Whatever side you’re on, take the politics out of this one, and enjoy some good comedy from Sarah Silverman. Thought ya’ll could probably all use a smile or three on a Friday! The Great Schlep from The Great Schlep on Vimeo. For some previous Sarah Silverman greatness, there was of course this video which contains […]

Lefsetz on AC/DC + the new AC/DC video
AC/DC says that you can only buy their albums as a complete package, not track by track. Lefsetz says that’s crap. My blood started to boil when I read the quotes. Because these rich motherf*ckers, who happen to have made some great music, are living in the nineties and ONLY care about money. There’s this […]
My DVR is crushing me + I read books, and watch videos on Youtube
Greetings from the homestead. Things have been kind of weird here recently. The other night, I got a knock on my door, and the man at the door randomly asked me if I was selling my house. With his family sitting in the van across the street. It was a little bit unsettling the more […]

Good Listening: Bruce Springsteen – Passaic Night – 9-19-78
As CD trading via mail started to build in the 90s, I suddenly had an additional outlet to feed my growing love for live shows. No longer did that require purchasing bootleg CDs from local and mail order retailers because I finally had the ability via the internet to find others that were fans of […]
Empire Records
Kelly @ Popdose is back with another winner in the Soundtrack Saturday series. Last week: Better Off Dead. This week: Empire Records. I love this movie about a Gen X-run independent record store for a few reasons. One is the nostalgia factor. It definitely makes me think of high school — Class of ‘96, in […]
