Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express

At the time I started writing this review, it was Aug. 7, and I was halfway done. However, I went on vacation, leaving the review unfinished. I came back weeks after the movie had opened, and rather than going back and rewriting it to suit the present time frame, I decided to leave the review [...]

The Saga of Paul Westerberg's 49:00

Fans of Paul Westerberg got a pleasant surprise a month ago when a online-exclusive album called 49:00 popped up for sale on Amazon and Tunecore for the low low price of $.49. It was a single-track album, a mish-mash of gems, toss-offs and teasers that ended up sounding like a someone channel-surfing through some of [...]



Meticulously listing out the soundtrack to my life.

Meticulously listing out the soundtrack to my life.

Last week saw the first annual Sod Conference (patent pending), when Nate and his wife were in Bismarck (which, as was agreed to be all attendees, should henceforth be referred to either as The Biz or ‘Smark) and joined me, the admin, and infrequent blogger Kelly Hagen for drinks at the local drinking hole. Much [...]



My Correspondence with the Obama Campaign

My Correspondence with the Obama Campaign

I recently ordered some Obama ‘08 stickers… not so much for placing on my own property, but mainly to place on the property of those that despise the man (i.e. a co-worker here in my office). And while I missed the joy of seeing his face when he first noticed the sticker on his office [...]

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness

Please note that like most Pokémon games their are different versions of the same game, and although they are similar they may have slight variations such as avalible starting Pokémon and bosses.

Yes it’s that time again, Nintendo have released a new Pokémon game but this time they have mixed it up a bit. This could [...]

Nancy: American Patriot -OR- Kids All Look The Same

A recent move to a new apartment has brought me the most valuable natural resource known to modern man, that being free cable. Ever since I’ve come upon this geyser of liquid viewing pleasure I can’t seem to take my eyes off of the twenty four hour news networks. It continually astounds me that there [...]



Shutter (Thai and American)

Shutter (Thai and American)

I think that a new rule has to be passed. Some kind of rule that restricts America from leeching on to overseas cinema in order to juice tons dollars from teenagers that need only see a misty setting or a dead person to get scared, because if the makers of Meet the Spartans and Epic [...]



Nate’s “An Album (or two) for Every Year.”

By Nate • Jul 25th, 2008 • Category: General Sod, Music
Nate's

To start off, I’d like to make it very clear that this whole thing was Chris’ idea. He came to Kelly and I with it and we, being the list-making addicts that we are, accepted, not fully understanding the consequences of our acceptance.
But, to his credit, he did save the best for last. Excuse me [...]



Kelly’s “No Huey Lewis, but more Replacements than anyone can tolerate” Best Albums List

By Kelly • Jul 23rd, 2008 • Category: Music
Kelly's

Why do we list?
Is it so that favorites in music are made more neat and orderly within our disorganized mind, so that some day when we are near crippled by Alzheimer’s or dementia, we will still miraculously remember that “No Code” is far and away the best Pearl Jam album? Is it to drive steadfast [...]
