Superhero Re-enactment
My buddy Cooper IM’d me this link to a parody video about guys doing Marvel Superhero reenactments. This is hilarious stuff, particularly if like me you are familiar with the source material. Stick around all the way to the end, because the last 5 seconds are the best.
Chris Pedersen
Lazy web question: Is the Chris Pedersen who starred in the Penelope Spheeris movie Suburbia the same Chris Pedersen who drummed for Camper Van Beethoven?

I was just expressing my appreciation for the Jesus and Mary Chain and how refreshing I found their albums, coming in the dark days of radio hair metal during the mid to late 80’s. I recently heard some of those songs for the first time in a while and was struck all over again how [...]
This Ain’t Right
I took this dumb test and came out 0% Midwestern. As a kid from Nebraska and Kansas, I call BS on this.

R.I.P, Desmond Dekker
Sadly, an original king of ska, Desmond Dekker has died. I often think of him when I get up in the morning, slaving for bread, so that every mouth can be fed. May he be rock steady wherever he goes next.

Last night I went to the beach to see V For Vendetta. I had really wanted to see this in the theater before it left, and was surprised to find not only that it was still showing in my area but was in the IMAX format. I’ve been a fan of the story since I [...]

High and Low
Tonight we went on an impromptu evening dog walk at the beach. Man, do I love living in a place where that is possible. When we came home, we had some Qdoba burritos and then watched the oldest movie taped on our DVR - Requiem for a Dream. It’s been on there since last October [...]
EGC Clambake For May 22, 2006
Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for May 22, 2006.
I play a song by Headlights; I play a clip from the Penn Jillette show and talk about how I’d rather hear someone express their human, fallible opinion than pretend they have all the answers; I play a [...]
High Tech Old School
Whenever I use Audio Hijack Pro (of which I am a proud paid customer and give my highest recommendation), I always use the VU Meter plugin. Maybe this is my radio background showing in the romanticization of old affordances, but watching that needle bounce to the right and into the red is infinitely more satisfying [...]

I recently watched the episode of the Henry Rollins show that had PT Anderson talking movies and Aimee Mann as the musical guest. That led me to break out my copy of Bachelor No. 2 and spin it. When I first got this album, and even before when I had MP3s of a few of [...]

In one panel from Calvin and Hobbes, my recent life is summed up. I love it when things are concise.
Hammer Down
The last week and change has been slammed. My time from the trip to Raleigh last week through the weekend was filled with solid work. From Monday to Tuesday we took a super fast trip to the beach at Wilmington NC - not the best time for it but we’d had it scheduled since before [...]
EGC Clambake For May 14, 2006
Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for May 14, 2006.
This show is about work: my relationship to it, my (seeming) inability to ever stop thinking about it in one form or another, how layoffs affect the expectations of employees and a tale of the worst job I’ve ever [...]
Heavy Metal Thunder
It’s Bike Week in Myrtle Beach. Conway sits between MB and most everywhere else, and we live between the highway route to MB and the business route to MB - in the audible range of both. we’ve been hearing the rumble of pipes for days now, with another 8 to go.

Back in Town
I spent the last few days in Research Triangle and Cary NC. It was lots of work at HQ, with a little bit of doing big city stuff in the evenings. I made my now traditional trip to the Apple Store in Durham, hung out at the mall and chilled in the suburban retail paradise. [...]
Story of My Life
Workety work, work, eat, workety work, work, sleep, work. The only thing breaking the routine is that right now I’m working while listing to last week’s Hour of Slack, which was a rerun from 1987 of Rev. Ivan Stang interviewing Robert Anton Wilson about Subgeniusism, the Illuminati, the 24 conspiracies that rule the world and [...]

I’ve been invited again to speak at Podcast and Portable Media Expo, about which I’m quite happy. My talk will be Friday, September 29th from 10:30am - 11:30am. I like this better than the previous one because I can get in, do my talk as one of the very first things and then simmer down [...]

Whew, busy weekend with no blogging or podcasting. The John Scofield show Saturday night was really fantastic. We got to the festival fairly late, walked around a little and got some coffees. We set up our camping chairs and got good seats for the African dance troupe. They were quite enjoyable, and an hour of [...]
