I'm always curious to read descriptions of this thing. I totally missed the fact that this blog turned 5 in July. Random Fact.

match the blog with its muse

This is born out of a conversation I had with my friend Cathleen and I made it for her amusement.

Austin is a comodity you want to read about

In which the city of Austin becomes part of the Gothamist network.

April Welcomes You

The month opens with me having no interests other than Mash Ups. I've just burned copies for all the usual suspects, of my two Party Mixes. Hope you kids like them and dance a little. My Kinja, sort of like a mix tape of blogs I read. Not all my additions worked, but I like it.

I support Free Speech and I Vote

Fight The Power

Did you know that Public Enemy has collaborated with Moby ("MKLVFKWR - Make Love Fu-k War") and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion ("Son Of A Bush"). I can't wait to hear them.

Deleted Post

A dumb thing happened. For a week now I've noticed on my stats that some people were coming here to a specific old entry from searches in all sorts of search engines. Creeps and Perverts were coming to this entry because I had a picture from the movie "The Virgin Suicides" named virgin.jpg. Since it didn't stop I've deleted the post and I'm trying to get rid of the picture but for some reason I can't overwrite it. I'll get some typepad support on that.

I love the 80's

I'm a packrat. I found this sticker book that came inside a cereal box when I was kid ( probably fruity pebbles or something ). Marvel at my awesome Knight Rider stickers.

Is Grant Morrison nuts?

" Time does seem to be accelerating, information storage capacity isIS doubling exponentially. Everyone's getting into mag!c and Gnostic philosophy thanks to "The Matrix," "Harry Potter" and "Lord Of The Rings." The streets are awash with false prophets and dodgy techno-gurus... it sure looks like the Eschaton to me. "

August And Everything After

I got a mix cd in the mail from Dani:

I'm glad I waited and never got the Yoshimi CD, becuse this new version of it seems to be quite awesome. I would love for more cd's to come out as 5.1 Audio. My birthday is this month, I still don't have plans. At the very least I'm going to take the day after ( a Friday ) off.

" In August and Everything After, I'm after everything. "

Tuesdays are for consumerism

Danddy Warhol's new cd came out today. I totally dig the homage to the Velvet Underground's first album. Casablanca came out today. I now have three copies of it on DVD. Don't ask. I totally remember the first time I watched it after hearing so much about it. I think it was on PBS. I also got Bright Lights, Big City Which I think I watched the same weekend as Casablanca, ten years ago. MGM is really retarted about DVD covers, instead of using the original poster , they made their standard collage of faces.

This is a new low

I want to collapse. Stress. Work. Longing. Heartache. Ouch. Testing posting via w.bloggar. I came to work with my shirt inside out. I'm going to burn out soon.
