The new Dr. Who has amazing, scary teeth…
Apr 21… and reminds me of Ed Grimley at times (mostly when he grins.)
iToo much fun
Apr 20So, I’m perusing JList (I need me some of that Final Fantasy potion drink, but the damn stuff is ‘spensive) and I notice that they’re selling iTunes pre-paid cards. iTunes is now operating in Japan and since you can’t buy music from other countries (unless you have a credit card issued from there – LAME!), you can use these cards instead. Awesome idea. But what was even better was that it basically reminded me that I can log-out of my Canadian account, switch to the Japanese store, and listen to all their stuff!
So far, the collection of iJockey albums is hilarious – I can’t understand a word they’re saying, but they appear to be collections of people saying things to you, things meant to cheer you up. My favorite is Manly Poems, with Cheer up with Verbal Wine a close second. I wish I knew what they were saying.
Anybody finds anything good on any iTunes store from any other country, share. In fact, let’s make it a thread.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a CD.
Apr 19The Superman cash-in begins…. NOW!
Something to read, something to listen to, something to watch.
Apr 18After a full nine parts, Kevin Smith has wrapped up his epic account of the trials and tribulations of Jason Mewes. While all’s well that ends well, Mewes dodged a bullet. The last installment includes a lot of pictures of a very healthy, sober Mewes, but Kevin has posted a video clip Mewes made him, nine months into going clean and it shows a repentant, toothless Mewes laying it all out for his pal.
For a year now I’ve been listening to a podcast, Claybourne. In short, New Zealand public radio produced a 96 part radio series about an American company man sent to check out a facility in remote NZ – it’s a bit of a drama, a bit of a Lovecraftian tale of nameless horror – there’s even a frickin’ self-aware AI in it, and while I know it all sounds wierd, it’s good stuff. The Podcast Network has posted 85 of the parts, so nows a good time to jump in.
And Working Title Films has posted their fourth Hot Fuzz on-set video blog, starring Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.
