When is the last time you ventured over to...

...my blog?

A Substitute

Dumb Dumb is still vacationing in Barbados, so to hold you over for the next few weeks there will be an assortment of guest-hosts and even some older, thought to be lost footage. I know it's not the same, but it'll have to do for now.

A little dance for Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone, from Daniel, Zion and the rest of us.

Time for a smurfing good movie...

Ever since I was a little kid I had a dream that they would make this movie. I could never quite imagine how they would turn those little blue guys (and girl) into realistic, live action characters for the big screen... apparently wizard James Camron knows best. Now I am on my way up to Indianapolis to see my dream come true (in glorious IMAX 3D). All I know is this; I don't care that Gragamel is being interpreted as a cigar-chewing x-soldier, that Papa Smurf is being played by Sigourney Weaver or that Smurfette is not actually blond... the only thing I care is that they actually refer to that giant saber toothed beast from the previews as "Azrael". That's all I need.

Kid can't sing but sure can play!!!

California English Pt. 2

This is the new Vampire Weekend that was released with Cousins on the 7" single. It rocks the socks.

Lala

Want to know what the absolute best site on the interwebs is? Currently it's called Lala.

You may have seen Lala in the news recently since they were just purchased by Apple, but they are a free music/social network site. Here's how it works:

1. You sign up (click here)
2. Download the music analyzer. This will comb your computer for music then compare that list to Lala's catalog and make all matches available for you on their site. That means you can listen to your music anywhere, from any computer (with a high-speed connection). This of course might not work for all your chamber music or Nigerian Hip-Hop, but there is a huge library.
3. Add friends. With Lala you can find people you know or people with similar tastes and 'follow' them. That means you see what they are listening to and you can discover new stuff. They can also follow you and see that you listen to an inordinate amount of Kenny G.
4. Listen and discover. Listening to music is, of course, the main point. You can listen to any 'web' song for free (once) and buy it for 10c. You can download songs for 89c (unless Apple changes that).



There are a lot of cool features. For example you can be listening to a song and start building your queue on-the-fly. There is also a 'Mix it Up' option on artist pages where Lala builds a playlist for you. Check it out, friend me, and tell me what you think.

Christmas Tree Cutting

As I was thinking about cutting a Christmas tree tonight after work, for some reason, this got stuck in my head.

Have a great Christmas season:
