The Fuccons

So there's this new blog, TV In Japan.
As you can imagine, I'm hooked. One of the few regrets I have is not taping more TV when I lived there; it's truly some of the most bizzare entertainment out there.
"Oh Mikey!" is just one such example, and TV In Japan has a great posting: almost 35 minutes of video.
Prepare to be wowed!

I also urge you to visit the Blog and check out the ton of other stuff out there.

Happy Easter!

Who is this guy?

What's the matter, don't you recognize the Easter Bunny?

Maybe it would be easier if he was slugging the back of your head!

Jim Diamond's case against White Stripes to go to court

It's kind of sad that it came to this, but I actually think Jim has a point here. I've been in enough recording sessions to know how important the producer and engineer can be to the creative process, and it's no secret that the White Stripes' sound owes a whole heck of a lot to Jim's ear.
I was a big fan of one Jim Diamond's earlier bands, The Wayouts, and would give a lot to have copies of some Christmas songs he and the other Wayouts recorded one year (1988?) and played on East Lansing radio.

20 years removed from battle, knight defends honor in Joust

Today, Steve Sanders is a trial attorney from Kansas City. A middle-aged married guy with four sons. A Sunday school teacher.

When he was 18, though, he was the king of the arcade. Growing up in Clinton, Mo., Sanders held the world’s best scores in games such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. Heck, he wrote the manual on playing Donkey Kong. (You can get a used copy of The Video Master’s Guide to Donkey Kong for $25 on Amazon.com.)

His joystick skills landed him on ABC-TV’s “That’s Incredible” and the pages of Life magazine.
