Maybe it’s just me, but more than once I have experienced the phenomenon of having the same song playing in my head over and over again – except, it’s in a dream. I had “Way Cool Junior” by those musical prodigies, RATT (that one’s for you, Mr. Pickles…), as the soundtrack to multiple dreams last

Trying a new thinger on the site – Audioscrobbler… if you scroll down, on the right side of the page is a list of the last few songs I’ve listened to. It *should* update automatically, and eventually be able to track my listening habits. We’ll see if it works or not.
I was poking around on Pollstar, when I noticed that there were some tour dates for Queen. They have been one of my favorite bands for nearly 15 years now, ever since I first saw the video for “Innuendo” way back in the spring of 1991. But not six months later, the hopes of ever

I was watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas” earlier today, probably my favorite Christmas special. What’s funny is that it would never be made today… it’s far too low-key, it has a jazz soundtrack, and they actually have the audacity to mention Jesus. It’s funny how many Christmas shows today have some nebulous message about “the

And the Sox sweep it in four… pretty cool, I must say. Hopefully it won’t take them another 86 years to win the Series. On a slightly related note, Google can be really weird. When I was searching for that image over there —>, one of the pictures it pulled up while searching for “red

The man who was responsible for the definitive portrayal of the definitive superhero died last night… Christopher Reeve, the star of the “Superman” movies whose near-fatal riding accident nine years ago turned him into a worldwide advocate for spinal cord research, died Sunday of heart failure, his publicist said. He was 52. CNN.com
I have the feeling a lot of geeks (including myself) are going to be a bit poorer on December 7th… on that day, the Return of the King extended edition DVD will be released, as well as the 10 disc (!!!) Ultimate Matrix box set. That’ll set you back a c-note or more… at least

Well, the audition went well – I thought so, anyway. But considering the guy before me was allowed to play all the way through five songs, and I did one whole song, then just half of two more, that’s a pretty clear indication that they weren’t interested in what they were hearing. I definitely would

I’ve put up about 30 CDs for sale at half.com, so click on the link to the right and help me pay my bills!On an unrelated note, after talking to some other TC guys who had the same kind of chemo I did, it turns out I’ll probably have to wait another month or two
