skullcrusher mountain
I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don’t like it
What’s with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don’t like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn’t it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
--Jonathan Coulton, Skullcrusher Mountain

iTunes not iNsync?
Well, look what popped up when I did an iTunes google search: iTunes iSbogus . Seems there's an alternative to alternative (corporate) rock. ;)

velvet smog
For those of you in the San Diego area, be sure to check out Velvet Smog, our own Mike Roufa's jazz trio. They're playing this Sunday (6/26) and next (7/3) at Hennessey's Tavern in the Gaslamp. (Details are on the Global Spin calendar.)
If you can't make it to one of the gigs, be sure to download a song or two from their Web site and have a listen.

you gotta funk it up
Boing Boing just reminded me of a song I used to love growing up. (John, do you remember this one?) The lyrics are just beautiful. Not only do they contain gems like "I learned to rock like dolomite," but there's even a duel between our DJ hero and Superman, apparently moonlighting as a DJ of Steel.
Ah, good times. Has anyone seen Mergatroid?

Ben Folds....Shatner?
I am not kidding. William "Kirk" Shatner is back in the music (?) business in an album with Ben Folds (famous from Karen's shirt, at least in my world) called Has Been. The link is to a site that has mp3s and reviews, but I actually heard about it on NPR this evening....

World on Fire
I may be the slow one here, but I just saw the World on Fire video by Sarah McLachlan and I was really moved. This article explains how they spent $15 on the video itself and donated the money a video would normally have cost to eleven different charities around the world. As you watch the video, it tells you how much each thing would have cost and what they spent it on instead. It's awesome.

Experimental film
This video is so cool I don't even have words to describe it. You'll just have to see for yourself.
Go on. You can do it.
