I bought a marked-down copy of Dinosaur Jr’s Without a Sound CD yesterday. I just looked at the receipt, and, rather than the title, it’s listed as “OFFBEAT GENERIC CD”. Weird. It’s like a little three-word record review. If I bought the new Madonna CD, would it show as “BORING MAINSTREAM TRASH”?
Singing Detective
The Singing Detective is out on DVD now. I remember watching this on PBS years ago. It’s great. The movie version will probably stink, though. Mel Gibson? Robert Downey Jr? Can’t be good.
SDCC
This guy has a nice page up on the San Diego Comic Con.
comics page
I just recently noticed that the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a really good comics page.
Wallace and Gromit
Wallace and Gromit sell Japanese pudding.
ACLU
A friend pointed me to this page at the ACLU site. Some great cartoons there, along with some really stupid ones. But, hey, that’s America.

WNEW Cutting Talk Format to Focus on Free-Form Music
This would be really good news, if their “Free-Form” format was really free-form. They mention Michelle Branch, the Dixie Chicks and Etta James, but if they were really free-form, they’d be playing Squirrel Bait, Fugazi, Jimmy Scott, and Etta James. Or something like that. Oh, and their logo is pink. That’s a bad sign. Maybe eventually they’ll find their way back to being a good radio station. Well, that’s my rant for the day. Hope you enjoyed it.

If you want to see something weird, go to http://www.cineclickasia.com/ and watch the trailer for Bet On My Disco. Boy, those Koreans can sure make some wacky movies.
