We’ve been Groovlily fans for a while now. Stephen and Brendan became friends over the internet eight or ten years ago and we were fortunate enough to get to see the band play live while we lived in North Carolina. (Brendan playing keyboards, dancing around minus his shoes = the awesomest!)
I was doing some errands [...]
This year’s theme: Stephen’s big ego.
First, I was recognized by so many people. I blame Brian Richardson. Sure, he’s had me doing videos for DCTV, but this year, in his role as director of videography, he started broadcasting panels on the DCTV in-hotel channel. Viewership jumped, and people began recognizing me and several other DCTV [...]
When we were in college, Stephen took me to see Pink Floyd in concert. This is standard mating ritual for the nerd set.
He loaded eight of us into his parent’s Suburban and we drove the five hours to Texas Stadium in Dallas to see the show. Sounds like a great college road trip, huh?
Except [...]
I’m obsessing about Project Runway again. Misty thinks Suede knows Suede is over the top. Someone told me Tim Gunn had a podcast. Anybody know anything about that?
Sometimes, a band’s disparate elements will come together into a single amazing song.
“Antarctica,” off of The Weepies’ new album Hideaway, is that song for me right now.

Hey, Reality TV contestants, what are your thoughts on friendship?
Ah, glad you cleared that up for us.
I loved paper dolls when I was a kid. I know it’s rooted in my obsession with paper, so it’s not really a surprise that any craft that involves cutting, folding and gluing paper is going to rock my paper socks.
Back in the day, paper dolls were hard to come by. When you could [...]
Wall-E is as delightful and enchanting as you’ve heard. At Metacritic it currently has a score of 93%; at Rotten Tomatoes, 96%. It enthralled the kids (including ours) who were at our showing, and entertained the adults.
It wasn’t until some hours after I saw it that I realized I’d seen the best 1970s SF eco-disaster [...]
Where’s Waaaaaaall-E? I don’t see him.
Why is his shelf swinging?
Is that Waaaaaaall-E’s cricket friend? Why did he leap around?
Why did that explode?
What are those red lights?
What is that? Is that a rocket?
What’s that robot’s name?
Why is Eeeeeeva flying around?
Look, I folded up in my seat!
What does die rective mean?
What’s wrong with Waaaaaaall-E’s eye?
I need a [...]
I’ve never listened to a lot of mashups. I appreciate a lot of vs. songs, like most of Party Ben’s, more than I enjoy them. That’s especially true of the Evolution Control Committee’s “Pwn Monkey”, which layers the vocals from Jonathan Coulton’s “Code Monkey” over thirty different songs, all chosen to match the vocals’ chord [...]
