(“O Tannenbaum,” Vince Guaraldi Trio)
So I’m getting more brazen in my attempts to post photographic “art” on this Webbed log. I don’t consider myself an “artist” or “photographer” by any stretch; I have no formal training in either nor do I really know how to operate a camera beyond [...]

“Stop,” Jane’s Addiction
Stoplights.
Just the mere mention of the word sends my upper lip into a involuntary sneer. I *hate* having to stop for red lights. It’s become something of an inside joke with my family, as I tend to get the booty end of the stoplight stick no matter [...]

“Outshined,” Soundgarden
In a few days, I leave for a week in Minnesota. Mrs. Communist’s oldest younger cousin is getting married, and her dad is springing for accommodations.
It would be ungracious to turn down such an offer, so we accepted. It’s the drive up there that I’m not looking forward [...]

For lack of anything else to post, it’s time for another thematic playlist post, this time in honor of the Halloween. Press play on the little player to listen and right-click on the song title to steal download. [...]
Jimmy Baseball joins the Douche Crew
I suppose I should be happy that a beloved former Cardinal found work again, but in that uniform? Why don’t you run over my dog in your Ferrari while you’re at it, Jim?
And what are Cubs fans to do now that the man they loved to hate is on their team? Will they now cheer [...]
AllMusic has excellent taste
So I was doing a little research just now, trying to find some album artwork, when my travels took me to AllMusic. Imagine my surprise to see its Album of the Day:
The Brand New Heavies‘ “Heavy Rhyme Experience, Vol. 1″ is the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup of music: Two great tastes (rappers and a live [...]
Music from head to toe, part 3
Part 1
Part 2
Before we begin with Part 3, I’d like to include one song meant for Part 2 that I totally spaced. I had a “wrist” song and a “finger” song but totally forgot the “hand” song. So here is…
“Hand in Your Head,” Money Mark – Perhaps best known for his work with the Beastie [...]
