  • Thu 5:38pm Why were my headphones designed to be more comfortable when I turn them backwards? (Maybe because they also fall off easier that way?) #
  • Thu 10:20pm The trouble with going to another company's party is that they aren't expected to be at work early the next morning. #

I recently discovered that NPR has quite an extensive rock/pop/folk music section on their website. This includes the weekly show All Songs Considered, which I haven't listened to much but seems sorta like a more-NPR-sounding version of Sound Opinions.

But the really cool part is that they have downloadable recordings of full concerts, including:
Metric
(The) Gossip
Moby
... among others that I'm still exploring.

Oh yeah, and NPR provides podcast links to all this music, in seemingly endless permutations.

(By the way, Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney is part of the NPR music staff, which is especially amusing when she's covering the Gossip show as a reporter/fan and Beth Ditto gives her a shout-out from stage as an inspiration.)


Oh, and just because this song came on after I listened to the Gossip show, I have to add that no matter what the haters say, Courtney Love rocks.
Mood:: 'bouncy' bouncy
Music:: Courtney Love - Mono

  • Mon 7:59am had no coffee over the weekend and woke up with a headache today. Time to fend off the addiction again. #

  • Sat 5:27pm When I said it would take an hour or two to install Linux alongside Windows, I didn't account for Vista.... #
  • Sat 7:29pm eh, who needs Windows anyway? *WIPE* #

  • Fri 5:57pm amazing how much faster I can do things onscreen after replacing a 6-year-old video card with a new one. #

  • Thu 9:23am Survived the wind, but the cold? Turned back home for wool socks & hiking boots. Must find a warmer climate. #
  • Thu 10:58pm Realized that the windows are probably the most insulating part of this 19th-century house. Brrr. #

  • Tue 8:59pm amused that Spamassassin considers my mail from "President Barack Obama <democraticparty@democrats.org>" to be spam. One reason: bad font. #
  • Wed 8:07am wondering if the coming wind will shut everything down for days like it did last fall..... #
  • Wed 2:44pm@headius: Holy crapoly! There's finally going to be a Tron 2.0 movie! is.gd/5h7cT #

  • Sat 11:41am took two weeks (and my wife's birthday) for it to sink in that I'm now 37 and no longer in my "mid-30s". Eek! #
  • Sat 3:38pm Pretty sure the tire is overinfated if the tire gauge pops into 3 pieces. #

  • Fri 6:53am amused at how big tech companies can inspire such strong loyalty/trust and hatred/mistrust: Microsoft, Apple, Google.... #
  • Fri 9:40am What, other people need to wait for updates before their Twitter client shows new-retweets? Another win for having the source code. #
