Still feeling strange tremors from my grandmother’s passing, especially today. I reported on the burial of Star Trek‘s Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, wife of creator Gene Roddenberry for Wired, which felt weird […]
Let’s be real: Barack Obama can’t change the world on his own.
What a year. My Bloody Valentine and Swervedriver returned, Juana Molina and Marnie Stern spacetracked my brain strange, the playlist goes on. Speaking of here it is. Some of the […]
I’ve been covering the smoking new iteration of Star Wars known as The Clone Wars for Wired since its first animated episode aired earlier this year. It’s far better than […]
Back on the Wired beat at last, with a heads-up on Marvel Comics’ cool new series soaked in noir. Who’s firing first? The mutants, of course.
Well, the economy did not leave my life unscathed, although I have worked hard to keep it that way. Wired decided to shutter its music blog Listening Post, which I […]
UPDATE: My pals at the Huffington Post have syndicated this entry. Hop on and post a comment, if you feel so inclined. They love the love, and so do I. […]
Click the video at right, if you want to skip my pontification. But those of you who have kept track of my spiels for Wired on Stephen Colbert’s riotous A […]
It’s nice that you finally got around to forgiving John Lennon for boasting that The Beatles were bigger than Jesus, who we admit has a birthday coming up. But you might have wanted to pick a better time than the 40th anniversary of The White Album.
How does the robot pack decide which human is cooperative and which is not? Welcome to the wonderful, dystopian world of defense pork.
from Femi Kuti to Deerhunter to Juana Molina and onward, there’s a lot of best to best.
I spent the last couple of days swimming in The Flaming Lips, interviewing front man Wayne Coyne and checking out his deranged holiday events, Christmas on Mars and March of 1,000 Skeletons.
I’m so sorry, Barack. I had to take my kid to the doctor. And just because I didn’t vote doesn’t mean you had to go and let MoveOn make an […]
My sister turned me onto Heroes during its first season, which I downloaded and dug quite nicely. It was cool to see comics on television, and superheroes stretching out their […]
It’s been bonkers around these parts, but I did get a chance to post for Wired over the weekend. Funny story. This death-mask tool of a Republican named Michelle Bachmann […]
The McCain-Palin ticket is dead in the water, sundered by its allegiance to the Bush administration’s disaster capitalism and foundering on a strategy basically designed to piss off rednecks and […]
I am hiding from the world, using Patrick McGoohan as a human shield.
LONG BEFORE DJ Shadow became an electro-hop legend, he was answering questions online from scrubs like me. Where did you get the guitar riff for “High Noon?” Who the hell was Colonel Bagshot? Do you owe David Axelrod back pay? Then he got too busy to bother.
I covered All Tomorrow’s Parties New York remotely from Los Angeles for Wired, because the My Bloody Valentine-powered package show was just that awesome. But for the last four years, […]
“I don’t know why CSI Miami likes us so much.”
What is with Stephen Colbert and Toby Keith? Why does the one invite the other on his show, when he seems to be the type of unmitigated tool Colbert makes […]
It’s been a busy weekend working for Wired. But the piece that I was most interested in didn’t get much play, so I figured I’d pimp it here as well. […]
El-P’s uncompromising poetry and stuttered beats are built only for those looking for the next level.
This desert noir soundtracker stands out for a reason. Spinning sinister tales of border-blurring folk, rock and pop, Joey Burns and John Convertino’s brainchild has mastered the the sound America […]
“We would love to drop some jams for The Hobbit,” Braithwaite cracks. “In fact, I think that Barry should do the voice for Smaug.”
