ELSEWHERE

Recently I've seen a few things on the web that I'd like to point out...

In 2003 Otis Fodder headed up the 365 Day Project, an online phenomenon during which one oddball MP3 was shared each day for an entire year. During its run I greatly enjoyed blasting my brain each morning with a new audio oddity, and many tracks have found their way into my regular itunes rotation. If you'd like to hear Pat Boone sing the praises of Amway, or the most haunting rendition of Hotel California ever performed by a high school pep band, or the greatest call-in movie showtime recording ever made then I invite you to peruse the archives.

Anyway, I mention it now because there's a brand new 365 Days Project for 2007 and this time it's happening on the WFMU blog. Ah, the wonders that await.


It's also come to my attention that the Drive-In Exchange is offering a new collection of drive-in theater intermission reels on DVD. The content is said to be very close to the Something Weird collection of the same nature (which I have practically worn out), but they've gone out of their way to organize the clips better, to lessen the video compression, and there's no onscreen i.d. "bug." There are twelve hours worth of countdown clocks, PSAs, snack bar advertisements and more. This stuff soothes my soul and I'm really looking forward to the upgrade. (If you already have this new set I'd love to hear what you think about it. Leave a comment or write me at kirkd [at] centurytel [dot] net.)


Finally, about a month ago X-Y-Z Cosmonaut posted a pile of downloadable comic book series that cover most of the weakest comic book/toy line crossovers of the 1980s.
Have a look HERE and HERE. Seeing these titles almost makes me glad that all of today's toys are based on movies...
