Roughly a week into listening to the new REM album, Accelerate, I realized I’m having fun being an REM fan, and that hasn’t been true in a while. I’ve been walking around with my iPod, singing along with many of the tracks and probably scaring passersby. I’ve been recording TV appearances and reading reviews, and […]
Yesterday was probably the best experience of live music I’ve had, one of those everything-comes-together situations that just makes me feel incredibly lucky to be living the life I’m living. I’m gonna try and get some of those moments onto the record and point you to some spots on the Internet where you can catch […]
At this very moment, I am listening to the last song on my iPod’s random playlist of my entire library. I have an even 1200 songs on the Pod, and I need to put a few dozen more on. But I couldn’t plug the iPod in to resync it without resetting the Shuffle Song list, […]
Full review of the new direct-to-DVD Babylon 5 work over at theLogBook. Short answer: one story was decent with some fun dialogue. One was dreadful.
I’ve been trying to put together some more iTunes playlists lately, even though I love just taking my whole library and sticking it on shuffle. It’s the closest thing to WDAVE I’m likely to get.

I’m very happy to have Eureka back on the air. I’ve been going through the commentaries and deleted scenes from the season 1 DVD set - look for a review soon on that - and the first two episodes of season 2 have been strong. I think I’m most amused by the Live Smart PSAs […]
We went to see the new Pixar movie Ratatouille today. It was quite good, although the pacing was unconventional. As a result, I think there’s a little more distance between this film and me in comparison with Brad Bird’s left effort for Pixar, The Incredibles. The movie centers around Remy, a rat whose senses are […]
Not counting my PC, I haven’t owned a video game machine since my brothers and I shared a Super Nintendo back in the proverbial day. I must admit that the upcoming Star Wars game The Force Unleashed and BioWare’s forthcoming Mass Effect have me seriously reconsidering that, as soon as the change under my sofa […]
Don’t know if I’m gonna write a full review or not, but here’s what I’m thinking after three passes through the new album:
If Wikipedia is correct about which four songs the full lineup worked on with Steve Lillywhite as producer, I think it makes sense to view Time on Earth as a Neil Finn solo […]
