Jose Gonzalez

31, Oct 2006

Have you ever heard of Jose Gonzalez? I had seen his name around but I only got to hear him when his video for “Crosses” showed up on Subterranean a couple of weeks ago. Here’s the iFilm link to it. You should check it out. Kinda folky/indie/Swedish (all in the best possible way). And here [...]

I’ve let too many albums pile up here in the Heavy Rotation folder so i am banging all of them out in one post. No matter your musical taste (unless you have none) you will surely find somthing you will like. “Easier“, like a lot of the songs on Grizzly Bear‘s album “Yellow House“, has [...]

Better dead than Red.

Well, maybe not dead, but why would they mess with the color of Guinness? This sounds as dumb as New Coke, only now they’re messing with one of my favorite beers stouts ( sorry, Ireland — ed.). “Manufacturer Diageo plans to produce a version at its Irish brewery using lightly roasted barley, which will have [...]

Everyone Loves Hiro

Wow.

Here’s the link. Super slo-mo videos of golf balls getting shot through stuff (gumball machine, jar of mayonnaise, cantaloupe). Very cool. And Chris, don’t look at the mayonnaise one. You’ll get the heebie-jeebies.

Gabe at PA on EA

23, Oct 2006

Gabe over at Penny Arcade has been frustrated with the online part of the new Tiger Woods game. He touches on a sentiment that we’ve shared here at SaM: “The most frustrating thing is that there’s no competition. Just like the NFL, EA has an exclusive deal with the PGA tour. So they can get [...]

I love this guy. Here’s the link to the blog. He sponsors a professional Halo team I got the Halo team. I guess everybody is finding out about that. I’m just a big video gamer. I love video games. That’s my off the court project that I own a Halo team called “Final Boss.” They’ll [...]
