Come Out and Play...

Come Out And Play (Offspring) The Moog Cookbook So, the introduction of the Wii Fit was the impetus for our purchase of a Nintendo Wii. We'd hoped to have it for a fun, regular workout during the summer months. Such a device is a perfect fo...

Apocalyptic Puppet

nobody@vox.com(Andy R.) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 23:34:48 -0800

...er, giant marionette. Anyone, even you right now, would know with a simple scroll down, my affection for Blossom Dearie. Her playful piano chops, peculiar phrasing and (sometimes comic) timing all do it for me. Forget those other slip-sliding ...

This happiness goes out to my favorite country music-loving pirate. Born To Be Wild Petty Booka ~ Fujiayama Mama Really, what can I say besides, "You're welcome!"

Earworm eradicated

nobody@vox.com(Andy R.) — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 08:05:40 -0800

Well, at least it is displaced. At least until next karaoke night. Tuning up the livery has embedded mechanical sounds in my diagnostic ears, and I couldn't be happier. Does this valve need a shim? Is the belt tension too tight on the generator?...

Halloween Hangover

nobody@vox.com(Andy R.) — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 19:02:56 -0700

No, I don't have one. I did, it would likely sound like this: It's Halloween The Shaggs ~ Philosophy of the World One of the most hideous and ghastly executions ever recorded. By execution, I mean the quick and writhing death of pitch and rhyth...

The Hawk Has Landed

nobody@vox.com(Andy R.) — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 22:31:56 -0700

No, this isn't a cryptic metaphor. Literally, the Hawk has landed in SF. The Studebaker Hawk. I commented on an earlier post [Vox Hunt: First Set of Wheels] that there was another. This is it. Too Good To Talk About Now Blossom Dearie ~ My Gen...

Rat Rod DeLuxe

nobody@vox.com(Andy R.) — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 13:42:58 -0700

Here's a suh-wheet video by the Sadies, animating great caricatures of the band with "Rat Fink" and other hot rod monsters from customizer/artist, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. It's like GorillaZ on homemade hooch - Friggin' RAD!! The Horseshoe The Sadie...

...That's The Better Way!

nobody@vox.com(Andy R.) — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 00:13:39 -0700

Such is the refrain in nearly every line of this song. I had an initial aversion to posting this song title. Then I recalled that this pejorative was largely the domain of middle school (at least in the 70s) among kids who didn't know sex from a k...

$20 Streetlight Challenge pt.2

nobody@vox.com(Andy R.) — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 16:56:14 -0700

I wrote before about the Streetlight $20 Challenge by the Young Ones (self-described as 2 hookers and a blow job queen). I added another 3 albums and I'm still above the $10 mark. The first purchase, clocking in at $3.95 is a CD release by X, wi...
