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.
I think I have a new favorite blog.
Sometimes we all need a little FAIL to help us gain perspective, even when you’re having a great week (third anniversary, 31st birthday too.) I’ll have more about the Waterworks Restaurant and sundry other things later tonight.
In the meantime, enjoy this wintry madness!
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.
