Hot House 5 for the New Year
Jamie Gaughran-Perez
![]() | << El Perro Del Marr [music] A Swedish band with a Spanish name that sings quasi-girl group songs in English? Couldn’t make enough sense to me. “God Knows” may feel repetitive at first, but with eat into your brain like Khan’s earwig thingy. Give it/them a listen on their myspace. |
| Web-based Virus Scanner >> [web-ish] If you accept submissions from people and get all kinds of random crap all the time, a little virus scanning goes a long way. A friend turned me on to this web-based one, HouseCall from Trend Micro and it’s done me well. Takes quite a while to run (it’s free people), just hit go and walk away. Check it out (thanks Mr. Durst) | ![]() |
![]() | << i.e. reading series, online [poetry / web] A great new site from a great Baltimore reading series. If you are a Baltimore poetry-liker or someone who should be reading in Baltimore for the poetry-likers, you should check it out. Soon to contain more pictures, links to recordings of the readings, and more. Get on over there |
| The Wire, Season 4 >> [tv] Heard The Wire is some of the best tv ever made? If you’ve “missed it all” rollback to Season 1 and catch up. A drama parading as a cop show with equal time/love for the good and the bad on both sides of the law. Class-casting is an ever-present subtext; Season 4 introduced a group of Baltimore junior high kids. It’s like your heart got jumped. | ![]() |
![]() | << The Kattalogen [web / humor] My decompressor of the moment, poaching it for a few minutes every week or so. Funny pictures of cats, usually with added text … LOTS of ’em. Keep up with the latest development in cat-based humor. The picture shown is from my favorite subgenre … “I’m [on/in/etc.] your [object] [verb-ing] your [“related” object].” A phrasing that has been invading my own rhetoric. Git yr laff on |
