My current favorite web toy is LivePlasma. It’s been around a while, but if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s like a Flash version of those Rock Family Trees they used to have in Rolling Stone. It works with both music and movies. The fun part is that you can click around and keep exploring […]

Harvey Danger has reunited (well, the drummer’s new) and recorded a new album, Little by Little. Great news if you’re a fan (I’m one) - they basically self-destructed after the second album. I’m glad they got back together. While I won’t say they “rock” exactly (I’d place them somewhere on the spectrum between Weezer and […]

First Red Eye, then Flight Plan - seems like planes are the new “hot” setting for movies. From the director of Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco - Samuel Jackson is starring in the very aptly-named Snakes on a Plane.

Oh to be a frustrated artist. At least artists have focus.
My problem is that I want to do and try almost everything I see. Jack of all trades, master of none - that would be me.
I’ve got a rotating set of interests that alternately consume and then bore me (til they come back around […]

I’m a relative newcomer to the Firefly universe. Well, I did watch it when it was first on TV, but (since the network somehow decided to show the third episode first) I didn’t really get it and I (and millions of others) never watched it again.
I’m not a Buffy fan, and I’ve never watched […]

Boy, was I excited for the new Neil Young album, Prairie Wind. I’m a long time Neil fan, and even through rough patches (by which I mean insanity like Trans and Neil and the Shocking Pinks) he’s always bounced back with something good.
Well, not this time. Coming off his latest rough patch (the Broadway show […]
