Check out the trailer for my buddy Jon’s movie, The Wackness, due out in July. With some luck, Karen and I might be able to catch a screening prior to the official release, in which case we’ll report back and tell you all to go see it.

North Slope Oscar Potluck

Date February 25, 2008

With each passing year, our annual Oscar party becomes less about the movies and more about the competitive nature of our friends, particularly when it comes to making food. This year we tasked our friends with bringing a dish inspired by one of the Oscar nominees. The following are some of the entries:

Juno’s SunnyD from […]

Radiohead’s Scotch_Mist - live New Year’s Eve show on CurrentTV

Date January 1, 2008

For those that weren’t able to catch/Tivo Current’s New Year’s Eve broadcast of Radiohead playing through In Rainbows, I highly recommend you do, particularly if you’re at all interested in seeing how they do what they do. Not only a great window into how they perform but the video also has a bunch of great […]

Manlio is in town? Let’s go ride some bulls!

Date December 30, 2007

Friday night Manlio was in NYC so we grabbed some dinner with him before heading into town. In the cab ride, he mentioned a bar that Dennis had recommend. This bar, he said, had a mechanical bull. That was all he needed to say before Alex and I were requesting the location and directing the […]

TOAD: Dec. 19th, 2007 - I bring my Medisterkaker to Scandinavian Christmas

Date December 22, 2007

TOAD: Dec 19th, 2007: Every year Karen’s family celebrates Scandinavian Christmas and I am surrounded by all things grey and fishy. Last year I decided that I would stop complaining and step it up by making something Scandinavianof my own that I could get excited about.

What do Bon Jovi, Aphex Twin, Nine Inch Nails, Run DMC, Aerosmith, Beck, Cypress Hill and Genesis have in common?

Date December 6, 2007

Absolutely nothing but the Kleptones make them (and a slew of others) work, and they do so swimmingly, on this mix from the 2007 bestival. If you’re a fan of this kind of stuff (Z-Trip anyone?), give it a go.

Writers strike means Jack Bauer probably won’t be back till the Fall

Date November 9, 2007

The Writer’s Strike had its first big casualty yesterday when FOX announced that Day 7 of 24 is no longer going to premiere in January. Jack Bauer certainly isn’t the only one who’s going to be affected by the strike.
In the meantime, check out this College Humor take on the 1994 unaired pilot for the […]

House Party!

Date August 27, 2007

Not just any house party–a Friday Night Lights house party! Woo! Don’t worry friends, we’ve applied to host one! Hopefully y’all free on September 14th?
It’s no secret we’re insane fans of Friday Night Lights, but instead of me cheerleading on about FNL once again, I think I will hand it over to TV Squad, who […]

Training + Six-Eight Black Men

Date July 31, 2007

Since we’ve started training I have literally listened to the same mix that I made for NYE at Union Hall for every run. So lame, I know. I’m tired of it, but when I remember to make a new mix, I get too lazy to follow through. So last week I decided to download a […]
