Movies are supposed to be good.
Let’s face one very serious fact: YouTube has independent video creators in pretty much a stranglehold. But while they’re the biggest game in town, there are a few scrappy competitors. I’m currently working on trying out a few of them, starting with Vanillo. You can check out my channel there where I’m slowly moving over…
The answers to last week’s 10 have been posted up, both in the original post and in this convenient YouTube playlist! Among the songs was “The Rainbow Connection,” and in a rarity for me it was not the Muppet performance — but a cover recorded by the Redheaded Stranger Willie Nelson. Now it’s time for…
Every Friday I set my music player to shuffle and list off lyrics from the first ten songs that pop up — then it’s up you you, dear reader, to get into the comments and identify the artists and song titles. Last week, John walked away with two songs and eight went unidentified. The answers…
All of the answers have been posted for the last Friday 10 (which was actually 2 weeks ago — whoops!), so you can check them out to see what the 9 that weren’t guessed were! The one that was guessed was identified by John — R.E.M.’s “Stand.” For those who haven’t played before the idea…

Last week’s answers are posted, and it was a complete stumper. Not a single lyric was identified! Some of these were big hits, as well, including singles from three different women who at different times have been called “The biggest artist in the world”: Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, and Mariah Carey. “Texas Hold ‘Em” came from…
It’s Letterboxd Friday, which I’ve missed for a few weeks! So let’s take a look at my last four watched movies and see if I have anything to say about them. Stereo (Tile 3B of a CAEE Educational Mosaic) David Cronenberg’s first feature film is a fascinating artifact. According to Cronenberg, he wasn’t really concerned…
