Wednesday, December 31, 2008 - Holding Spam; Winning contests; 3D glasses; Music for Zeppelin fans; Blurry porn

A good final day to 2008 so far. Got word from Electric Spec that they'll be holding "Spam" for voting. I'll hear on that come February. Also, I won a contest over at Getting Unstuck for a shiny copy of Entertaining with Booze. It'll make a kickass present for the girlfriend, and I, of course, get the benefit of being entertained with booze. And my computer came! Well, I wasn't home to get it, but at least I know it's here in Ottawa, so I'll have it in my grubby little hands by Friday. Yay!

On an entirely unrelated note, please enjoy this picture of me wearing 3D glasses. Apparently, watching Journey to the Center of the Earth isn't as bad as you might think (provided, of course, that you've consumed a sufficient amount of alcohol).

On the Radioblog: Today I've gone with "Tide of Tears" by The Parlor Mob, off of their excellent album, And You Were A Crow. As far as often-imitated bands go, Led Zeppelin's somewhere near the top of the list. So, it's pretty impressive when someone comes along and does a halfway decent job of it. Wolfmother managed the feat a few years ago and The Parlor Mob might be even better. "Tide of Tears" is an eight and a half minute long (so settle in if you're listening) slow burning track that has shades of Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You" in it.

Keyword of the Day: Lots of interesting choices lately, but it's hard to go with anything else when you've got "why is my porn blurry". I have no idea, but given how much 3D glasses rock, I'd recommend trying on a pair of those to see if it enhances the experience. Of course, it's all fun and games until someone takes a nipple (or worse) in the eye.
