I've always liked pizzas with the sauce on top. Sometimes they call it "Sicilian style" and other times it's just a way to be different. Pizza Hut seems to be in its final death spiral as the national pizza chain that just can't get their shit together. With this new "Detroit Style" pizza, they are attempting to boost sales. It worked, because I bought…
This is one of my favorite holidays, because it's just the most absurd thing ever. Some chonker animal wakes up and predicts the weather for the next few months? Give me a break. What I like more than the holiday, though, is the movie, Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray. It is such a classic that is both funny and heartwarming. At times, it is…
Nine Inch Nails have been a huge love of mine since I was a wee lad. There was something about the sound and the destructive properties that really resonated with an idiot boy who knew not what to do with himself. This album came out when I was 18 years old and I remember listening to it on repeat. I was in love with…
Back in 2002, Neon Golden came out and was a refreshing indie electronic album no one was expecting. I haven't listened to much of The Notwist since then, but this new album Vertigo Days is a another nice "where did this come from?" album. What I really like about it is that it has a strong chill vibe that just seems to go on…
The year was 1999 and I was watching Much Music on DirecTV satellite dish. (Much Music was the Canadian equivalent to MTV.) There was a music video of 4 dudes being chased by insane school children. I was hooked, because "Load Me Up" is a great song. Shortly after seeing the music video, I went on the old Napster or Kazaa (whatever MP3 download…
Reality is real, yo! The story follows VR game designer Allegra Geller (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and security guard Ted Pikul (Jude Law) as they evade an extremist element that wants to attack and destroy the game designer and her game system. On the run, they must fix the game system and go into the game to find out more about what is going on.…
This movie came out a few months after The Matrix and while there are obvious parallels, it is a different kind of sci-fi movie. The basic premise goes like this: the inventor of a new VR simulation system is murdered and his friend/colleague must unravel the mystery of who killed him and why. The movie does a good job of mixing sci-fi, noir, and…
On the Kazoo 2: The Rescue Settings screen, you have the option to change the difficulty settings on the left. You also see the explanation of the keyboard controls on the right. You can also use a game controller as the button mappings are standard for games of this kind. The difficulty settings break down like this: Am I Getting Paid For This? The…
This album came out when I was 12 and I listened to it a lot. I even copied it to a cassette tape for my friend and my friend's dad got mad at me for violating copyright laws. Some things never change. What was amazing about this album is how it managed to sound so unlike U2, but retained the qualities that define U2…
I found this video on YouTube with a guy demoing a kazoo connected to a microphone and run through some effects pedals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayjmff5p0_A
