It's time once again for another rousing round of Wormhole! What's Wormhole you ask? Well, click on the previous link for full details and games (extra info here and here).This edition of Wormhole is gonna take things in a different direction. I'm going for the Slang Names of cities/areas in music. I'm thinking names like "Bed Stuy", "ATL", "Dirty South". It doesn't just relate to hip hop...

"why is it every time i think about you/something that you have said or implied makes me doubt you/then i look into your cynical eyes and i know it/as if it never meant anything to me/parallel lines on a slow decline - tractor rape chain/better yet, let's all get wet on the tractor rape chain/speed up, slow down, go all around in the end"so sings Guided By Voices Robert Pollard from the classi...

So, I'm just catching up around here... throwing out some posters I've done recently and some music I dig... excuse the big mess...Here's one of my favorite posters I've ever done... I've been sitting on this idea for a while... I used a now-defunct newspaper from San Francisco (The San Francisco Call) from exactly 100 years ago to the day of the show for this... I spent a lot of time on it......

I feel like Guided By Voices this fine Monday......and I get the feeling I might feel like this every Monday into the distant future......here's a couple "must listens"... First up, from "Earthquake Glue," a doozy called "The Best of Jill Hives"... (Robert Pollard, lead singer/songwriter/all-round guru, apparently got the title to this song while snoozing while watching TV... what might have b...

..There's no need to reach all the way back to the 60s or 70s to discover a band with as much power and melody as The Who... .This generation has GUIDED BY VOICES..Born and nurtured in the Lo-Fi nest... sounding like a slightly British garage band, but hailing from Dayton, Ohio, GBV ripped through two decades... leaving empty beer bottles and brilliant tunes in their wake..The heart of GBV is R...

I originally wanted to title this post "This one is about blow jobs", but I don't think that would go through the MOG brain or whatnot. That, and the good corporate people of the world don't need to see "watchbatteries has made an entry on MOG: Blowjobs" on their e-mail notifiers. Time for the backstory. Alirght, remember the game I put out over the weekend? Well, one of the lines was from the ...

Somehow this weekend I managed to watch the entire first two seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Don't know how I managed to squeeze it in between caring for 4 cats, a dog, a grandmother, cleaning house, making 200 flyers for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, doing RHPS, working, driving all-the-fuck over Los Angeles, and fixing an air conditioning unit in my townhome, but TV always seems to pre...

:http://www.toothpastefordinner.comSometimes when I am resistant to working, I put on a playlist of long songs alternating with this one song which is exactly 2 minutes long. During the short song, I get to take a break. When the next long song starts I get to switch to a different task. This is a way of bargaining with procrastination, which is sometimes helpful as a self-employed person.I thi...
