Turning leftovers into “left-OH!-overs.”

December 4th, 2008 § 0

1.) Heat pan on stove until water droplets tossed on sizzle and evaporate instantly
2.) Add oil [I used "wok oil" because it's already got the ginger and garlic in it]
3.) Add some of your previously-cooked pasta
4.) Reach up and silence overly-eager smoke alarm
5.) Start trying to stir-fry it with a heat-resistant plastic spoon
6.) Add more pasta and oil as oil disappears and/or pasta is fried
7.) Serve — with whatever seasoning you like.  Me, I just nuked the leftover pasta sauce that was also in the fridge and poured it over.

PREP TIME: Two listenings to “Lolli Lolli” by Three 6 Mafia [about nine minutes].

“Ministry begins its long goodbye”

May 12th, 2008 § 0

the melancholia of this night with Ministry came from the fact that the 49-year-old Jourgensen, the only constant through the band’s nearly three-decade history, did not use his advertised farewell jaunt to take stock of his many accomplishments and musical evolutions.

- Jim DeRogatis in the Sun-Times on Thursday.  Al apparently did not lean on the classics much last weekend.

Intel Music Videos by Christopher Guest

April 23rd, 2008 § 0

I would never have clicked these if Intel hadn’t made sure to drop Christoper Guest’s name.  That said, “Everything Has Changed” is kind of a catchy little ditty, albeit not exactly “Lick my Love Pump.”

Tom Sawyer Drums on Hard

World Record for Rock Band’s Tom Sawyer Expert

 The click-clack of the Rock Band drum kit kind of give this a "Rush-remixed-by-Timbaland" sound to me.

Something Awful presents: No Limit Album Covers

Years ago, Spin Magazine commissioned Pen & Pixel, the originators of this art form, to work their collage magic on Nine Inch Nails and Jewel.  Unfortunately, Google-Fu has failed me. 

YouTube – Travis Barker Remix Soulja Boy \

Barker’s not exactly Reznor, and Soulja Boy for damn sure isn’t Biggie, but it’s always a good time when the worlds collide.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Did you ever hear of me screwing?
No, I spend my money like a man.

YouTube – Supply – After The Game Of Love

November 25th, 2007 § 0

This is one of the better DDR tournament videos I have had the opportunity to enjoy.  Things I like about it:

  • Dude wears a costume complete with white mask.
  • Dude cocks a Nintendo Zapper at the beginning of his routine.
  • Dude c-walks on the arrows, thereby risking his life should he ever DDR in certain neighborhoods.
  • Dude busts out a galloping windmill butt-slap near the end of his routine.

It’s hard to tell from the verbal cues the game gives him how well he’s hitting the arrows, but I give this clip an A for Entertainment.

EWF MGM 12/13 $$$

November 25th, 2007 § 0

Tickets for the Earth, Wind, and Fire gig christening the new MGM Grand Ballroom start at $150.  Start.  Someday maybe I will see a show in here and be blown away by its intimacy and acoustics.  Perhaps it is a regular Bourbon Tabernacle. 

I suspect this concert is pitched toward affluent fiftysomethings who were waiting for a band like EWF to play in a venue with free lighted parking and just may stop off for some Canasta on the way out.  This beats the country acts that graced the former MGMGD’s Stage Bar, but still… Victor and I saw EWF a few years ago in a park in Lansing for a fraction of this price.

But I guess that’s the way of the world.

YouTube – Sisters Of Mercy – This Corrosion

October 31st, 2007 § 1

I cranked this up on my iPod boombox when I got home tonight.  Set a spooky mood for the trick-or-treater kids, and my neighbors were all high-fiving me and stuff.  Apparently they’re down with the Eldritch.
