Happy Faces!
31, Mar 2007Michelle and I ran in the Monumennt Avenue 10k this morning. Neither of us had done hardly any training so we’re happy with our time of 91 minutes. Next year we’re running the whole thing.

The Grave Robber’s Daughter
27, Mar 2007I don’t like horror movies but I love horror comics (and Westerns, but that’s for another post). The Grave Robber’s Daughter (Amazon link, but you should get it at your local comic shop if you can) is the latest installment of Richard Sala‘s Judy Drood mysteries. Like a lot of Sala’s work it’s exceedingly creepy [...]

Theismann out of MNF booth!
26, Mar 2007Deadspin told me so. I had really made my peace with my Thiesmann-hate. Yes, he was an arrogant, know-it-all doosh most of the time he was talking but if you could look past that you could see that he knew a lot about football.

I first heard this Swedish trio on the follow-up to the now-classic (to me, because it introduced me to a ton of good music) Las Paletas mix from Janet at Out The Other. The power pop [...]

Nice 6 #11
25, Mar 2007I haven’t rebuilt the Nice 6 page since the move but that doesn’t mean I should deny you the goodness. Nice 6 #11 is a return to what Nice 6 was supposed to be about in the first place: a snapshot of what I am listening to at any given time. There is so much [...]

Heavy Rotation – Albert Hammond Jr.
25, Mar 2007Albert Hammond, Jr. (MySpace page link with a couple of songs to stream) is the guitarist from The Strokes with the brutal haircut and the 3-piece suits. His first solo album “Yours To Keep” has been getting decent reviews and I think they’re well-deserved. This isn’t an album of the greatest songs evar but they’re [...]
