Rocktober Rally

October 31st, 2007 · No Comments

Right outside my office window. I have the bird’s eye view on the whole thing.
Opie Gone Bad playing right now… Rockies set to come up at noon (in about 20 mins).
**UPDATE**

The death of Oink

October 31st, 2007 · No Comments

Here is a brilliant rant about the state of music biz from a CD cover artist… the guy that has made many of NiN’s covers.

Game of the Year

October 30th, 2007 · No Comments

I am not one to say that I have played every game on every console of every genre. Because that would be lying. The kind of lying, one would say, of political greatness. That elevated holy level of lying where it is so preposterous, it has to be true.

Here is an amazing article on it (scans from GameInformer mag), too.

Heroes is a bit slow this season

October 18th, 2007 · No Comments
