The site design continues unabated. I’ve got some nifty new duds for sixsquare.com, all spread out and ready to pull over the tousled head of this here code, but it’ll be a week before all the final edits and adjustments are done. I was hoping to get it done this week and premiere it today, […]

Another reason to love vinyl: Complete Flickr Pool here. There’s some great stuff in the set. I really like this one, too.

The floodgates have opened in the wake of the Tom Cruise Scientology video. Everyone with a camera has put together a parody. This is my favorite. Jerry O’Connell as Tom Cruise: Scientologist. I love the parable of the rabbit and the elephant. And it’s a WGA spot, too! Extra relevant for the Sixsquare-verse. the parody […]

So, Heath Ledger is dead. That just sucks. I mean I wasn’t a huge fan, or anything, but he’s a bit young. Sure it was drugs and there’s a part of me that pretty much wants to say, “Idiot,” and move on, but the drug thing can happen to anybody. It does, frequently. But I […]

Just a quick aside (literally — look at the category) to say that the big red letters reading UNDER CONSTRUCTION above are serious. This site is about to get a complete makeover. It hasn’t looked the way I’ve wanted for a couple years. So stay tuned. The theme’s almost ready to go, but, as usual, […]

Yesterday I said something about how one should not, dear reader(s), be surprised to see British Sea Power at the festivals this year because, “theirs is a festival sound.” And then I linked to the Coachella site. Well, the folks at Golden Voice must have noticed and decided to show me up by actually announcing […]

Yesterday I posted a little more about some of the cool stuff from 2007 that I hadn’t gotten around to talking about yet. One of those little items was actually the Dandy Warhols tune from 2003 that found its way into the opening credits sequence for Veronica Mars. I then went on to hint that […]

Wrapping things up for the Year in Music here. I can never seem to get these things done before Christmas, which is when everyone else is doing it. I like to let the year truly end before I get into the bests and worsts and, well as in today’s case, the stuff that deserves special […]

About a year and a half ago I ditched most of my possessions. I was always a collector. I had a thousand DVDs. I had a thousand CDs. I had hundreds of comic books and hundreds of original movie posters. Scores of books. I got rid of them all. But the one thing I couldn’t […]

Siobhan Donaghy. Do you know the name? I’ve no idea how I stumbled upon her 2007 release, Ghosts. A mention somewhere here, a glimpse of the cover art there; who the hell knows? But I heard “Don’t Give It Up” somewhere and I had to try out the album. Maybe it was at one of […]

Hot on the heels of the release of the single, comes the video for “A & E”. It’s a simple affair with the usual singing chanteuse, forest setting, and, um dancing piles of leaves. Marvelous payoff, too. And… I can’t post it here. I had an entry all typed up and coded, embedding the video, […]

So we continue on.One by one we’ve covered my Ten (12) Favorite Tracks of the Year and we totally had fun doing it, right? Those were my very favorites. Those were the ones about which I most wanted to write. But there were others. In fact, at last count there were something like 130 songs […]
