LATEST ADDITIONS

I believe I've linked to this in the past, but golly, I get a kick out of it—and it's coming soon!

I'm solidly hooked on <A HREF="http://www.joshreads.com/"><I>The Comics Curmudgeon</I></A> and I have to confess that the newly revived <I>Cracked</I> website is a guilty pleasure, so when the two get together to describe the "Five Most Unintentionally Hilarious Comic Strips," you <I>know</I> I'm there.

The writers for <I>The Late Show</I> are busy withholding their writing from the studios. So naturally, they started a blog. Great, as if I needed another daily blog addiction.

Here's seven minutes of the most cringe-worthy rock spectacle I've ever seen. The official story for this caca-phony is that the backing tapes were played back at 48kHz sampling rate as opposed to 44.1kHz. (Umm, in pro sound reinforcement, wouldn't it be the other way around?) I think Eddie, who has to be eligible for AARP now, was concentrating so hard on getting those jumps just right, he didn't notice the incredible suckitude of the solo&mdash;or, for that matter, the song.

When Luis Sinco snapped Lance Corporal James Blake Miller's picture, he was photographing a hero. But heroes aren't always what they seem&mdash;and they don't always play to type.

Several recordings have been released over and over in a variety of formats and special editions (<I>Kind of Blue</I> is but one example). Which recording do you have the most versions of?

I caught <I>Sahara</I> on the tube the other night, and thought its blend of pure mindless fun and solid barely plausible technical background was perfect. It wasn't a great movie, but it was a great guy-flick.
