Something Shiny

I’m a big fan of the Netflix recommendation engine, and Amazon does a decent job as well, but sometimes I’m looking for something new/different and I just want to poke around somewhere w/o a retail agenda. Taste Kid seems to be an interesting way to get some recommendations based on media you like (music, movies, and books). I highly recommend checking it out.

Everyday is Halloween (but mainly it’s today). Enjoy a montage of classic scary movie clips to Ministry’s Everyday is Halloween off of their Twelve Inch Singles (1981-1984) album.

Happy Halloween! Guess I’m going to have to find a new theme for the blog now. Crap. I see turkeys in the immediate future.

An oldie but goodie…

Remember when MTV was MUSIC TV? No, well, shut up and get of my lawn you stupid kids… Ahem… Anyway, MTV is now streaming a ton of real videos. No sketchy YouTube quality weird homebrew versions of videos someone made in their parents’ basement. Check out mtvmusic.com now and relive the glory days of music videos.

So, as I add additional Halloween themed tunes, I’m building a streamable playlist on Lala.com. As the list grows, so should this handy-dandy little widget. I’ll remind you about it toward the end of the week and try to get the playtime up to 60-90 minutes in case you’d like to use if for your holiday festivities. Enjoy!
