MLB playoffs/payrolls, Prawn To Be Wild, Gottfried, Letterman
I have four topics to ramble about today (if you don’t want to read about baseball, skip to the three more entertaining topics below): MLB playoffs/payrolls Every year around October I like to look at the payrolls of Major League Baseball teams that make the playoffs.

Radiohead’s In Rainbows and Maynard’s Puscifer
There has been a lot of interesting music news in the past few days. I’m just going to mention two things. One is really good news and the other is . . . I was going to say “bad” but it’s more like . . . WTF news. The good news is: The new Radiohead […]
betterPropaganda and weird music videos
Just want to mention this: betterPropaganda‘s already excellent website has been improved quite a bit over the past month.

College football victory chains, cat uses fork, Reznor

Absurd college football victory chains Below are […]
Happy Halloween: Vampire electronics and sports
Early this morning amidst the dense fog, I saw a woman dressed as a ladybug, with curved orange wings and all, riding a bicycle on her way to work/school. It was a surreal moment. Here’s a Halloween concept for you: “vampire electronics.” This refers to all of your plugged-in appliances and entertainment devices consuming little […]
