information that hopefully won't make heads spin

Korean baseball players using Cabbage as a cooling agent.

Christgau on the indie rock hits. It's nice that he doesn't feel the need to deal with things right on their release.

A Voice article about the Vashti/Animal Collective EP.

More about that raid on Kim's. I guess it's old news by now, but oh well.

The Star Maker of the Semipopular - New York TimesAbout KCRW. The article title reminds me of some Post Paint Boy lyrics. Anyway, I prefer KEXP, in terms of semipopular somewhat independent public radio to listen to on the internet.

there is now a Wonka Industrieswebsite. Here is the fancy new Johnny Depp movie website.

So the neurologist told me to drink Mountain Dew or Jolt for the caffeine, as this is supposed to help my head. How much caffeine is in various soft drinks? Jolt has about 72 mg, Mountain Dew has 55 mg, Coke has 47. I couldn't actually find Jolt anywhere and am not sure that I would want to. I don't like Mountain Dew but have had some. What is sneaky is the high caffeine count in Pepsi One according to this site.

I hope I can stop with the soda soon. I had managed to cut out the soda between January and June, so hopefully I can manage to return to that approach.
