Warren Zevon on Hunter Thompson
Nice VH-1 interview with Warren Zevon on making music in the face of death, witty observations about Hunter S. Thompson and more: The first exchange we ever had was about 10 years ago, when my daughter and I arrived in Aspen. I said, “Dr. Thompson, I’ve got the most terrible headache you can ever imagine.…

Metamemewatch: Minding the Planet
Paul Ford’s Ftrain is in full effect and from it I ended up at Nova Spivack’s Minding the Planet, wherein he asks the musical question Do You Like This Blog? Help Me Spread It Like a Virus!… If you like this blog – help me spread it like a virus to others who might like…

His built-in iPod
Browsing cheesedog (aka, Garret Keogh to those antiwebbers out there reading this), I found a link to the dependable Onion (I have an iPod… in my mind) which cracked me up so hard it inspired this unfortunate urge to post a link to an Onion bit, in lockstep, no doubt, with hundreds of other webloggers.…

Daypop Top and falling fast
You, gentle reader, probably did not notice my most recent experience of nanofame, a weekend flirting with the top of the weblog charts on the strength of a weak little song parody I call Blogistan Pie.

Tom Coates fact-checks the BBC
Ordinarily, Tom Coates of plasticbag.org defends professional journalism as the province of dedicated newgathering resources and standards of professionalism, although, as he notes in On ‘two years’ of weblogs…, [A]bsolutely anyone who’s ever been featured in a news story … knows full well that journalists routinely seem to get quite important and easy-to-check facts wrong.…
