“Big Radio” Playlists

Wednesday, August 6th, 2003

So you’re saying to yourself, “WXXX sure plays a lot of [insert bandname]>” (substitute “KXXX” if you live west of the Mississippi River or in the Philly Area)…

Andrew found the site to prove if you’re just going nuts or your local station is playing way too much Limp Bizkit. Chances are that it’s both… [...]

Ryan Adams - “Heartbreaker”

Wednesday, August 6th, 2003

I decided to start a new feature here on marusin.com. I tend to listen to a lot of music and usually pick up my fair share of new stuff (although it’s definitely not always a “new release”). I also have been digging back into “the archives” and giving a re-listen to some music [...]

Behind The Computer

Monday, August 4th, 2003

Rock and Roll Chicago

Monday, August 4th, 2003

Jim DeRogatis has a posting on his site entitled, “Rock and Roll Chicago” which talks about his top picks for Rock Songs written (or is it “wrote”?) about Chicago…

For once I can somewhat agree with him (I personally am not a huge fan of Mr. Dero, but that’s a whole other story involving [...]

TypePad Launches Today

Monday, August 4th, 2003

TypePad, the latest weblogging “platform” (or is it really an “application”?) from the folks at SixApart (who also brought you MovableType), has been released to the public today… There is some really cool functionality in there that is quite tempting…

The only thing is that I really enjoy the fact that my MovableType installation is [...]

Nothing Like…

Sunday, August 3rd, 2003

your mom being offered a hit from the guy’s doob sitting in front of us a the Dylan/Dead show last night and her replying instantly, “I’m trying to cut back…” Very funny. :)

yo, yo

Nice to get a shout-out from Chris in the latest Lockergnome Windows Daily newsletter regarding webloggers at Gnomedex… Maybe that can explain the onslaught of hits I’ve got within the last 24 hours. :)
