Top Songs and Albums of 2011
Well, I’m a little late on this, but I figured I’d throw it up for posterity’s sake (so your kids can read it on Tumblr someday too!). Below are my Top 15 albums and Top 10 songs of 2011. It was a good year!
If you would like to see a more multi-media-esque presentation with pictures and words I wrote about these albums and songs, you can check out a PDF here. Don’t ask me...

The Eternal Shame of Your First Online Handle →
“Quickstuff3” and “Peteypockets” were my first two online aliases. I thought I was both speedy and good at poker, neither of which are very true today.
Yeah, for sure! I met her at a house party, hanging out with some friends. She...

A Few Quick Thoughts On Grantland Because Why Not
Weighing in on Grantland seems like the flavor of the day and boy could I go for some ice cream…
1. You can’t launch with an awful design AND not have an RSS feed. You can get away with one or the other, but not both. And honestly, this wouldn’t be a huge deal if this was some small budget start-up with little funding. Instead, ESPN appears to have given an unlimited editorial...

"What happens in your cave, stays in your cave"
That was the subject line of an e-mail I received the other day from the notorious antiseptic spam blasters over at Dell. This push is apparently meant to help promote what they are calling “Man Cave” week. Because the people in Dell’s marketing department clearly have their finger on the pulse, you see.
Anyways, “Man Cave” week is sweeping the nation and the...

The Visser of Ozcast Episode Six →
I’ve been meaning to REBLOG one of these for awhile and now seems like as good of a time as ever, so WHY NOT. My friend (who shall remain nameless) Austin Visser and I have started recording a podcast—errrr, (Visser of) Ozcast—that we are trying to pull together at least once a week. It’s a mishmash of pop culture and sports and if you like either of those things or nasally...

Top Songs of 2010 & Other Miscellany
Hot off the heels of my fire-breathing Top Releases of 2010 list comes my equally incinerating Top Songs of 2010 list, along with some random musings about artists who didn’t live up to the hype this year.
Oh, and here’s a .zip of all 20 songs featured below if you are a combo reader and nibbler like me.

Top Music Releases of 2010
2010 was a really, really good year for music. Below is a somewhat long-winded summary of my favorite releases from 2010.
With seemingly every other band releasing an EP or full length for free on their Bandcamp page and Altered Zones (R.I.P. Pitchfork) uncovering gem after gem, 2010 made for a pretty fun year for musical discovery (although it also proved to be the hardest year yet to stay on...

Putting The "L" in "GTL"
I wonder if I got a big tattoo of the letter “L” on my bicep if people would understand my irrepressible desire to feel a part of the Jersey Shore phenomenon all while remaining true to myself?

Katy Perry - California Burritos (Overzet...
Hey guys, just remixed the song of the summer after a California Buritto spoke to me in my dreams last night:
California burritos
We’re unforgettable
Asada Dukes
Cheese on top
Sun-kissed tortilla
So hot
We’ll melt your
Mouth
Oooooh oh oooooh
California burritos
We’re undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got your wallet on lock
Late night eateries...
