  • Yankee Candles, Part 2

    No way! Even more candles!

  • New Yankee Candles

    I hadn’t been to a Yankee Candle for a while. These are some new scents I saw. Or maybe they’re old. I’m no candle historian. Still, some bold and exciting choices here. Why not start the new year right with a couple of these smellmakers?

  • A Bee Snorter’s Amalgam – More Beatles Anagrams

    Part two of my “remake Beatles album covers with anagrams” project.

    Part one.

    ¡EL HP! (Help!)

    Our Burbles (Rubber Soul)

    This now looks like a Pearl Jam/Herb Alpert supergroup cover.

    Lover Rev (Revolver)

  • A Manager’s Bleats – Beatles Anagrams

    Someone on twitter did an awesome silly thing where they re-titled James Bond movies with their anagrams. I thought it was a great idea, so I stole it to re-do Beatles albums. Here’s the first batch. I’m skipping the early Capitol hacked-up albums.

    A Stereo Elf Slab (Beatles For Sale)

    Now with 100% more Ringo (nose only)

    The problem with Beatles anagrams is that their album titles are usually pretty short. Some of these would be under ten letters if I didn’t include “Beatles” in the name.

    The White Album is probably going to be super lame.

  • The Most Important Records of All Time

    These are the greatest albums ever recorded, and this certainly isn’t just a repost of old junk that I’m using to test how things look when posted to Facebook. Take the time to find these at your local record shop. I won’t regret it!

    Entirely composed from Asner’s grunts and body noises. Most people are more familiar with Giorgio Moroder’s remix of “Midnight After Taco Bell,” but the original is a stark reminder of the raw power of field recordings.
