Here is why I don’t normally watch American Idol: because of hacks like Allison Whatsherbutt, who deafened me for a while last night. She sang “Someone To Watch Over Me,” one of the best songs ever put to lined paper, like a pig in an abattoir. Good job, Allison: you can song really frickin’ loud. […] Apropos of nothing, here is a list of song titles you will never hear: “I Love You So Much (I Shat Myself)” “Bacon Me All Over” “Once, Twice, Three Times a Single Bit Memory Error” “I Heart Urinal Cake” “The Eva Braun Blues” “I Want To Taste Your Kidneys” “You Broke My Heart (And Also […] I’m a little apprehensive about sharing this, because, to be frank, I basically poured my heart and soul into it for the better part of two weeks, and I’m still not sure if it’s good. When I listen to it, I’m greatly disappointed, but I usually am when I listen to my own stuff. I’ll […] Just a quick note: if you like photography at all, check out 2008 in Photographs at boston.com.

That is pretty sad, for someone who prides himself on…well…I’m not sure what I pride myself on. Food consumption, I guess, and I’m also remarkably good at growing zits. Anyway, you might be curious about what’s been going on, but probably not. The new job […] So: my homey Shaun TC is in the cast of “In The Heights,” which you may or may not know is up for something like 11,304 Tony awards. (Okay, it’s just 13. Still.) You know what that means? Running diary. OH HECK YES. I should warn you; I was hard pressed to keep up with […] So I finally broke down and got myself a recording setup. It is PIMP. It is centered on a PreSonus Firebox, which connects via Firewire to my HP desktop. I also got microphones, mic cords, a pop filter, and 2 mic stands which of course have not yet arrived so I had to hold the […] In my never-ending quest to develop SOME kind of visual artistic skill (I draw about as well as my son, and he’s mostly interested in eating the crayons), I have taken some new photographs. Feel free to ridicule them. I’m particularly fond of this one: |
