It’s nice to see that Tokyo Godfathers made A.O. Scott’s Best Films of the Year list. It’s probably my favorite film of the year, although I think I first saw it in 2003.

Led Zeppelin: The Complete Studio Recordings
Only $59.90 from yourmusic.com. $116.99 from Amazon. Not available at all on iTunes. Tempting. I could toss out all my old Lep Zep cassettes, and legally own all the old albums on CD.
Local Blog
There’s a bunch of local Somerset County stuff in this guy’s blog. I never really thought to look for local blogs, but there are probably a few more out there.
Somerville Stuff
There’s some interesting historical stuff in this PDF file at the Somerville web site. Apparently, the police department used to be a beer distribution warehouse, and the fire house on Division St. has been there since 1896.
Merry Christmas
Robosapien and Fat Bastard wish you a Merry Christmas!
Robosapien
The guys at work gave me a Robosapien for Christmas. It’s pretty cool, but I haven’t taught it to kill yet.
Actually, I’d really like to teach it to behave like Bender!
Now Playing
The Promise Ring > Stop Playing Guitar
WXPN
XPN’s 885 greatest songs. There’s some interesting stuff in there, amongst the more obvious entries.
Hear N Aid
Going through some old casettes today, I happened upon my copy of Hear N Aid. Now that they’ve created a new version of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, isn’t it time for a new version of “Stars”? I’m certain it is.
