Calcinator Death Ray: The Weird Al Show
http://captainwrong.blogspot.com/2010/01/weird-al-show.html
Calculate your chances.negative.negative.negative! Monday, January 11, 2010. The Weird Al Show. Sound kind of dull? Well, sad to say, it is. But, I think it's safe to say it's not the creative team's fault. It seems they envisioned something more along the lines of Pee-Wee's Playhouse, aimed at a middle school audience. CBS had other things in mind. It is exactly this behind the scenes wrangling that may have ruined the show, but makes this DVD set worth watching. Not because the show itself has impr...

Calcinator Death Ray: April 2011

Calculate your chances.negative.negative.negative! Saturday, April 16, 2011. Record Store Day Thoughts. Record Store Day is a bit of a scam. There. I said it. At the same time, there I was, lined up before opening with all the other hipsters and record collector scum, waiting to spend, spend, spend! But first, let me reel off a quote from the excellent Numero Group which kind of sums up a lot of how I feel about this retail holiday:. Speaking of worthless, how about that Beach Boys double 78rpm set?

Calculate your chances.negative.negative.negative! Friday, May 13, 2011. A Quick Blurb About the Vinyl Lovers Label. Even though they've been putting stuff out since 2008, I just discovered this Russian reissue label called Vinyl Lovers. Apparently it's a subsidary label of Lilith Records and somehow related to 4 Men With Beards. They have some sort of contract with Universal and have a pretty impressive catalog. And that's about all I know about that. Would I recommend this label? Probably not, especial...

Calculate your chances.negative.negative.negative! Sunday, April 19, 2009. Yuki Show Diary: 4/18/09 Luna Music. We got asked to play Record Store Day at Luna Music. They've been pretty good supporters of us, so it was kind of a no brainier. Of course, playing at 2 pm on a Saturday afternoon was kind of early for us, but we were helped by beautiful weather and people were out and about in good numbers. Photo by Jen Hughes).

Calcinator Death Ray: November 2008
http://captainwrong.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Calculate your chances.negative.negative.negative! Tuesday, November 18, 2008. Review: I Got The Feelin': James Brown in the 60s. Finally got this three DVD set the other day. Over the course of two nights, I watched the whole thing, and there's a lot here to digest. Unfortunately, there isn't much of the 60s covered and the title is a bit of a misnomer. But what's here is pretty essential for serious James Brown fans. At first, the city leaders considered canceling the show to keep people off the street...

Calculate your chances.negative.negative.negative! Monday, March 30, 2009. I've been meaning to get to this forever, but keep forgetting, so here it is now. First off, I'd like to recommend you check out Jeff Rothe's blog. For awesome stuff about golden age arcade games. It's become one of my favorite sources for information on restoring and history of machines of the pre-crash era. Also, I'd recommend you check out my friend and the keyboard player/singer in Yuki Gwynn's blog Cult of Domesticity. I'd go...

Calcinator Death Ray: June 2009

Calculate your chances.negative.negative.negative! Friday, June 05, 2009. EMusic, SonyBMG and how not to roll out a service change. Those of you who have followed this blog for a while know I've been a huge fan of eMusic. The service, for those who don't know, is a subscription based music service that offers very low rates and a fiercely independent catalog. Earlier this week, eMusic causally announced changes to both of these core features. Fills in some gaps. Most importantly are the rate changes, whi...

I'm sure you've heard by now, but the iTunes Music Store is finally going all DRM free with higher bitrates and variable pricing. As always the case, there's good and bad here, though for me I'm seeing more bad and indifferent than good. Now, like last time, Apple is making the option to "upgrade" your old iTunes purchases that are now iTunes Plus.for a fee. That fee is 30 cents a track....Let's loo...

Calculate your chances.negative.negative.negative! Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Record Store Day 2014 Wrap-up Part 1. I'm Rob G. And I'm back from the dead. Has it really been three years? Well, whadda know? Leading off is Nothing New by Gil Scott-Heron. From 1968, we have Sun Ra's Outer Spaceways Incorporated. Get On Down has become one of my favorite reissue labels, but this year their RSD pickins were kind of slim. Food For Thought. By The J.B.s. Is uneven as most James Brown related LPs are, but there ...
