Our Year 1 Fruit Tree Order
One of my goals for year one was to have some basic fruit in place. Most will not bear fruit this year, but giving them a full season to set roots and grow will mean a decent crop in 2012. So, I just put in a last minute fruit order at Raintree Nursery, thinking I…

Everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day
“Everybody’s smilin’ as they march in the parade, and there’s something that they’re drinkin’ and it isn’t lemonade, whether you are black or white or even old and gray, everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day…?” Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Grateful Deadopoly – Now You Can Own Shakedown Street!
As I was perusing Twitter last night I noticed a bunch of retweets from @DeadOpoly. It seems that someone went ahead and created the Grateful Dead edition of Monopoly. Which makes sense, since you can add -opoly to the end of anything nowadays and create a game out of it. Ghettoopoly and Redneckopoly only serve…

If you have a Last.fm account you can just pop in your username and it will compare your listening habits to anyone else who has listened to that artist, and then spit out your “mainstreamness.” You can check out my results…

Contrast Podcast – Song Chain
 It’s been a long time since I have contributed to the Contrast Podcast. For those who don’t know, it’s something of a meta-podcast of music bloggers. If you take a look at the blogroll on the sidebar of the website, you can see just how extensive the list of contributers has become. The theme…

FADER Dedicates Issue to Jerry Garcia
 A couple weeks ago FADER dedicated their current issue to Jerry Garcia, and on top of that, decided to distribute the .pdf of it for free. Though the Grateful Dead will give any band a run for a spot in my all time top 5, I’ve rarely posted on them here at Burning Oak…

Burning Oak: Now FlickrPro!
It was inevitable. After a recent camera purchase and some beautiful weather recently, I’ve opted to finally upgrade my Flickr account so I can upload unlimited photos and have unlimited sets/collections. I’ve already been having fun with it, and you can check out all some good concert coverage there: Concerts: –Guster @ Foellinger Auditorium 2007…
