iLiKECHEESE

By raishad | Published: June 26, 2008

iLiKETRAINS is a band that plays music that is somewhere between Tindersticks and Mogwai. Just watch this video for TERRANOVA If that doesn’t scream Tindersticks + Mogwai, I don’t know what does. But that’s not a bad thing at all. I love the Tindersticks. I love Mogwai. A few days ago, I hit a nice [...]

Gany-awesome!

By raishad | Published: June 25, 2008

Are you excited? I am. Hopefully we’re excited about the same thing. Today, Eclipse Ganymede was released. Eclipse is a software platform that has an amazing plug-in system that allows it to disguise itself as a Java Development Environment. That’s how it sneaks in. “Don’t mind me, I’m just a Java IDE.” And then all [...]

Here’s a tip View Larger Map At the intersection of I-20 & Great Southwest, gas is amazingly cheap. $3.87 cheap. I’m not sure how it’s possible. But it’s been that way for the past week.

Raishad Succeeds

By raishad | Published: June 17, 2008

The Boy Detective Fails. I just finished reading it. I really enjoyed it. I started it on my flight back from Grand Rapids, and finally finished it this morning. It was recommended to me by Jackson Publick. P.S. If you’re a fan of The Venture Bros.–especially the sad and lonely parts about loss and failure–I [...]

And The Get Down

By raishad | Published: June 16, 2008

Sunday was the Rilo Kiley show. Now just to get this on the table, I’ve never listened to a Rilo Kiley album. I’ve heard maybe one song by them. So going in, I was fresh. Rilo Kiley were competent. They just didn’t do anything for me. Thao Nguyen. She had something going on. I really [...]

By raishad | Published: June 1, 2008

I’m saving Speed Racer. I did it with 30 Rock, Pushing Daisies, and I’m doing it again. I mean, Speed Racer only making 2 million this weekend is one of the most disappointing things this side of Hillary Clinton’s Primary Race. Go see Speed Racer.
