My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2008-3-30) →
Woody Guthrie Misty Edwards The Raconteurs Hillsong London Jars of Clay Imported from Last.fm Tumblr EDIT: Yeah, I accidently left all my Woody Guthrie albums on repeat one night this week while sleeping, hence him being at the top. Misty Edwards’ “Relentless” has most definitely been my #1 most listened to over the last couple of weeks, it is incredible.
Muxtape / catbird →
Funniest Muxtape EVAR….well done, catbird, well done. (via Stereogum)
Children of Men: The Television Series →
David Eick writing it? Sign me up! This has some great promise, especially if they bring in a lot of the BSG folks who will be done with the series by then.
WatchThis is so random, I couldn’t help but share. Zucker in a My Name Is Earl promo. Yes, it sounds awful, but hell….I laughed most of the way through. Kudos to whoever wrote and/or got him to say some of that stuff.
Postcards From Yo Momma →
I love this new tumblr, I die laughing every day. I submitted an email my mother sent and its been posted a few days ago. What a great blog idea. (via kellyreeves)
“… Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that...”
– Newsweek in 1995 (via Paleo-Future)
WatchI helped find the music for this scene! It is from the Pilot episode of Lipstick Jungle…yes, not really my thing, but I just had to share one of my first experiences of helping find music for broadcast television. Alicen and Stacy in my department music supervise the show.
NBC to split into two studios: one for glamorous... →
mysecondstrike: From the LA TIMES. Now we know the answer to “What’s Bonnie Hammer going to do?” This is really intriguing…Not really sure what this means for the company. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
South Park Studios →
Wow…every South Park episode online - free and legal, this is great!
Vote on the new NBC page uniforms →
Video link above. For some reason the embed breaks tumblr. Why must they change the NBC Page uniforms the year after I’m done? You can vote on which you think the best here. I’m partial to the Grey Harringbone one. Trust me when I say, these new uniforms are most definitely needed.

Easter
I know its late, and it doesn’t “feel like” Easter anymore, but I just wanted to say…I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter day. He is risen!
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
– Leo Tolstoy (via battlements)
Easter at the Hollywood Bowl →
My church is having Easter service at the Hollywood Bowl…if you don’t have a place to go or would like to check it out, let me know, should be a great time. What is a bit sad, is this will be my first time at the Bowl! And I’ve lived in LA for a year and half now…this summer I must try to go to a few shows.

I got RADAR'd
My brief photo/link to Kelly about the Guitar Hero DS somehow ended up on the tumblr RADAR…! This is quite a surprise, but it is nice to have a couple new folks following me ;) And on that same note, I have fun new people to follow! Hi, new tumblr-friends!
WatchSimplify Media How did I miss this app when it launced last year? This could be so useful…Can’t wait to try this out at home! I will post later with my thoughts and see if it merits having you go use it so we can listen to music together :^)
hulu: Arrested Development →
If you have never seen Arrested Development…here is your chance to remedy that problem. All three seasons are on hulu. Start from Episode 1, Season 1 and keep watching….You’ll thank me later.
WatchI love Tracey Morgan. This is hilarious commentary.

Why Americans love the Irish →
I spent two (very quick) days in Ireland in college with my best friend - it was amazing. While I don’t have any Irish heritage, I love the faith, people and culture of Ireland….oh, and that band, U2! I studied Celtic Christianity a bit in college and think modern Believers like myself could learn a lot from their faith traditions. Add in the beautifully warm and friendly people,...

Dungeon Master: The Life and Legacy of Gary Gygax... →
I never played D&D myself, but Gary Gygax’s influence on modern gaming and entertainment is undeniable. He died recently, and WIRED has a wonderful tribute/biography of his life. He seemed like a wonderful person. The truly amazing thing to me is, late in his life, he came to believe in God…which is pretty astounding, considering how some (very misguided) Christians treated him...

He Knew He Was Right - Newsweek →
To be honest, I didn’t know much about Bill Buckley or the tredmendous influence he had on modern politics until after he passed recently. This article, however, is an inspiring look at his life and where we’re at now without him.
