Everyone blogs

I am not very good at updating this blog, and anyone reading would probably say i'm not that great at blogging in general. Regardless, I wanted to take a moment and point out some truly excellent blogs for anyone interested.

First is one from the mysterious "Aicram". This is one exciting read with a witty, insightful point of view (its almost christmas, so ignore the brown nosing). In all honesty this is a great blog.

I am an unashamed fan of DC Comics and the DC Comics Animated Universe. I once considered doing reviews of their shows/dvd's until I found Justice League Revisited. This is one of the most thorough episode by episode deconstructions of any series you could hope for.

That is actually the only two I've got for the moment but you should definitely be following both. Tomorrow, or maybe later tonight, some short reviews for the massive amount of new music I've gotten since going on tour. I will also detail some of the fun of spending two weeks in a cramped van with four other people :).

My favorite moment

Tonight in a moment that reminded me why I love technology, I downloaded the movie "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist". I am not going to go through any of the reasons I really enjoy this movie (most of it involves kat denning) but it did make me think of one moment of most weekends that I love above all else: The moment before the night begins. Whether it involves prepping the band/loading the van, or making calls and scheduling, or just meeting with some friends for a few drinks, my favorite part of any night out is the beginning. There is a degree of hope, anticipation, and expectation that combines into something. Whether that something is fun or horrible is up to what the night brings you and the choices you make. I just love those beginning moments of the night.

Now to reflect on my previous post. Hanna Barbera has been putting out collections of cartoons from the 60's and 70's. I recently purchased the 1960's collection vol 1, and the complete Space Ghost. Some of these cartoons have not aged well but some of them are truly awesome. I'm a big fan of the aforementioned space ghost, along with the impossibles,top cat, the herculoids, and a host of others. I won't call this a review so much, but trust me when I say the dvd's are worth it. Here's a taste of the herculoids and the impossibles. (thank you Youtube)





You know you want it.
