Help me update my blogroll.

As Tom Brei­han wrote in his return post on Dip Dip Dive, my blogroll is also in seri­ous need of an update. I’ve got a few ideas for what I want to put in there, but let me know about your favorite blogs. I’m sub­scrib­ing to more all the time and I’ve got­ten to know a lot of great, fun­ny writ­ers this way. Whether your rec­om­mend­ing a friend or just say­ing hel­lo, I’m curi­ous to hear about what you’re read­ing and why.

We’ll do it live!

It’s the all new, trans­form­ing Black­mail Is My Life, brought to you by Click­Pop­Me­dia. Expect to see more tweaks as Chris imag­ines them. I hope you like it.

(I’m sure I’m alone in this, but the lat­est ver­sion of Word­Press is a daz­zling CMS.)

New Primal Scream Video — “Can’t Go Back”

They should take their own advice. You real­ly can’t go back. I will col­lect my thoughts on my dear­ly beloved, yet woe­ful­ly mis­guid­ed Pri­mal Scream as well as Spir­i­tu­al­ized after I see them at the TLA this Tues­day. I think I’m swim­ming in full-blown ’90’s nos­tal­gia at this point.

Any­one else lov­ing the reis­sued edi­tion of Mud­honey’s Super­fuzz Big­muff as much as I am?

How FriendFeed Fails

I was prais­ing Friend­Feed a short month ago in these very pages, but I’ve come to real­ize that what Friend­Feed will nev­er replace Twit­ter and its ilk as long as it remains a most­ly pas­sive inter­face. Sure, it’s a great way to keep track of what’s hap­pen­ing with your friends as they use social media, but most of them don’t reg­u­lar­ly vis­it Friend­Feed to keep track of the con­ver­sa­tions that start there. Unless Friend­Feed can reverse the infos­tream and become a con­tent source, it’s des­tined to remain a repos­i­to­ry for the flot­sam and jet­sam of the infostream.
