Pitchforkmedia’s Top 100 Albums of the 1990s
Pitchforkmedia reupdated their Top 100 Albums of the 1990s. Sure, it might be a lame attempt at covering up embarrassing choices in their previous top 100, but I like the idea of going back and re-evaulating which albums hold up against the scrutiny of time. I think an album that has meaning over a long…

Open Mic Recap @ The Tree House
If you didn’t come out last Wednesday you probably missed the best open mic ever. Tons of great musicians and a gigantic crowd came out to the Tree House. A few old friends stopped by we hadn’t seen in a while, family members came out for support, and even one Scrooge couldn’t ruin the holiday…

RIP MP3.com
Most who read this site know my feelings on MP3.com. It used to be a great resource for finding great local and underground bands. I signed up for them in early 1998 and I loved being able to upload one of my song and share it with the world immediately. Then, they started making sure…

Poor Rupert
If you’ve been following Survivor this season tonight was a huge episode. They voted off the show’s best contestant, Rupert, and it’s all Sandra’s fault for knocking him out of the blow dart challenge. Good going! Also, why the heck did Sandra vote for John at the end? He should have been the one they…

Open Mic Recap @ the Tree House
I did a pretty poor job of managing the flow of the show last night. A fair number of performers came out, but a few only did 2 songs and I don’t think anyone dragged out their set. Somehow we managed to fit 12 performers in about 2 hours. We had some new people this…

Open Mic Tonight!

Productive Day
Sometimes you have a day where you look back and think, “Wow, I got a lot done today.” Today I installed a hand-me-down stereo (an upgrade for me) for my entertainment center, cooked a nice meal for my fiancee, and installed Red Hat 9 on my computer. I’ve been without a linux machine since I…

Reju @ Three Beans Last Night
Adrien and Steve of Reju were awesome last night at 3 Beans. I think everyone was impressed at how high Steve’s voice went during “Floating.” Mia Johnson opened up and she did a nice job. I liked her voice and her guitar style. She gets a nice percussionist to go along with the chords she’s…
