A short note from Reno. A while back I read a short but informative book about the development of the psychedelic San Francisco music scene back in the sixties. Can’t seem to find it in the library catalog at the moment, but I think it was called “San Francisco Scene” or “San Francisco in [...]
Here is my interview with 66.6(repeating)% of Cryptacize, who I mentioned in my last post, and who are still on tour. This interview took place 2008-10-24 Fri in a car motoring from Oakland to San Francisco over the San Francisco Bay, by way of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. I rode shotgun while Chris [...]
First I would like to note that my friends’ band Cryptacize is on tour, and you should go check ‘em out. Music and tour dates can be listened to and viewed here. They’re coming to such NAP-friendly cities as Chicago, Austin, and Houston. Their music is sweet and slightly off kilter, a real treat. [...]
I had started writing an off-topic political post, detailing the reasons why I’m supporting Obama and why you should too, but it would’ve been ten pages long, and my energy has been sapped by eight years of madness. Perhaps if you’re reading and you’re still undecided, let me know your major issues of concern, [...]

Had never been to the San Francisco War Memorial Building or any of the other fancy cultural buildings lining Van Ness street west of the Capitol, err– I mean City Hall. A friend happened to have a pair of free tickets, which is [...]

You can download this here (for a week or 100 downloads). I was going to put it on PodOmatic, but because we’re not “pro”, they now seem to [...]
I find North Korea totally fascinating. Who knew they had a website, for instance? Check out their mp3 download section, with top hits from the North!
Watch The Vice Guide to North Korea. I think you’ll find it fascinating. If you don’t have time for it all, episode 14 is pretty funny. The vice [...]
A short survey of what I’ve been into lately.
The Who “Heaven and Hell”After putting some binders of CD-R’s in a slightly different position on the shelf, I’ve been revisiting their contents lately. It’s funny how you can listen to a CD you’ve heard before and have a track jump out at you that [...]
