I’m an eBay addict, and if you are too, you know it’s very easy to buy used and cheap CDs. You can even get rare and out-of-print CDs, some obscure ones go for over $100! However, often times people take advantage of the rarity of some CDs to sell unsuspecting (or, sometimes, desperate) people bootlegs. [...]

My parents are doing some yard work and needed to buy stuff at Home Depot tonight. I was supposed to stay at home and wait to bid on an eBay item 5 minutes before the auction ends, but I decided to be nice and help them lift stuff. I didn’t think it would be that [...]

From Sirius/Howard Stern via Vimeo: This Fab Faux recording of most of side two of ‘Abbey Road’ is a live, in-the-studio performance for a two-camera video shoot. It was originally recorded for The Howard Stern Show and only the audio has been broadcast – until now. Howard and company were kind enough to let us [...]

They say bitrates of MP3 shouldn’t matter after a certain point. And while I feel an unexplainable pain in my ears, I am past the age of hearing the so-called “mosquito ringtone”.

If you’re as old as me, you remember the 1990s Nickelodeon cartoon Doug. The children in the show listened to a music group “The Beets”, a hybrid of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Ramones, and The Clash. Here are some real people dressing up like The Beets and singing to their songs “I Need [...]

These quizzes have been around for ages, but I haven’t been to BBSpot since way before xcopfly.com came into existence. So I took a bunch of these quizzes again.     Which OS are You?     Which File Extension are You?     How White and Nerdy Are You?     Which Caffeinated Beverage [...]

There’s a song I like to listen to called “Please” by Nine Inch Nails. The chorus comes in with a sharp buzz (including his screechy voice), like a surge of electricity. Every time I hear it, I can feel that I’m inhaling my second wind on a day in high school when I was heavily [...]
