  • New Car + No CD Player = Cassette Tape Comeback

    I recently acquired the lil’ blue beauty you see pictured above as a direct result of totaling my old car on the way to Summer Camp a month ago.  The accident seems to be a mixed blessing.  One of the unexpected pros of the situation was learning to drive a stick.  A more pertinent “benefit” would…

  • Last.fm Mainstream-O-Meter

    I just caught wind of an amusing application via False45th called the Last.fm Mainstream-O-Meter. 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…

  • SXSW: Gina Lee & The Brisket Boys @ Flipnotics

    After awaking with something of a dry throat Friday after quite an enjoyable Thursday evening, my hosts and I headed to Flipnotics coffee shop where they were both playing. Since I haven’t mentioned so far, I was staying with my cousin Sweet Basil McJagger, organist for The Derailers, and his wife Gina Lee, Austin’s finest…

  • iPod Predicts End of World; Plays REM

    I just found an entry on WikiHOW that explains an interesting way to use your iPod as a Tarot card deck. By making a playlist of 78 songs, renaming them as the cards, and (if you have iPod video or nano) putting the cards as the pictures on the songs. I normally might not be…
