My favorite albums of 2014

2015/04/13 by Jim Leave a Comment

Seems like this post comes later every year. This year, my excuse is my other site I’ve been spending too much time on. And to be honest, I haven’t been that hugely excited about much this year. There are a lot of albums I like, but nothing that really jumps out as number 1 material. So … [Read more…]

NFL Logos as Dicks, brought to you by Kissing Suzy Kolber

2014/12/05 by Jim Leave a Comment

I love this set of NFL Logos as dicks posted on the super-funny sports blog Kissing Suzy Kolber earlier today, if only because this Bears logo made me think of the phrase “negative space dick.” I’m not the first person to come up with that phrase, and I’m sure I won’t be the last, but … [Read more…]

Too Many Cooks

2014/11/06 by Jim Leave a Comment

Man I haven’t posted anything here in quite some time, mostly ’cause I’ve been focused on other things, but something came up today that is basically exactly what this site is all about. You’re seeing it pop up on AVClub, on IO9, and everywhere else that collects awesome things on the internet, because this is the most … [Read more…]

Got 4 hours? Here’s some music

2014/05/09 by Jim Leave a Comment

A while back I asked my Facebook and Twitter friends to suggest songs over 8 minutes in length for a mix. And I got a ton of great suggestions in by far the longest Facebook comment thread that has ever appeared on my timeline. Then I largely ignored them all and put together this mix … [Read more…]

A Blue Line Tribute Mix

2014/03/24 by Jim Leave a Comment

This morning’s CTA blue line derailment at O’Hare airport ( Chicago Tribune Breaking News, WGN TV, Chicagoist ) immediately brought to my mind the 2 songs I could think of about that particular piece of Chicago’s public transit system, which are Local H’s Blue Line and pinebender’s Simp Twister. I figured there must be more out … [Read more…]

2013, Year of the Doglion

2014/01/29 by Jim Leave a Comment

These things keep coming later every year, don’t they? I’ve never been the most motivated writer (at least since I was in 8th grade and wrote a 30-page long fantasy short story and thought for a while that I was the best writer ever) and it just seems to come harder and harder every year. The … [Read more…]

A few 2013 songs to tide you over

2014/01/17 by Jim Leave a Comment

I am way late with my 2013 album review, which is mostly because I’ve been too lazy to write it up and only partly because the albums that were my favorite as of 12/31/2013 are maybe not my favorites anymore 2 1/2 weeks later. But I’m getting it together, and I’m not changing my list … [Read more…]
