I decided to surf for Repo Man web sites after I finally got around to ripping the soundtrack from the movie. It took me a while to realize I had not ripped this cd, as it is part of the special edition dvd version of the movie. Of course the dvd and cd come […]
I have been trying to beat the heat with time in the basement watching movies.
Zatoichi the Outlaw (1967)
I didn’t watch all the Zatoichi they had on IFC when I had cable, but after watching the Beat Takeshi version I was intrigued and wanted more. This is solid picture, which both good sword fights, a […]
Supergrass and the Super Furry Animals will be releasing new albums this summer. This makes this a good summer for me.
Stereogum had a link to the web site for the new Supergrass album. I definitely recommend people check out the title track.
The Super Furries are still working on an update to their […]
I listened to Chapter 15 of the new Harry Potter book while driving to the post office this morning. This means I am half through the book. The chapter a day requires discipline, but it has definitely extended my enjoy of the book. I am also keenly aware of the almost per […]
I put the MTAmazon section back into my main template and it appears to be working ok. I am using my new Amazon Web Services subscription ID.
TshShiMaMiRe looks like it should be a real Japanese word, but it is made up. This three piece band is all about big guitars, little voices, and cranking things between soft, whispered moments and clanging, loud moments. And it sounds like they have a lot of fun. I find them reminiscent […]

Even though I like Doctor Who in that fan boyish way, I can never truly appreciate it like the British. Like Warren Ellis.
His tag line for the photos […]
As part of my recent manga and comics obsession of the summer, I picked up a volume of FLCL. The manga led me to the anime, which I got from Netflix (all three dvds of anime crazy, goodness). I mentioned this series to the anime expert at work and he said, “oh yeah, […]
I have been a bit lazy about posting all the reviews of my j-rock cds. I think I would rather just listen to the cds.
Jude’s Electric Rainbow is a bit more moody, quiet, almost brooding than the other j-rock albums I picked up in Tokyo. It definitely has a wider ranges […]
I have been reading Warren Ellis’s stuff on warrenellis.com (and diepunyhumans.com before that) as well as his Bad Signals. I have not been a particularly avid fan about his comics work, but I decided recently to try one of his new creations.
He is writing a bi-monthly comic for DC’s Wildstorm called Desolation Jones. […]
