With new releases from Japandroids, JEFF The Brotherhood and Andrew W.K. all on the horizon, it is safe to say that 2012 is becoming more
In a freak combination of events, today's guests and I were able to link up and do a Q&A. These gents are two more
Hey guys, quick update! Loud Fast Rules will still be on air for the summer, however we will be moving one hour up! So more
Well folks, my banjo and I are off to the Emerald Isle for the summer, where I hope to hear and make some folky-tunes more
Bluegrass Junction from Sunday May 6, 2012. On this episode, we remember George "Goober" Lindsey (1929-2012). Lindsey is most wel-known for his part as more
Oh man, I think the recent bugs at Facebook are all part of their rolling out of a shit-ton of contextual updates. Small additions that increase usability while increasing required bandwidth are good? Eh?
Virb is dead. Long live Virb! The social networking site that I fell in love with way back when is official closing—kind of. It’s no longer going to be a sexy alternative to MySpace. It’s no longer going to be a decent alternative to Tumblr and Posterous. Instead of being a mish-mash of not-so-complete social networking functions (including a short-lived Last.fm alternative), Virb will crack it’s cocoon in July and emerge as a Square Space competitor?
Details are a bit sparse right now, but that is exactly how it seems. Except, I don’t see any mention of a native blogging feature. So, it’s going to be an easy way to make/maintain staticy web pages? Yeah, the themes they’ve been spotlighting are quite sexy. And they seem to be internally excited about what they’re making. I can’t help but feel, however, that Virb could have built up into a great community for artists.
The new site looks like a fantastic tool to create a resume or portfolio site. But, it’s not going to be free anymore. And, they aren’t offering an easy way to save any content from the old service. Apparently there will be some tight integration with Tumblr, but I’m not sure why Virb is going to be better than Tumblr + Premium Theme + Tumblr’s Pages Feature.
I want them to prove my hesitations wrong.

Merlin Mann, of 43folders.com, explains how we must remember who we are and not go running to the internet for answers when we forget. Why do we check our e-mail so often? Why refresh Twitter and Facebook every few seconds? It’s a long video; but, it is very well worth it. This video isn’t about who you should be, it’s about watching out for people who try to tell you who you should be.

So, “everyone” knows about the new show this fall that premiered on the CW called The Beautiful Life. It was hyped up and stared one former OC star and one former High School Musical star. Well, it was cancelled after two episodes last month. But, my question is how did people in this sex-starved country pass up the chance to watch the show with these naked people in it?

There’s a new band out of San Francisco called I Come To Shanghai. They’ve decided to release their first and self-titled album on their website in the “name your own price format” made popular by Radiohead. More importantly, their video (above) is rather grand.
