Oh, oh, oh. Here’s a nice new distraction for me. I’m taking a brief break in my ridiculous Monday schedule to point out the cool service at pandora.com. It’s internet radio. It’s song advice. It’s music supervision in a nifty web app. Just type in an artist or a song that you like and it […]

Leslie Feist drops by Amoeba to play a few tunes before heading off to The Ford Theater to play with Broken Social Scene. It’s the first time since I’ve been working at Amoeba that I actually stand in the audience at an in-store and snap pictures and bob my head and, you know, stage dive […]

I’m running late this morning. It’s one of my long days, wherein I go in to one job at 10:00 AM and emerge from another, battered and bruised, at around 11:00 PM. So the only way I’m gonna get time to vote is this morning. But as I said, I’m running late. I think I’m […]

Guitar Wiz, Oregon denizen and supplier of candy to children, Michael Keefe has checked in with another great set of reviews for the month of October. Some of these I already have (Depeche Mode, Boards of Canada) some I want (Vashti Bunyan, Ladytron) and some I didn’t know existed and am now craving (Arctic Monkeys.) […]

I survive the day today at Amoeba. Just barely. For some reason I’m gripped by a ravaging hunger and a muscle consistency like that of under-cooled Jell-o. Wait. I say that like I’ve forgotten that I awoke this morning at nine, that I went to bed just five hours before that, that somewhere between then […]

Still rooting through old stuff, deciding what to throw out, what to frame and what to burn. In one box I discover my old Western Digital Caviar 2170 hard drive. The capacity? 170 Megs. My current hard drive could hold 147 of these. And that was my big drive. My smaller drive was 80 Megs. […]

“What’s your favorite way,” I ask Matt at work, “to kill zombies underwater?” Tim answers before Matt can get his mind around the question. “I’d pull him down to the bottom and get his toe stuck in the drain.” It takes us a moment to realize that in his imagination, an underwater zombie battle takes […]

The ongoing struggle of my buddy Mark continues. He finally books another role in a TV show. His last one has spun around the nation in repeats a couple times, but he is ready for something new. Boy, is he ever. And this time he’s playing a cop, something he’s always wanted to either be […]

This is a scan from an photograph of me that was taken a few years ago. If you’re wondering why I’m wearing that faux-devilish expression, click here. . . . You’ll notice that my arm is tucked up under me in a classic pose of unconscious terror.

As I dig deeper and deeper through my collections and piles of worldly things I find more and more stuff that I just don’t need. Case in point: sixty-two issues of DRAGON MAGAZINE that I’ve been carting around since I was a pre-teen Fantasy Gamer. Don’t get me wrong. I love these old issues. The […]

I mention the rain in yesterday’s post, but I forget to post the picture I’d taken of the deluge outside my apartment. I veer off on that Eric Shaeffer rant instead. I think it’s because yesterday is Lauren’s birthday and I feel like I’d rather write about a director who drives me crazy than compose […]

Once again, the skies have opened up over Los Angeles. Seems to be getting an early start this year, and I was just getting into that tiny little bit of Fall. And hey, speaking of Fall, does anyone remember seeing that movie Fall, by Eric Schaeffer? I love Eric Schaeffer. And I hate him. He’s […]
