Fat Frank on TV
My Uncle Robert, aka “Fat Frank” of Fat Frank and the Plank Spankers, is going to appear on this week’s installment of the Antique Roadshow on PBS. He’ll be the one with the Ukelele. If you can’t catch that, you can always just watch him on YouTube.

Radio Free JP
My long-time friend and fellow music freak John “JP” Palmer is now working the 4-6am free-form programming slot on Tampa’s WMNF 88.5 Community Radio. This probably provides him a bit more satisfying creative outlet than his day job as a Bank Vice-President…at least, I assume it must to make the hours worth it.
Luckily, the [...]

Magnetic ribbons
The Asylum Street Spankers’ tribute to magnetic ribbons is brilliant. Love these guys. Watch some of their other ones while you’re there.

That call center guy
I’m really tired of seeing this guy:
He’s everywhere. I see him on website support pages all over. I see him on printed documentation. I guess he’s “Support Guy #1″ in some stock photo collection or something…but I don’t really care to see him anymore!

Noble creatures
The Gourds are back with a new record and fancy new website. I’m a sucker for their obtuse mashup of traditional American music and obtuse lyrics. You gotta love a record that starts out: “Jammin’ on the old cartoons with the swagger of the immune, Sleeping like a fat racoon - diabetic on [...]

Equalize your cheese
Having now viewed disk 1 of season 1 of Land of the Lost, I truly realize that it’s important to equalize your cheese. If your content is cheesy, your introduction to it should be as well.
The modern, relatively slick, DVD menus — while not extreme — are overdone and only generate a let down [...]

Reproducing your childhood
The persistence and availability of media creates interesting challenges for today’s parent. Yes, you’ve got to ask interesting questions about yourself, your parenting style and your goals for your children when you find yourself considering adding the entire first season of Land of the Lost to your NetFlix queue.
Such is the position I found [...]

Man, Elvis is cool!
Elvis is so drippingly cool that I really found myself enjoying the superficially catastrophic pairing of his archive footage with Celine Dion on American Idol last night. Wow.

iGrill
OK, the iGrill is one of the funniest new products I’ve seen in quite a while. It’s an iPod-ready George Foreman grill with built in speakers and USB connection.

Free acoustic guitar ringtones
I’ve intended to do this for a while, but tonight I actual sat down for a few minutes and did it. Here for your listening pleasure, are a couple of quickie acoustic guitar ringtones. I gated them down and mixed them for looping. They probably don’t sound spectacular on a good speaker, [...]

My year in music, 2006
The biggest and best things in my musical life this year are more about the distribution channel than the music. The first is eMusic, the second Pandora.
If you are a regular music consumer, ie, not a casual listener, but a person who regularly explores and purchases music, you need to get an eMusic account [...]
