HW remembered he made it 6 years ago.

3) I used to like Honey Nut Cheerios. Ugh.

See?! See?! This is absolutely what I get for being off line for like a million years! I could really use some new music.

But, since the deadline is 4 days away, anyone willing to share some track lists?

Those links were ridiculously helpful--I never ran across that story from February, and I didn't even think about checking linked in to ask her. Those additional options are great, and I appreciate you sending that along too. The nature of Promessa's technique is what we're interested in, especially...

Hey folks, I have a question for ya'll. I read Stiff ( http://books.google.com/books?id=8Zi3-pOWtbAC&dq=Stiff+by+mary+roach&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=n9AISoTAMYGHtgepnqnpCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5#PPA7,M1 ) as part of my research for a film I'm working on, and I need to f...

"Do You Realize??" -The Flaming Lips
"John Allyn Smith Sails" -Okkervil River

The former for its joy, and the latter for the personal connection I've imbued of my Grandfather's passing inside, and the prescient purchase of "Pet Sounds" before the release of that particular song.

Wonderful presents from all!! I wish I had something else besides warm thoughts, and wishes for a happy, safe & healthy remainder of 2008. That'll have to do. Happy Holidays!!

Hot Diggity! Early Christmas indeed!

Hey, happy Thanksgiving to ya'll as well!

I'm pretty thankful for my noise reducing headphones, pretzels, my family and all ye olde loved ones, Stephen Colbert's Holiday Special, whiskey and soda, books on the occult, and The French Connection.

I hope everyone had enough to eat!

They didn't screen The Watchmen trailer at the Drive-In, before The Dark Knight. That is only one of the many issues of that night.

On my list of 27 things left to do in the North West. At least the first one is to happen next time I visit.

Two favorites: 1-Star Trek: Deep Space Nine-a number of the writers on DS9 became the creative forced behind Battlestar Galactica; similar themes, characters and dilemas--different results and more action! 2-Cowboy Bebop: Remix-An anime? Yes. A fantastic tv show where each episode is musically theme...

I am rushing to get to an interweb location to watch by Sunday! Is it everything it promises to be?!

I think Sour's estimate comes more from the average amount of time it takes a band to record a record and tour it, to come home and record another record. I don't mean to say that with certainty, but with some subtle observations of my own record collection, most bands have an album out around the 2...

I finished it in classic style (well for me anyway): less than 24 hours after finishing it. I don't have any photos, but I read most of mine in the second floor of Millard Filmore Suburban Hospital, when I wasn't spending time with my Grandpa, who was there for 3 weeks. Don't worry, he's in a nursin...
