America in 140 characters or fewer

ו' באדר ה'תש"ע (February 20, 2010) America

Last month I went to visit America for a couple weeks and I recorded the entire trip on the Twitter. Here are all my tweets, from the minute my vacation began to when I got back home. Sorry they’re in reverse order – I can’t find a tool that will export them from first to [...]

Skatalites

ט"ו בכסלו ה'תש"ע (December 2, 2009) America

I took this picture when the Skatalites came to Tel Aviv in September. I never thought they’d come to perform in Israel, so it was a special treat to see them play at the Barby. I was not so surprised that they put on a fantastic show, since I’d seen them also in New York [...]

Reggae Reviews

כ"ה באלול ה'תשס"ט (September 14, 2009) Meme

Whenever I need this site, I can never remember what it’s called, which makes perfect sense because it’s called exactly what it does:Reggae Reviews. By linking to it here, I hope that everyone I know will go to it and read through it, and then recommend it to their friends, who in turn will recommend [...]

Top 10 Best-Selling LPs

כ"ג באלול ה'תשס"ט (September 12, 2009) Music

Of the top ten best-selling records of all time, I own none (but I do own the 11th). And that’s out of about 40 gigs of music. How many do you own? Do you know anybody who owns all ten? It’s my personal opinion that these ten are crap.

Making yourself dumb

כ"ד בסיון ה'תשס"ט (June 16, 2009) America

Very much in line with my belief that everything in life looks cooler when graphed, which led me to Graph Jam, here are two of the coolest little websites I’ve seen in a long while: Books That Make You Dumb and, for people who don’t like to read, Music That Makes You Dumb. The idea [...]

Beatboxing

י"ז בסיון ה'תשס"ט (June 9, 2009) Music

I will always admire MC Squared for showing me some amazing beatboxing: But in all the years that I’ve been occasionally telling people to check out the video of him at the Apollo, I never realized even what other kinds of beatboxing were out there. Did you know that there are people who beatbox and [...]

Autotune the News #4

י"ג בסיון ה'תשס"ט (June 5, 2009) America

There was an article in Slate back in, I think, April that mentioned this guy who’s making autotuned cable news mashups and putting them on youtube. He’s awesome and his videos are hilarious, and even just bad enough (eg, fake mustache falling off) to be even funnier than if he’d had a tremendous budget. Check [...]

Some new music

י"ג באייר ה'תשס"ט (May 7, 2009) Music

Thanks to the power of Le Torrent and to the advice of some friends, I’ve obtained some new music recently. Here’s what I think of it: Asher Roth’s Asleep in the Bread Aisle and The Greenhouse Effect. Well, he’s pretty good. I say that in the sense of having a certain appreciation for hip hop [...]
