Do you ever have a day when you are browsing the web and you feel like there's nothing on?

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

A friend lent me this record the other day, it's fun!

Haha, I totally remember that record. I don't think I ever actually heard it, but it sounded like a cool premise.

I hate those fucking ads on MySpace that show an animated person on their computer, typing, laughing, etc. They're creepy.

One of my college housemates had a Groovebox. I got really pissed at it at first but then had a good time making beats.

I don't know why I did that. Sorry.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan will explain. He owns that domain.

I hope the Beck track on there ('Boyz') got played in some gay clubs.

It would be fun to have a Groovebox party with a couple people making real-time dance music on it (or maybe that would be asking too much, I've never fucked around with one).

― Jordan, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Why do I have to explain a joke from a party that only a few people here were at?

It'd be a little difficult to make real-time music on a Groovebox. You'd have to be really good and organized to get it done.

― dan m, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe an Acid or Garage Band party would be better? I haven't used those either.

I also found out yesterday that a small studio in town here did most of the sounds/loops for GB, at least the first few 'jam packs'.

Eric, what did you think of the Honey in the production we saw? I liked her.

I was distracted by her accent at first (or maybe it was the amplification), but she was good once she was helpless and drunk. I wonder if those moments work better onstage, just because the audience is in the same room with this person (someone we've all been or seen at a party) instead of seeing them onscreen.

Jody Nueva uses Blockbuster and it seems fast, plus she can get a few free store rentals per month, so if she doesn't want to wait a day for something she can go to the store and get it.

I've totally gone to Specialty Video when I want something NOW.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I've got a dentitst appointment. I don't want to go.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, the hell if I was going to wait four days for more Wire (Sunday, my dvds to ship back on Monday, get sent out on Tuesday, and arrive on Wednesday).

I hadn't been to Hollywood Video in forever and forgot about their weird late fee policy.

Video Woman: You've got 18 bucks in late fees. Do you want to pay that now?
Me: Um, not especially?
VW: Okay. Do you want to pay some of it?
Me: Sure, how much do I need to pay?
VW: Whatever you want.
Me: How about...zero?
VW: How about a couple dollars?
Me: Sweet.

And now I won't go back there for another six months.

I have a membership to the Hollywood Video up by the Howard stop, because it was the only video store I could find that had Mariah Carey's Glitter. Fuck if I'm driving all the way up there, though.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I picked a girl up in Hollywood Video once, only to find out on the first date that she was obsessed with Bono. Nope.

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

...and that's my Hollywood Video story.

aw, John. love.

Well, to be fair, I needed it for an article I was working on, but that movie is also better than its reputation.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

why don't i believe you?

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Because you don't have a soft spot for mid-1980s Jam and Lewis R&B?

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

If Marshall Mathers’ Slim Shady offended you in 2000, consider his unmitigated boringness as “Rabbit” in 2002.

You leave Rabbit out of this.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

It's totally not clear, but Alfred Soto wrote that intro paragraph, not me.

Also, I basically wrote that article as an excuse to call the 50 Cent movie a "bling-dungsroman."

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link

But Rabbit Angstrom > Rabbit Smith.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Jury's still out on former major-leaguer Rabbit Maranville.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

bling-dungsroman

Nice!

I think Crossroads and 8 Mile would be a swell double feature.

― Eazy, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Because you don't have a soft spot for mid-1980s Jam and Lewis R&B?

I have all this soft spots.

― Jordan, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Crossroads with Ralph Maccio?

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Rabbit Angstrom reminds me of a peeve I have against characters with allegorical last names: Loman, Calloway...

Crossroads with Britney! Though Crossroads plus Crossroads could work, too.

― Eazy, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, I have this soft spots, too!!! does that mean I need to see this movie?

― horseshoe, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes!

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Quick, someone name me the connection between o.g. Crossroads and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey!

― Jordan, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

face-melting solo leads

― dan m, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Glitter is set in like 1984, which I thought was an interesting choice, since it's several years before the real Mariah first made it big. Assuming Mariah had some creative input in the script, I think she liked the idea of setting it within the musical landscape that existed when she was 14 and probably sang along to the radio with a hairbrush in her bedroom.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Like, there's totally a scene where she plays around with a then-newfangled DX-7 synthesizer.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

face-melting solo leads

...played by Steve Vai!

― Jordan, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Damn, and I considered saying that after cheating and peeking at the IMDB pages, but I only saw his name on the list for Crossroads.

I watched Mildred Pierce with Julia this weekend. I'd seen it before, a long time ago, and remembered thinking it was good. Boy was I wrong. What a nonsensical movie.

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

After the first disc of The O.C., I was all "meh," but the last couple episodes of Disc 2 have been choice. Summer was so bitchy at first, I couldn't stand her, but now she's really growing on me, esp. in her interactions with Seth. Also, it's interesting to me how much the show is about money, and not just as subtext: it's actively discussed all the time.

Your search - "mother teresa's eyebrows" - did not match any documents.

Ok, so let's say you're at zero with your car stereo, as in, you don't have one, but there is a plug or two sticking out. Does anyone have any clue how you could rig an ipod hookup in there to play through the car speakers?

― KitCat, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think we can, Sarah, you need something in between to amplify the signal.

― n/a, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I think the cheapest thing would actually be to buy an old tape deck car stereo from a pawn shop and use the cassette tape adaptor for the ipod.

― n/a, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

That's what I use.
