I really like making muxtapes. A dollar for the first person to spot a theme there.
An awesome rediscovery →
Two things worth blogging here. First, the quicky: Geocities. What a hilariously terrible idea. I mean Whiskey Tango Foxtrot were they thinking with those frames? And why is it still around?? OK, now that’s over, this: I was listening to The Beatles song “Help” the other day on my drive back to work and I realized: “That song is real. Really real. That song speaks to...

Matt, that joke is hilarious and awful. Congratulations. mattmattucci: Dick Jauron, old friend, prepare yourself for the beating of a lifetime.

Did the Roots just trick me into liking a lame emo... →
I can’t decide which is stranger about this Slate article: On the one hand, the author’s sweeping derision of Chris Martin, Nelly Furtado, Adam Levine and Gwen Stefani in the same breath as Linkin Park seems so preposterously anti-success as to make Pitchfork Media look mainstream. (Granted Maroon 5’s first album will likely serve as their only enjoyable one, but to write them...
Nothing like a good grammar joke... 'Commas,... →
The last line slayed me. I’m SUCH a nerd.
My life, three years ago
beekeepersclub: Sam still has his blog up from sophomore year of college. Awesome. It’s proof that at one time, I was pretty decent on guitar. Now I blog in my free time. Don’t hate me for the Dave love; I was a confused college kid. Don’t hate me for the Dave love either. I’ve gotten much, much better. But I just can’t help myself on occassion … And Raz,...

– E-Money, an ‘anonymous blogger’ at We Are The Postmen, got posted up by the NYT. E, solid work homie. The rest of you, check it out: Blog at Your Own Risk - The Opinionator - Opinion - New York Times Blog I assure The NYT, and anyone else who might have been confused: that was not a very...
Mattucci, I love you. →
Waste some time, via Mateo.
What was the freakiest thing Gary Busey ever... →
A great question or the greatest question? Either way, Gary Busey is an excellent punchline. Here’s the answer: I came home one day, took off my windbreaker, and three bindles of cocaine fell to the floor. Well, my dog, Chili, who has short hair, came in and laid on her back with her legs in the air, and she rubbed all my cocaine on her back and side. I yelled, “No, Chili! No”...
New mix: 'Pop is really OK' →
New mix should be up for a while, so check it out. Also, no LCD Sound System this time. Haha.
Beware the New New Thing →
While the title seemingly reeks of any number of ailments such as xenophobia, protectionism, among any number of other -phobias or -isms, this is a quality article from a surprising source: The lead singer of OK Go. He raps professorially about how the internet should remain an open forum promoting good ideas at the expense of the short term profits of internet service providers. And he should...

It pays to be a nerd.
Look ma, a mixtape →
hellofriend: hellonewworld: Check out my mixtape … It’s official: “All My Friends” is the official song of Muxtape. It has a remarkably high hit rate (including, it should be noted, on my as-yet-incomplete page). Speaking of LCD Soundsystem, I listened to that album today for the first time in a couple months, and good god, it’s still ridiculously good. First, this is hilarious because I...

Check out my mixtape …

I now present to you Smoove’s Happiest Memories Of When We Were Together: #5: That time I broke you off nasty outside of that club. #4: Making love until the dawn on Christmas morning. #3: The night you invited your friend Cherise into our bedroom and I then hand-fed both of you the succulent berries before getting freaky with both of you in my whirlpool. #2: The many nights you rode my...
Stop Making Movies About My Books, by Dr. Suess →
On the fourteenth of March, in towns nationwide, In every cinema, multiplex, on every barnside, Gleamed another adapting of one of my books, CGI-ed and digitized by another sly crook. Horton, my favorite—look how he’s been treated! Stuffed with tinsels and tassels and promptly excreted! The puns! And the filler! The script fees you must save! While I tumble and grum-humble around in my...
Something for the ears →
Check a dude out at his site. This music is very, very good. Thanks to my main man Ryan at The Beekeepers Society for telling me about this guy.
