Grey Dog Cafe

Awesome brunch. Loved the potatoes. Wasn’t crazy about the coffee. Cool concept – you stand in line, order and then they seat you and bring you your food.

Mars Volta Rock Roseland
by lostofficehero on Oct.08, 2009, under music
The Mars Volta rocked out for 90 minutes at Roseland ballroom in NYC this evening. Playing an array of tracks from all five of their albums, they had the crowd energized. Cedric Bixler-Zavala was at his best; dancing, singing and flat out performing for, and conversing with the crowd.
With a limited number of band members (only 6 on stage tonight), TMV moved away slightly from their jam-band tendencies to play a fantastic set, albeit a relatively short one.
All in all, it was a wonderful evening with the kids from El Paso.

The Cribs: Ignore the Ignorant
by lostofficehero on Sep.29, 2009, under music
With the addition of Johnny Marr, the band seems to have matured quite a bit. At times, Guitarist/Singer Ryan Jarman sounds like he’s impersonating Kurt Cobain with his screeching vocals (see “Cheat on Me” or “Nothing”). Other times, you feel like you’re listening to a British version of a song from Green Day’s American Idiot. After you’re done listening to the entire thing, you realize that this doesn’t sound like New Fellas or even Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever
at all – it sounds grown up. Listen to “Cheat on Me” and a sample of “Nothing” after the jump. (continue reading…)
$15/month for txt messaging is absurd!
by lostofficehero on Sep.29, 2009, under tech
Paying $15 a month for txt messaging really bothers me. Every time I get my phone bill from AT&T, I am irked by that one line item. If I’m paying $30 for unlimited data service, why do I need to pay for SMS? Isn’t that just data also? Oh, and if I want unlimited txt capability, it’s $20. I’m sure I’m not the first to complain about this, and I’m sure that I won’t really do anything about it – other than complain. Half the reason I txt so often is that any call lasting more than a few minutes seems to get dropped. Gotta love that AT&T.
