I haven’t posted an entry since July 28th. The reason for that is quite simple. I’m ridiculously fucking busy. So busy, in fact, that I’m not even doing my beloved radio show this semester.

It’s very sad, I know, but never fear loyal readers/listeners, I’ll be back next semester with a vengeance, better production, more music and, of course, more Bacon. Just because I’m not on air, however, doesn’t mean you can’t listen to the other awesome DJs.Now that the sort of housekeeping issues are taken care of, we can dive into the meat and of the blog.The Pittsburgh Penguins are the reigning Stanley Cup champions. I never get tired of saying that.They raised their Stanley Cup banner at what will be the final home opener at Pittsburgh Civic (Mellon) Arena. How unreal is Dennis Miller as a narrator? If you’ve read this blog before you’re probably well aware that is my favorite band in the whole world.

They’re going to be playing some later this year, one of which happens to be at in St. Louis on December 1st. I’m going, of course, and I’m so excited that sometimes I lose feeling in my extremities.Camera Obscura have a on their website and they posted a video of some live acoustic performances they did while on tour in France. My favorite song from the new record, is included. Really amazing stuff.

It looks like a beautiful day.Fall has finally reached Kansas and I am loving it but I know it’s only fleeting. By the end of October it’ll be winter so I’m enjoying my month of autumn while I can. Yesterday, I hooked my MacBook up to my stereo, selected the Magnetic Fields, put the nine albums of theirs I have in iTunes on shuffle and opened my windows. I suggest you do that same (or do what I did today, which was the same thing except with Camera Obscura.)Coming to you from of fame is a link to a very strange, yet quite cute website. There are probably people out there who enjoy sites like this a little too much.

I’m not one of those people. I don’t have an Asian fetish or anything but the cute poses (such as the cat-inspired ) are amusing and adorable enough to provide relief from boredom in much as the same way as my other guilty pleasure websites,. Anyway, Asian Poses is weird but cute. Just don’t get too into it, know what I mean?Speaking of weird but cute, Little Boots has a remix of Earthquake you can download.is releasing a CD tonight which I’m excited to hear.My beloved NPR has a first listen of British band which isn’t really my cup of Earl Grey but if you’re into that sort of thing you may dig it. NPR also has a concert up as well as who were on World Cafe last week. (They also have an app for iPhone, incidentally, if you’re silly enough to sign up with AT&T whose 3G deployment is pathetic, but I digress)My wonderful friend knows an author she refers to as “Augie” but whom the rest of the world refers to as.

His book, is one of the most exposed, honest, beautiful books I have ever read. Meglet was nice enough to loan me her copy (I’m mailing it back next week, Meglet, I swear) and after I finished it I immediately bought my own copy. I urge everyone to read it. Do it now.Kleinzahler was featured in an episode of with Anthony Bourdain.

(Note: at about the 1:50 mark in that video, you can see Meglet listening intently. Love it!) But seriously, read Cutty, One Rock now or I will come to your home and set fire to your pets.I saw Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, last night and it was great. It was well cast, funny and heartwarming, which sounds like a vomit-inducing romantic comedy, however, I assure you, it was well worth the price of the ticket. Andrew Wilson was wonderful as the team’s coach, Razor. If you’re interested at all in the recording industry, magazine is a good read. In the US & UK you can get subscriptions free, because the magazine is heavily supported by advertisers and they have some good articles about the recording process some of which I find interesting and some of which are so full of technical jargon that I have no idea what is going on but they also have album reviews and interviews with artists.

