(Template Tampering)

I've done some messing with the template/layout of this blog, after almost 3 years. It looks most content things should still be here.

NY Times on soul music

Ann Powers on album length rock music. While discussing the new albums by Fall Out Boy, Bloc Party and Arcade Fire, a bit too much credit to a certain Jack White maybe:
"The last rock album that felt like it might actually change something was probably "White Blood Cells" by the White Stripes — which came out in 2001. ... As usual, Jack White is on the cutting edge: Last year the White Stripes leader released an album with his new band the Raconteurs, but it wasn't a big deal. More like a casual jaunt suitable for a time when big statements just don't work."

Michael Chabon's chapter 2.
As expected, no mp3 of this chapter.

Happy New Year

Here's a video clip from animated Knuffle Bunny.

Perhaps I'll figure out the new blogger sometime in 2007.

Beppo blogged

So now there is a blogger feature for putting photos directly into posts. I am going to try to put the entirety of Beppo up this way. But it is taking time and not always uploading nicely. (Edit: OK, it seems to now work,)

(Edit:) You, the reader, should be able to scroll from top to bottom to see all the pages in order.

now i'm on google!

A google search for blucarbnpinwheel actually comes up with this page!

Also some links to blogsnow, which i think is some kind of automated thing that monitors blogs. And some guy linked to my comments about the pixies back in November. Who knew?

A note about the Chicago postings

The chicago postings (below) were not real time postings, but a recap. (In case anyone wondered how days passed in a matter of hours.)

Comments

Now readers can add comments. I thought this was enabled, but apparently it was not. Be so kind as to leave a name, and contact information if you would like a response other than on this page.
