Soothing Websites
Posted by: steve
I have this great new idea! It's called Soothing Websites and it is a number of websites dedicated to soothing and meditative movies and images. There will be least 3 soothing websites: FIRE, WATER, and EARTH with more possibilities like WINDS and RUNNING HORSES. The concept is that people will suscribe to Soothing Websites for a fee like $9.99 a month. I mean, I see this as an eventually replacement for the currently popular but soon to be outdated Satellite Television. People these days are willing to pay up to $34.99 for 80 channels of Satellite Television, so $9.99 seems to be a VERY reasonable price for many "channels" or websites of soothing material.
Here is a demo of our soothing materials. Please enjoy the soothe. (click on image for video)
Please let us know if you think my idea is a good one, and if you would be willing to pay $9.99 for access to Soothing Websites or if you would be willing to pay more please let us know how much you would pay.

Landing is an amazing band of the space/drone/psych/folk variety that has been making amazing and beautiful music since the late 90s. They put out a bunch of great albums like Seasons and Passages Through. Well, one of their members, the amazing Dick Baldwin, moved away leaving the band in flux and semi dormant for a while. Dormant they remain no longer, as the band played live recently on Brown Student Radio in Providence, RI. They debuted a new direction that is more ambient, experimental, and minimal. Their session on BSR is really amazing and taking me deep very often these days. It is available for streaming and dudes should put it on when needing to zone in.
BSR has a really rad archive of their shows. Other highlights are this Lucky Dragons live set, and the Phoning It In show where musicians play live over the phone that has featured such dudes as Jad Fair, Daniel Johnston, Fred Thomas, Thanksgiving, Bobby Birdman, Mt. Eerie, Dennis Driscoll, The Mountain Goats, and my personally favorite set the amazingly trippy World.
OMG Making the Video with Mike Jones
Posted by: steve
Saturday night. Hangin' out solo, getting ready for my SNLs (which is one of my nerdier obsessions. I DO NOT MISS AN EPISODE). I did some dishes. Making some crummy rice a roni. BUT!!!! What did I find on my TV, but Making the Video on MTV where they are making a Mike Jones video!!!! I freaked.
There is a actress in the video who's name is "Cyberdiva."
Also, I'm pretty sure Brandy from America's Next Top Model Cycle 4 is in the video.
I'm not sure why MTV is showing Mike Jones so much love recently, but I'm into it. Also, I saw Paul Wall perform on MTV2 yesterday. THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP!!!! He's got the internet goin' nuts!!! I read an article recently about how Paul Wall's day job is designing and manufacturing gold teeth. He has made gold teeth for all kinds of celebs like Master P, Lil' Jon, Stephen Jackson (of the Indiana Pacers). The most interesting thing Paul disclosed is that TI has lost something like 5 full sets of teeth. How does that even happen??
PS - I'm really feeling the new Mike Jones album, "WHO IS MIKE JONES?" Does anybody know how I can get a Mike Jones t shirt without having to send him a money order?
update: MTV censors out Mike Jones phone number when he says it in his song!!? What is their deal?? Dude wants people to call him. LET THEM. Also, Will Ferrell is hosting SNL next week. They have given me the greatest gift. (J. Knoxville was weak, but System of the Down and Merv the Perv and laughing newsteam and deaf comic ruled)