The Sept/Oct issue features a great article on Moby and an interesting interview with Snuff Garrett, who produced more number one hits than Phil Spector and, to my knowledge, hasn’t murdered anyone.Canadian twins have a new album and book box set. You can preorder them via the provided links.I’m going to try and cook more and post pictures of the things I cook and recipes and whatnot. This is a little ambitious, so we’ll see if I actually accomplish this. I guess I hope to be a less awesome version of with less talk about NIN and NASCAR.Regardless, I have obtained a flat iron steak and, at the urging of the aforementioned Meglet, I shall be preparing it with a red wine reduction as a sauce. Meglet suggested I serve the steak with frites but I’ll probably go with mashing the potatoes I got from the farmer’s market recently. I do love good mashed potatoes.My friend Elam suggests the following for a sauce, I figure I’ll follow his instructions to the letter because the man knows food and I rarely cook anything French.“Basically, you want to pour about 1 cup of red wine into the hot skillet after removing the big hunk o’ meat, and reduce the liquid on high heat until the result is a thick, syrupy mixture. Gently stir everything so the fond (what’s left from the meat) combines evenly with the wine.

You’ll probably end up with about 1/4 cup or a little less. You can even season it to taste with additional salt, pepper, and maybe a little garlic powder, but it’s not necessary.

I should add that it’s really important not to let the meat burn, because your reduction will then be full of nasty charred bits.”Mmmmmcharred bits.This may be my longest blog post to date, I had a lot to catch up on. I hope to be doing this more often now so they won’t be as long or scattered in scope or subject. I leave you now with one of my favorite artist, Tori Amos. Here are some random bits for you today.The new, Wait for Me is available to listen at.

Tomorrow night at 9PM CST will be performing live from Washington D.C. And, also tomorrow, the new Regina Spektor album will be available for online listening.creator Joseph Carnevale was arrested in Raleigh recently for larceny. I can only hope he has to pay for the barrels ($120 apiece) and doesn’t do any real jail time. If I were the owner of the construction company, I would have kept the barrel monster for my office.My friend Rip sent me a text message a while back that said “Mt Dew in retro cans is made with real sugarand it is delicious.” And he’s right. Is delicious.My friend Meglet sent me a link to which is cute and amusing. Something to read when you don’t have other stuff to do.

I also enjoy and is my new addiction. It shouldn’t be, but it is.Those are your bacon bits for now. This is your brain on Hogs. Author Posted on Tags,. It’s been kind of a fucked up weekquite uneven. I’ve been sick as hell, Camera Obscura’s new record My Maudlin Career started streaming a week before it’s release date on NPR.org Monday night, which was awesome.

I’ve been listening to it pretty much constantly since then. I got an e-mail today from 4AD, Camera Obscrua’s record label, that there was something amiss with the vinyl mastering so the pressings were delayed and would be shipped late. Kind of a bummer except that they e-mailed me a digital copy of the album so I actually get it early.

Nice!I probably failed a Spanish exam earlier today which sucks but I had a fairly good show though the weather was too nice and I was in too good a mood, despite failing el examen de espanol. Played some stuff of the depression playlist but I just don’t see myself doing the show now. As we approachkeep an ear out for the Uppity Women show I’ve been planning for a while.Last night: Pittsburgh 4 – Philadelphia 1.

I love the playoffs.Here’s a few things before I go.Personally, I had my son listening to The Ramones in utero and to this day he loves them, along with the Sex Pistols, the Clash, The Stray Cats and all manner of other music. He has an original pressing copy of Rocket to Russia waiting for him on his 18th birthday. I remember when he was a tiny, tiny baby and I used to hold him and dance to that album and he would fall asleep on my shoulder.And now, Velocity Girl. It’s no secret that I heart NPR. I adore just about everything about NPR except A Prairie Home Companionand even then, I still think it’d be cool to hang out with Garrison Keillor. I love Car Talk, All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, This American Life (Ira Glass is more of a stud than Steve Inskeepsorry, Steve.) Anyway, if you’ve paid any attention at all to my Facebook page, my Facebook, my or my you can’t have helped but notice that my beloved NPR is streaming my even more beloved Camera Obscura’s newest album,.

You can get a preview of the first single, on today’s at. In addition, there is some awesome stuff from Metric, John Vanderslice and PJ Harvey. There is all manner of other badass available from Metric vocalist Emily Haines. I’m sure if you do a search you can find much more fantastic stuff.

In his review for, Brian Howe called the string arrangements out of control but praised the album, writing 'it sounds more assertive and agile, with increased swing and soul, than ever before.
