two things I would do differently, if I were in a band
Published by August 18th, 2009 in all about me, concerts, get over it!, is it just me?, music musings, venting and wtf?!. 6 CommentsLast night, I went with James and Broderick to see the amazing Bat For Lashes at the Loft, and she was, well, amazing (albeit, a bit strange… she really takes being “alternative” seriously). I really enjoyed her set (Natasha Khan was admittedly outstanding live), and even the opening band, Other Lives, was quite amazing as [...]
since this is a blog, I guess I should post, right?
Published by August 17th, 2009 in movie musings. 2 CommentsNot much is going on with me at the moment, so there isn’t much to post about; well, nothing that I would want to commit to typed words going off into the infinite reaches of the internets anyway.

Published by August 14th, 2009 in five song friday, music musings and music suggestion. 1 CommentFor today’s selection, I decided to go back through some artists that I may have featured in the past.

I have been a fan of [...]

Yelp: a(nother) soapbox for bigots?
Published by August 5th, 2009 in all about me, blog on blog, civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 15 CommentsImagine my surprise when someone requested to be friends with me on Yelp today, and I find out that he is writing extremely hurtful and bigoted remarks about me in one of his “reviews”. Not only did he post the review, but after it was taken down, he was allowed to remain member of Yelp, [...]
shiny new things, and a potential problem with an “old” shiny thing
Published by August 3rd, 2009 in shiny stuff. 0 CommentsSo this weekend, I got a Mac Book Pro. I really like it, but am frustrated, because I have had some issues trying to get my ipod, playlists, and song ratings onto the damn thing without having to manually update it and move each and every song (that would take FOREVER).
