Since my last update, I’ve been to two shows at the Middle East in Boston. I’ve been sitting on this post for weeks and weeks now, and in the interest of getting things off my plate, I’m posting it as-is without any images.
The first show took place downstairs and featured Freezepop, with The Information […]

I was watching a time-lapse video of the assembly of a LEGO Ultimate Collectors Millennium Falcon, which I understand is the largest LEGO set ever released with over 5000 individual pieces. Personally, I’m still waiting for the DBZ set with over 9000 pieces… What really caught my attention however was the surreal, synthetic […]

Following in the footsteps of yesterdays post, I’m reposting the compilation I made of the videos posted for The Blow’s Pile of Gold music video (which you can read about here). This time though, I’m posting the (mostly) uncompressed 163MB version. I can’t guarantee that will stay up forever due to the size, […]

Adam and C2 came with me to see The Blow at the MFA in Boston back on October 6th. Although I am pretty biased towards The Blow, I think it was the most entertaining concert that I’ve ever seen. You can read Adam’s account here. For those that haven’t heard of it, […]

Jenny and I were at Zach and Sara’s house tonight when an iPod Nano commercial came on TV. The commercial features a series of hands moving various colored iPod Nanos around, and they are all playing the same music video (seen below). Zach asked me if I knew who the artist in the […]

Khaela Maricich posted a hand-puppet interview on her blog, The Touch Me Feeling. In the video, the puppets represent two of The Blow’s songs, and the unidentified interviewer is obviously Khaela herself. I must admit, that for all that I claim to be a rabid fan, I obviously haven’t been keeping up […]
I was reading up on the band King Missile [wikipedia], now known as King Missile III, and saw that Wikipedia said “Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players member, Rachel Trachtenburg, has served a subsitute bass guitar player for King Missile.” The group name Trachenberg Family Slideshow Players was enough to pique my interest. […]

As up update to monday’s post, Apple today released iTunes 7.2, which includes iTunes Plus, Apple’s name for DRM-free downloads. Despite the press release’s implication that the DRM free tracks are online, I dont’ see them yet.
UPDATE: To see the DRM free tracks, you have to click the iTunes Plus link in the […]
Gizmodo is reporting that DRM-free tracks from EMI could be hitting the virtual shelves this week. This got me excited because I had been looking forward to an easy way to actually pay for music online without having all sorts of restrictions on what I do with this music when I get it. […]

This past Wednesday, I once again ventured to The Pearl Street Night Club in Amherst, MA (my second visit in as many weeks) to see Architecture in Helsinki with The Blow and FDR. This show was in the “clubroom” (a.k.a. downstairs), which is significantly smaller then the Ballroom/upstairs and is more what I […]
