I wish this kid had made it... but it's kinda classic that he didn't.

Links from Madrid. Same person, two different sites. I'm not sure what it's for, but Sour Sparkles has a nice color theme and layout. And the portfolio of the same person can be viewed here.

I really doubt I could possibly ever log a cooler site. Icon South Beach is hands down.. nuts. So good.

Well hot damn.. I just finish griping about the lack of harddrive space in iPods and they release new models with 40 gig drives! Time to start saving...

Here's one for the bookmarks and the checkbook: Musicstack. Along with Siren CD, Amazon, and the occasional local shopping you're bound to get whatever music you're in need of (and there's always eBay... like for that rare Tool Aenima vinyl).

Went out on a little photo excursion with Jamie yesterday. Kind of interesting to see what completely different results the two of us came up while taking pics in the exact same location (also interesting to see the overlap). Anyway, you can view our seperate works at the following: Jamie Photos - My photos.

Family Guy.. The Movie? According to Cinescape's interview with Seth McFarlane it is in the works with a projected release in about a year, year and a half. It'd be a direct to DVD release, but that's really no surprise. Interesting to see if that actually happens. Link via David Bean.

Dandy Warhols acoustic performance on KCRW. Thank me later.

Note to self: Download software from etree.org - get on FTP sites and download Tenacious D bootlegs. Thank you Grant.

Nashvillians, don't forget that Melvin Goes to Dinner opens tonight at The Belcourt. And yes, I am a Bob Odenkirk whore.

Best news I've heard all day. The new Quasi disc will include a bonus live disc (read all about it right here). Hopefully Grimeys will get it.

Some nice new desktops over at the Veer Archive. The "Brothel" wallpaper is what I'm currently sporting.. even though it looks fine, I wish it was at 1600x1200, as opposed to 1600x1024.

Must... order... Spike Jonze DVD.. must.. patiently.. await.. Chris Cunningham and Michel Gondry discs... Thank you Slatch.

I spent some time browsing the works over at Shrine. Maybe you should too.

Every quality nerd has some random toys and action figures by their desk. I think I need to add Einstein or almost any of these guys. Thanks Grady.

If you ever find yourself wishing that Rilo Kiley had more keyboards and danceable beats - you need to listen to Metric. Don't get me wrong, it's not house music - just a different vibe. Very good stuff.. playing Nashville October 3rd at 12th & Porter.

Yep, I'd have to agree. Well, kind of... mostly that artists need to be pushed, not singles or images. But maybe I'm just naive.

Don't let anyone tell you that our country doesn't have a problem with violence. If they do, smack them and show them this article. Because then you will have proved your point two-fold.

Nice photography by Antonio Carusone. Two notes of interest: 1) Alot of the pics are taken with the Lomo LC-A.. I am still pissed that mine is broken. Jealousy abound. 2) The layout of the site is really nice. I've been wanting to see some nice, elegant, clean, yet interesting layouts and this one feels like it fits that mold. Link via Madrid.

Someone provide me with further information regarding the FLAC format. I've heard that it sounds as good as raw wav. Is that possible?
