New Phone Number

Sunday, May 29th, 2005

I have a new phone (Audiovox SMT 5600) and a new phone number. I left the new number on my outgoing voicemessage, so you can call and get it or email me if you want me to send it.

Yahoo! Music Engine Requires Admin Rights?

Wednesday, May 18th, 2005

Apparently Yahoo! doesn’t really care enough about their potential customers to answer my customer service emails, so I’m posting here hoping someone will be able to help.
I only have a few days left in my trial subscription to Yahoo! Music Unlimited and I don’t want to have to go back to Rhapsody because I like [...]

Yahoo!Unlimited ANTiSEEN Playlist

Tuesday, May 17th, 2005

Yahoo! Music Unlimited has 3 (of the couple dozen) albums from Charlotte’s finest, the greatest thing to come from the Queen City: ANTiSEEN!
ANTiSEEN, if you don’t know, is punk as fuck, dirtier than grunge, more Southern than Skynard, and the undisputed heavyweight champions of rock and roll.
This playlist contains 22 songs, ranging from the defining [...]

Yahoo!Unlimited Tips for Rhapsody (v2) Users

Monday, May 16th, 2005

If you’re trying out Y!U as a replacement for Rhapsody (and if you’re a Rhapsody user, I think you should give Y!U a shot) and you’re not a “Rhapsody to go” user, these 2 steps might make things a little more comfortable for you:
1. when you install, check the “do not index my music at [...]

Yahoo!Unlimited Wins Battle of the Music Services

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

Rhapsody has been the best thing that has happened to my music listening habits since Napster and when I first installed it, my friends got tired of my wide-eyed Rhapsody evangelism. But a couple years later, Rhapsody finally released an update and it was a couple steps backwards instead of forwards, correcting almost [...]

Fluxblog: The Twin (Featuring Avenue D) – “Fire Desire”

Saturday, May 14th, 2005

Fluxblog continues to deliver the goods. Yesterday they posted this new gem:
In a genre dominated by homophobes, one excellent queer ragga song can seem like a minor miracle. Believe it or not, this is Boy George sparring off with raunchy NYC hipster booty MCs Avenue D for the affections of some lucky Chi-Chi Man. [...]

Carnivale is Over

Wednesday, May 11th, 2005

I’ve had a very sad post rolling around in my head for a while now, a post that I just couldn’t make myself write, a post I refused to even speak about. When the second season of Carnivale ended, I was speechless. I turned off the television after the last episode and never [...]

“Midget” is Offensive… Who Knew?

Thursday, May 5th, 2005

I really had no idea that Little People consider the word “midget” to be an insult, and apparently neither did Roger Ebert until someone corrected him.
personally, I still feel, as many do, that the term midget is akin to “nigger.” I am forty and grew up in that Dwarf Power era as Mr. Sawisch discusses. [...]

The Mars Volta 2005.04.29 The Tabernacle, Atlanta GA

Sunday, May 1st, 2005

I hate lines. I’ve never really gotten used to them nor come to terms with the idea that they are required.
So when I saw that the line for The Mars Volta at The Tabernacle was down the steps, down the block to the corner, then down the entired length of that side of the [...]
