Bike

As a birthday present to myself, I’ve bought a bike. It’s a 2002 Raleigh Tarantula SE. It’s nice.

For those of you who always wondered how the creators of Homestar Runner made their livings, there’s an interview with Los Bros Chapman here. And another here, which I think I may have linked before but don’t remember.

Radiohead will be broadcasting their June 5 concert for MTV as a pay-per-view event, running on IMAX screens across Canada. And just like that, Radiohead and Wrestlemania become just that much more indistinguishable.

Fifteen Keys

This is for the hardcore geeks. Someone has already compiled a list of the names on Stryker’s computer in X2 and paired them off with their comic book references. Check it out here.

Neko Case has won the Playboy’s Sexiest Woman In Indie Rock poll. I voted for a winner!

Feel like playing video games? Of course you do. Domo-Kun Vs The Powerpuff Girls. I didn’t need a reminder that I suck at video games, but I got one anyway.

I think it was just a couple weeks ago I commented to someone how minimalist my keychain was. No longer – in the last 24 hours I’ve added a bike lock key, a bike room key and a freaking garage door opener remote control. It’s now one bulky keychain.

I have registered for Blogshares and my lil ol’ site is already worth a bling-worthy $102, yo. That means a whopping 0.0021% of the market is mine. Oh yeah.

And no, I have no idea what any of that means.

Slash Your Tires

This was my morning on the subway. Further exposition not necessary. I have got to get a bike.

I had my 6-month review at work this morning, and it went very well. I will find out soon how much of a tangible (read: monetary) benefit will result, but the praise was nice as well.

The Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips website is now up. Not much there except some pictures of the handsome couple, but there will be more soon. Curious, however, that as soon as that site went up, the Luna website went MIA. Coincidence? I think so.

Cinco de Mayo

Very little of interest to report today. No band practice, since 517 is in Montreal and Clay is working double-time to take next week off. Which is fine, cause the weather is dreadful and I didn’t much want to leave the house tonight anyway.

Sloan’s new one is scheduled for an August 5 release date.

Calla roll into the Horseshoe July 5, or thereabouts.
