Anyone remember 92.1 The Edge from back in the 90s?  How did I miss that it was back, now at 94.1?  A welcome addition to the Lansing-area FM scene, finally there’s something other than classic rock, old heavy rock with some occasional newer rock, light rock, and country.  Since I can’t get WGRD from Grand [...]

I know, it’s blasphemy.  Screw it.  I’ve been disappointed in the last 2-3 episodes.  The final season started off strong, reminiscent of the early seasons.  Funny, slapstick at times, but also poignant.
Now?  Partial cast episodes.  I realize the cast is expensive.  But tough, it’s the last season, cough up the dough and write real episodes.  [...]

and why you should, too.
This has been bouncing around the hopper for awhile, but thought it somewhat appropriate given today’s MacWorld announcement that iTunes Music Store would finally be dropping it’s Digital Rights Management on music.
For the past few months I have been getting my online music from Amazon.  Their MP3 store offers most everything [...]

I must say, this intrigues me.  I’m a sucker for anything with Tim Burton’s name on it, and the Apple trailer RSS feed says the sound track is Danny Elfman.  2009 looks like it’s shaping up to be good!

I realize I’ve been absent from writing for a long time, and this won’t make up for it, but I HAD to share this link.  Courtesy of Gizmodo, MTV Music is apparently trying to put everything music video related online.  Like seriously.  Music videos, live recordings, clips from shows, everything.  Its at once bare in [...]

So Netflix has account “profiles” that you can set up – giving you the ability to allocate slots to different queues.  I want to create a “TV” queue and dedicate a slot to streamline getting TV show discs.  I’ve got everything in my main queue now – how the hell can I move those movies [...]

I saw in this morning’s Amazon MP3 newsletter that they had the new Nine Inch Nails album, The Slip, available for just shy of $9.  Buuuut, that made me remember bookmarking a blog post awhile back about how NIN were giving the album away for free!  Not only that, but the free offerings start at [...]

WALL-E is sitting at 98% on RT right now, and this Gizmodo review raves about it.  I might have to scrape up the 4 bucks and go downtown and catch it.  Pixar for the win!

Weezer has a new album coming out, and here’s the video for the first single.  Ummmm…it’s weird.  Like, every single YouTube Internet meme is featured.  And what’s with the porn ’stache Rivers Cuomo is sporting?

As for the new album (Red album?), I’ll probably check it out, at least listen to some samples on Amazon or [...]

Well, after a handfull of episodes since the writer’s strike, most of the TV shows have been wrapping things up lately.  Some of my thoughts on the endings:

The Office – wow, this is what it’s all about.  When it’s running on all cylinders, The Office is the best show on television, hands down.  There must [...]
