http://icebergsexparty.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Explorations of the super 70s, Nintendo memories, kung-fu movies, and songs I like. Friday, November 13, 2009. Record Review Time Machine! Elvis Costello - This Year's Model. Elvis is forever underrated. I don't care how high you rate him, still the underrating persists. This Year's Model. Check out the opening track. It's a tight little pop song, but the drummer is just going bonkers. Listen to it LOUD. Among many other feats of rhythm on This Year's Model. I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea". I quite like ...

Iceberg Sex Party: LOST is telling us to relax
http://icebergsexparty.blogspot.com/2010/05/lost-is-telling-us-to-relax.html
Explorations of the super 70s, Nintendo memories, kung-fu movies, and songs I like. Monday, May 24, 2010. LOST is telling us to relax. LOST ended last night, and hundreds (if not thousands) of analyses will soon be written and posted. Before I go ahead and read any of those (notably: Noel Murray's from the A.V. Club. Who I've been following pretty consistently but haven't read in a couple weeks) I thought I'd make some comments of my own. Majors spoilers to follow. He's aiming at Chris Tucker and. But al...

Iceberg Sex Party: Year in Review
http://icebergsexparty.blogspot.com/2011/01/year-in-review.html
Explorations of the super 70s, Nintendo memories, kung-fu movies, and songs I like. Sunday, January 2, 2011. So what did I do this year? Let's recap in a slapdash way that romanticizes minor occurences while downplaying major ones and adds a sheen of coolness to basically everything. I started 2010 watching fireworks on a couch in Kuala Lumpur, and ended it just now at a karaoke bar somewhere in the LA outskirts belting out "Alive" with two Japanese dudes I just met. Pretty solid on both counts. I'm 13/1...

Explorations of the super 70s, Nintendo memories, kung-fu movies, and songs I like. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Chinese vs Japanese / Man vs Robot. OK, first the bad news. I re-watched The Matrix: Reloaded. This movie had some cool fights in it and I like those". And to be fair, The Matrix: Reloaded. Held my complete attention while my entire blood volume was drained, filtered, and then put back into my bod on the other side. I realize that Neo is supposed to be seeing. And having Harold Perrineau being a...

Iceberg Sex Party: August 2009
http://icebergsexparty.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Explorations of the super 70s, Nintendo memories, kung-fu movies, and songs I like. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Kung-Fu Cinema: gaining momentum. A little while back I decided that I wanted to get into kung-fu movies. Straightforward enough.yet deceptively complicated, because damn there are a lot of them, released under numerous aliases and with various crappy original language and dub audio tracks. I started here. First up, 1978's Drunken Master. Iceberg Movie Rating = 46 out of 50. I feel like they...

Iceberg Sex Party: September 2009
http://icebergsexparty.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Explorations of the super 70s, Nintendo memories, kung-fu movies, and songs I like. Thursday, September 24, 2009. I was at the Fox Theater. In Oakland to see Rodrigo y Gabriela last night. If you haven't been to the (newly renovated) Fox Theater you should buy tickets post haste. It's wicked majestic like vanilla pudding should be and they get all the really great acts coming through. Seriously, step up and embrace Oakland. Here's a highlight from their first (self-titled) album:. Secondly, although I am...

Iceberg Sex Party: November 2010
http://icebergsexparty.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Explorations of the super 70s, Nintendo memories, kung-fu movies, and songs I like. Thursday, November 18, 2010. The Sweet Science (of Nintendo). As I'm learning the basics of the sweet science.a retro-nerdy thought occurred to me: Punch Out was pretty right on. 1 It's all timing. Strength is sort of overrated. I've got a decent natural amount of it because of my size, for instance, but speed and finesse and timing are really the keys to the fortress. In Punch-Out, when you "stun" a guy with a hi...Littl...

Explorations of the super 70s, Nintendo memories, kung-fu movies, and songs I like. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Thoughts on Watson: the Jeopardy robot Part III. Might not be a terrible idea. (no, watching the movie won't help). We're still good at something! Take that, machines! In case you're not a Simpsons nerd, see the classic Kent Brockman clip below. Maybe IBM's next challenge should be to develop a robot that wins Last Comic Standing. No, seriously, give it a shot, IBM. It's even OK if it ...Does ...
