• I Hate Guitar Center

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

I went in to buy strings.  Just strings.  I paid in cash.  The cashier told me that he needed my name.  Why?  For the receipt.  According to him, I can't return my strings without my name on the receipt.  I declined anyway. On the way out, I was stopped so that ...

Harvey Danger’s Farewell

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

This ruined my day: After 15 years, three albums, hundreds of shows, and far more twists and turns than we ever imagined possible, we've decided to put Harvey Danger to rest. The silver lining is that there's still a chance to see them live.  They're playing at least one farewell show in ...

Spotify Launches

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Streaming music service Spotify has launched!  Sort of.  Free accounts are invite-only, but anyone can pony up for a premium account.  In theory, anyway, since the premium sign-up page claims a lack of availability in my country. If you can get in, Spotify is worth paying for.  I've been using it ...
