“Daylight” by Matt and Kim

Song of the Day Now this is the song I need after a long hard day of working.  Now let me give a little run down on my job. First thing first, my coworkers are the best in the world.  Why are they the best you might ask?  Well this is why, they are my [...]

Runaways: Pride & Joy

This is going to be a quickie. Work is killing me this week so I apologize for the brief post. I just read the Runaways volume one and let me tell you I was uber impressed. The story was fun, fast paced, and the characters are very cool. It is basically the tale of a [...]

Afro Samurai (Unrated Director’s Cut)

Not Smirched My love for Afro Samurai grows day by day. I finally got my blu-ray of the first season, and it has been everything that I expected it to be and more (with one exception: I expected MORE swearing than the game but I was mistaken, there are actually less F-BOMBS in the show [...]

“The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance” Vampire Weekend vs. Miike Snow

Song of the Day I have been listening to Miike Snow for about three months.   Their self titled album, Miike Snow, is great-grand-wonderful.  The album feels something new, its sound is unique and fun.  I don’t know much about the band, they have stayed incognito as to who they are.  But they remixed this “The [...]

“Ourorboros” by The Mars Volta

Song of the Day It was a busy day at work, and could not focus on finding a song.  After I got home and unwound, I was ready to post.  Even if it is a little late.  As continuing with this week of Volta, we are going to venture to The Bedlam in Goliath.  “Ourorboros” [...]

The Lawrence Welk Show (SNL)

There are a small number of Saturday Night Live skits that become instant classics. The Lawrence Welk Show is one of those skits. From the first “Shank you Tank you” to the “I like can I touch?”, the beautiful hilarity grips you by your stomach and beats your risible muscles until they are stiff and [...]

“Inertiatic ESP” by The Mars Volta

Song of the Day I was thinking about it yesterday and relized that I really like The Mars Volta, they are one of my favorite bands.  I love their whole discography (Scabdates gets a little iffy) each CD has to should be listened to over and over again, and overall their music remains continually progressive [...]

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Recently a discovery bewildered and upset me. My wife confessed that she had never played Zelda: OOT. After the shock wore off, I quickly applied my Gamecube to the wall mounted television, and inserted the special edition Zelda disc that had come with its purchase. As their cables completed their intercourse, a faint galloping could [...]

From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell

Several months ago, I began amassing a large number of desirables into my shopping cart on Amazon.com. “From Hell” was on of those desirables. Being the recent recipient of much lucre I swiftly purchased the novel and set about cresting the summit of its vast contents (it is roughly 3 inches thick). The topic of [...]
