Yes, I would buy a generic metal album, if the vocals (and narration?) were done by Christopher Lee. I find it quite warming to see yet another affirmation that (and I mean this in the most inclusive and positive sense possible) Lee is just a big ol’ geek.

The Unholy Tab Closing
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010OK, my open tab situation has got to the point where I was forced to research new Firefox plugins. I might talk about that soon, since that old “favourite plugins” post is waaaay out of date, and due for an updating. Right now, though, I want to run through a bunch of these things, attaching [...]
“Without music life would be a mistake”
Sunday, February 14th, 2010(photo credit: www.iliaphotography.com)
In the weeks (well, at this point I guess I could say “months” although it doesn’t feel like it) that I’ve been back in Ontario, I’ve had a number of encounters with things that were once regular parts of my life before my near-decade out East, and some have been shocking and jarring, [...]
More music from the archives…
Thursday, January 28th, 2010It’s been a couple of months now since I finished the pre-move project of ripping all the CDs that hadn’t yet made it into digital form. I’ve been slowly cleaning up the metadata on them and moving them into the main collection, and then doing a lot of listening to things I haven’t listened to [...]
What’s a “bricht chaulmer”?
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010Since moving to Ontario, I’ve been buying my comics at The Beguiling. This, obviously, means that from time to time I have to take a run into Toronto to actually, you know, pick up the comics. So far I’ve managed to work these trips either into other shopping outings I’m taking to the city, or [...]
A flurry of quick things
Sunday, January 24th, 2010Am I the only one uncomfortable with “too difficult to prosecute but too dangerous to release” apparently being a legit category? Doesn’t that pretty much read as “we can’t prove you did shit, but we’re going to keep you in jail anyway”? I officially call bullshit on that. Of course it should come as no [...]
A Happy New Year present from Eric Kleptone
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010Yes, that’s right, a new Kleptones album was made available yesterday as a New Year’s present for us all. I’ve been a fan since A Night At The Hip-Hopera (and have mentioned The Kleptones several times here over the years) so you can imagine that this is very welcome news to me.
Having listened to the [...]
CD Ripping: Done
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009I have finished1 the ridiculous project of ripping all my previously unripped CDs before the move. This has resulted in the addition of exactly 9175 new MP3 files to the collection–a bump of about 1/3 in the overall size. That seems like a lot.
In celebration of that seemingly endless effort being completed allow me to [...]
Why Old Men Cry At Night
Friday, October 16th, 2009Tom Wilson, doing one of the songs from the Lee Harvey Osmond project. ’nuff said.
Friday Night Links
Friday, October 9th, 2009Collected from here and there about the networks, for your amusement or edification,
I would really like to believe the story of Denny & Peach is a vignette that accurately captures a bit of the wonder of the world. But even if it’s a fiction, it’s a lovely little one. Also, SWORD CANE!
Same thing with this [...]
A Reflection On Pleasant Punk Blasphemy
Monday, September 21st, 2009As part of the process of getting ready for our impending move, I’ve been engaged in a process of ripping all my audio CDs that hadn’t previously been ripped. This keeps leading to my having that “Oh, I haven’t though about you in a while” experience.
I had that recently with Crass.
Since I was single-digits old [...]
Quaero mihi similes, et adiungor pravis.
Friday, September 18th, 2009I spent a lot of time last night looking at translations of Latin and Middle High German poetry. Oh, and listening to what I can only refer to as operatic renditions of the pieces.
How did this happen? Well, actually, like many times when I start following a trail of weird connections, it all comes back [...]
Book Porn
Thursday, August 13th, 2009Yesterday was a marvelous mail day at the McLaren household. Through a confluence of mail karma–or possibly because our mailman seems to be skipping a day whenever he gets bored with the route–I had several books arrive from several different publishers. This will consequently be one long post full of book porn. If you’re not [...]
Female Music
Monday, July 6th, 2009It’s been a little while since I did a music post, so let’s do a bigger than usual one, with nine tunes instead of my normal five.
Tonight’s theme is pretty broad: music from some awesome female artists. I’m not going to try to narrow it more than that–it’s some good stuff, and hopefully there’ll be [...]
Wednesday Night Rips
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009You know what happens to me all the damn time? I realize I need to listen to a specific song right now, and then I realize that I haven’t actually ripped that CD yet. (I’ve got a lot of CDs, and I’ve only ripped around a thousand of them.) I could, theoretically, go find the [...]
