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 [...]

In a game touted as the biggest fad since “robo tripping” in the early 90’s, the broom game, made popular by Ellen DeGeneres and now adopted by Ze Frank and his so-called “Color Wars”, are causing dizziness, bruises, contusions, and vomiting all over the world.
Yesterday, in Lincoln, Nebraska a group of Twitterers (members [...]

Travis Morrison Hellfighters @Black Cat 02/22/08
April 7th, 2008 · No Comments · Music, Vlog
Travis Morrison Hellfighters came around to the black cat after Travis’ big move to NYC. Travis Morrison will always hold a place in my music collection with the Dismemberment Plan - but his influence over the music of the Hellfighters holds steady with his lyrical way of singing, pop sensibility, tech-pop-soul-funk-progressive keyboard/piano riffs, and his [...]

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) - [...]
