April 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Bloggers, Color Wars, Music, Nerdcore

mediocre merit badge
I didn’t win. But apparently my merit badge is pretty awesome. All kidding aside, thanks to Doc Pop for selecting me as his runner up. Thanks to Chris Brogan, Jimmy Gardner, Jonny Goldstein, and everyone that dug the rap. Do I have a future making nerdy raps or raps of any kind [...]

Stephen Malkmus @ 930 Club 03/28/08 Encore

April 7th, 2008 · No Comments · Concerts, Music

Chatty as ever, nonchalant, sing-song often non-sensical lyrics: these are words used to describe the performance by Stephen Malkmus at the 930 Club here in Washington. I’ve always enjoyed his wimsical “flow” - the way that he molds imagery with his quick witted style. Stephen Malkmus, formerly of Pavement (R.I.P. circa 2000) - [...]
