Clawjob’s Nerdy Space Rock Opera

by Joey deVilla on June 1, 2006

By way of the MP3 blog The Catbirdseat, I found an interesting album by Clawjob called Space Crackers. It can very aptly described as an Space Rock Opera Concept Album. That may not be descriptive enough for you, but luckily the folks at The Catbirdseat have come up with this diagram that graphically explains what the album is like:

The first four tracks on the album are available for download at their site. I’ve listened to them and enjoyed the nerdy sci-fi lyrics and indie-pop chords and plan to buy the whole thing. Give it a listen!

A New Source for Saturday Night Live’s "MySpace" Skit

by Joey deVilla on June 1, 2006

YouTube got told to yank the video of the Saturday Night Live skit on MySpace that I linked to earlier, but I’ve found another site with the video. Even better: it’s on a MySpace site!


Click the picture to watch the video.

Go watch it, if only for Horatio Sanz’ perfect “creepy lisping guy” character.

The Trick to Assembling the IKEA "Expedit" Bookshelf

IKEA 'Expedit' shelf

I still get an occasional email or comment about my entry about the difficulty Wendy and I have had putting together the IKEA “Expedit” bookshelf. That was last August, and yes, the shelf has been assembled.

As we suspected, the trick is that the last phase, in which you attach the last side to the shelf, is easiest with three people, especially with the 5-by-5 model. The extra pair of hands makes all the difference; when Wendy and I recently helped my sister with three sets of Expedit shelves, the three of us put together all three in less time than it took to put together ours last year.
