Kongbalong Sampler

I’m putting together a short sampler of my various musical projects, so that when people ask me what my music sounds like, I can just give them a CD.

The current track order:

  1. Too Primitive

  2. Blimps
  3. More Than Soup
  4. Accelerator
  5. Thunder Storm
  6. Dinga Da Donga
  7. Hunker Down
  8. Please Don’t Call Me Ken
  9. I Don’t Like Eggplant
  10. Stepping on the Cowboy
  11. High Noon

Stream it

Use this link to a m3u decoder that I just hacked together to get download links of the individual songs. (Use it on all your favorite m3us!).

Is there anything I’m leaving out, or is there anything I’ve included that shouldn’t be here? Also, what do you think of the track order.

I’m planning to remix a few of these tracks, and will master the whole thing like an album.

365 Great Songfight Songs

Ubermusician Glenn Case is compiling a list of 365 Great Songfight Songs, picking one song each day for the entire year.

It just so happens that my More Than Soup was his choice on Tuesday.

Anyway, if you want a spoon-fed selection of super homebrewed music, then be sure to check it out:

Weathermen

BoingBoing had a few weatherman-related stories recently, and I thought they were worthy of being repeated here.

Here’s a video of the most obnoxious weatherman in the world: Mark Mathis (7.5MB wmv file)

And here is a shockwave video of a weatherman having some kind of meltdown:
The worst weather report ever

New Bjork Video

Here’s a link to Bjork’s new video for “Triumph of a Heart”.

It’s awesome. I love it.

Resume

Anybody want to read my resume?

(That means you, Google.)

The Rivals!

My brother’s band The Rivals has been mentioned here before, I believe.

He’s the talented one in the family.

Anyway, they now have a bonafide web presence. You should check it out immediately.

They have also posted a few tracks at somesongs.

Here’s a hilarious LOTR-related animated gif:

UPDATE: the link has gone south for the winter. I will update this post with a self-hosted pic tomorrow. The link should work now.

Jury Pool from Hell

This story had me cracking up:

D.A. Confronts ‘Jury Pool From Hell’

Another would-be juror said he had had alcohol problems and was arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover officer. “I should have known something was up,” he said. “She had all her teeth.”
