• Commented on Listen, also: low-tech shoegazers Tree Wave return with free 10 Inch EP
  Earliest version of "chip-gaze" that I was aware of came from a couple of guys who were in HUM, but did a sampler/guitar/keys project called Glifted. It sounds like a bit of a harsher version of Tree Wave and came...

• Commented on Hmm. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all.
  Many UFC fights are very entertaining, many are snooze-inducing. Something else that's very entertaining is watching/listening to self-righteous people who aren't familiar with MMA techniques talk about how it's simply a shelter league for fading or second-rate fighters. HILARIOUS. UFC...

• Commented on Swine Influenza Update from a Nurse: Virus, Panic, Precautions, and End of the World Websites.
