Thank You, Mister Williams

Saul Williams wants you to have his new album. For free. Or for five dollars. Your choice. The album, entitled The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!, is produced by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins). As this is Saul’s first official release since his self-titled second album, I’ve

Not To Mention The Trees

As Rusty has pointed out, Atlanta has yet another new slogan. Forget all that “Opening Day” nonsense and start ordering your “City Lights, Southern Lights” commemorative koozies.

Wayback Machine – Destination: 2002

Yesterday, my iPod and my iTunes had a fight. All of the gory details are detailed elsewhere. In the end, I reinstalled iTunes, reformated my iPod and as of this morning, all is well. I’ve much fewer songs on my iPod, only the tracks I really wanted to have today, but the rest of the

Nikki doesn’t believe me when I tell her, often looking at me like I’m just being silly and/or sentimental, but
