What is your browser's default home page set to? Submitted by Kelev T. Cat. Of course I wrote a web accessable script that randomly rolls through a preconfigured list of sites weighted for how often I want to see them and immeditatly redirects t...

QotD: In Heavy Rotation

nobody@vox.com(jjames) — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 09:18:49 -0700

What albums are in heavy rotation for you right now? This only serves to reinforce my impression that Vox is following me around, that it knows my thoughts and desires and puts them into action before even I know what it is I'm thinking or wanti...

QotD: Check the Mailbox!

nobody@vox.com(jjames) — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 09:40:50 -0700

What magazines do you subscribe to, and why? TapeOp because it makes me feel less-inadequate about low budget recording. Because it attempts to distill all the vinegar from the varied and profound experiences of those greatest minds of cre...

QotD: Hello, Cleveland!

If you had a band, what would you call yourselves? Question submitted by Zoot. Well, I had a band called "Shadowplay" (2 members) for some time, performing in Gainesville, FL. After moving to LA we called ourselves "Air Traffic Control" (3 membe...

Kaki King feels red

nobody@vox.com(jjames) — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 09:50:43 -0700

Kaki King sent me a "personal" message today informing me of her new album "...Until We Felt Red". The only way to preview the songs in full is to install ActiveX to which I am morally opposed. I will find it on lunch and hear it properly (that...

Maybe Sparrow

nobody@vox.com(jjames) — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 09:59:37 -0700

I didn't know Neko Case had her turn on Letterman. Here is the evidence. I generally don't like these small stage late-night tv performances. The environment is always too sterile to get any live energy while still allowing the fragile live ...

QotD: Desktop Show and Tell

nobody@vox.com(jjames) — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 08:59:59 -0700

What is your current computer desktop image? Let's see it! If I remember correctly, I saw the original (or a well framed print) at a gallery in L.A. I should have bought it.

QotD: Your fantasy restaurant

nobody@vox.com(jjames) — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 16:45:16 -0700

If you could open any sort of restaurant, what would it be like? Everyone already has so many good answers for this question. I feel like all my good ideas have already been taken so.. I'm going to go with my bad ideas. Picture this: Dimly lit ...

Musical space

nobody@vox.com(jjames) — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 15:06:03 -0700

I have been encouraged to use Myspace for the capability to act as a shoddy network, publishing and sales portal for musicians, or "bands" as they distinguish it. This involved deleting my current account (the obligatory one we all get pressured...

Dimetic Hypnosis

nobody@vox.com(jjames) — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 15:15:00 -0700

While eating breakfast on Saturday morning, when I least expected it, Jean tried this pagan dime ritual on me. If you let your eyes relax and go out of focus while looking at her dime-laden face she gains control of your will, rendering you a ...
