If any of you are looking for something to put up in your house/record rooms, Ian Johnson just put up some originals on his site: http://www.ianjohnson.bigcartel.com He's a super nice dude and he has a really great, instantly recognizable style. Just passing this along because I figure...

http://songexploder.net Anybody listen to this? I stumbled on it the other day and I love the idea. Some are really good, some so so. Regardless of liking the music, I find this stuff interesting. The artists themselves explain the process and play individual tracks. There are big bands...

I rarely ever work on music anymore, but I like the idea of it. I'm generally too tired (work and young kids). I've been thinking about upgrading, just for fun. I have an mpc 2000 and have always used that, but recently bought a Maschine for this teen music thing I did at the library. I liked...

So yesterday I get an email about their kickstarter and they had a goal of $110,000. Not a huge amount of money, but still not small. Well, it only took them two days to double the goal. Wow. I love them, so it's not that surprising, but it's pretty impressive...

For some reason, I can't shake my cold this year. It comes and goes. I do have a 3 year old and a 5 year old, so there's that, but we've all had a cough for a long time. It's making me wonder if it's our house.

Maybe you saw this performance on Letterman. I dig the sincerity. It's probably not for most people on here, but this performance is kind of awesome. It's old, I know, and it was viral. Embarrassing dad styles and the growls, but I find it pretty fun to watch. Letterman loves it too. But...

Had my car window smashed this weekend in SF and the bandits made away with the huge score of a diaper bag, wipes, and 3 diapers. Now I'm stuck with the Bill and Ive got to wait it out until the window order comes in. They even removed my daughters water bottle and left it on the curb...

It's fcking raining dudes! On a serious tip, schools cancelled. Just drove to work and it's kind of wild. 101 was flooded across both sides at Oyster Point. Garbage and shrubbery all over the road. I got to work early though because I got on right at the flood, literally took the on ramp...

I've been listening to a bunch of podcasts lately and I'm really curious about the legality of music use in them. Is it the same usage principle as radio? The difference is that people are downloading these and owning them. There are some pretty big podcasts that use mainstream music clips. I...

I think there was a thread on this before, but I couldn't find it in my phone. People still listen? I enjoy. I'll admit I usually skip his intro. The recent interview with Ms Pat was interesting. She's had a rough life to say the least!

Are DVDs coming to a close? I think we'll still see big time movies and maybe studio flops (hoping to recoup), but has the end come for everything else? I have this thing about owning shows I really like. I'm not really this way about movies, but I like to collect tv shows I really liked...

http://www.newyorker.com/culture-desk/sarah-larson/magic-number-de-la-soul-twenty-five Kind of a weird article overall, but this made me laugh. Q-tip you say? As a writer, wouldn't you just quote a Q-tip line so that it made sense? Or does she not know the difference. Nerd level complaint...

Yo, when I'm not mounting expedits or shopping for sandals, I'm reading this shit: http://www.getondown.com/blog/2014/06/pre-sale-for-brian-colemans-upcoming-book-check-the-technique-volume-2/ Volume 1 was great. Simple. Words from the people involved. Enjoyable. Brian Coleman is a cool...

Worth a listen. Well put together. http://www.egotripland.com/frank-the-butcher-dj-7l-bad-boy-original-samples-mix/

Add on to complete the story. It was a muggy summer night in New York City. Jim had just been on what possibly was the worst date ever...

"Getting my swerve on like an IKEA shopping cart" (Why do they all drive sideways? So smooth, but so crooked.) Please add on. Let's help people rap. I really just want to talk about those serving carts, but this should be more fun.

Can you dig it? I thought the first ep was pretty good. How it will continue to play out, don't know, but I enjoyed it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's a tv version of Fargo on FX. Coen brothers exec produce.

Oh my. Incredible. http://vimeo.com/m/86014703

Finally got around to transferring all of these from an old computer. Most are from '07 and '08. It'd be great to have the original threads with all of them, but the randomness of some of them cracks me up. There's a few that I didn't remember at all. I wasn't even sure if I made them, but I had...
