Welcome to tastypopsicle.com

I've decided to open up the weblog archive. At one point is was closed off except to registered members due to an incident, However, that company has since closed its doors so they can just eat it. Use the search to find something that youmight be looking for. Maybe you'll find it.

Aggro1 has just released another great mash-up track Elton John "Bennie And The Jets" v. DJ Teebee & Calyx "The Quest". "The Quest" bass line, familiar to any Drum n Bass head, rips through this track like a machete. After listening to the song I did a search for "The Quest" which led me to some more interesting findings. Breaksblog.biz contains a MASSIVE collection of some breaks and dnb sets. The kind folks there list where each of the tracks are generously hosted which led me to DnbRadio.com - another source for streaming Drum n Bass other than Bass Drive.

Two days ago I received a comment from a recent Chicago transplant.

Hey. I just discovered your Google/CTA map through the chicago_el Livejournal community. I'm new here, and I'm finding it extremely helpful already. Thank you!

Like many other people who live in Chicago Jennifer has found my CTA Google Map to be a useful tool for finding coffee shops, Wifi, thrift stores or anything else around any El station. I wrote back to Jennifer yesterday after visiting her website, http://www.jenniferblaufrau.com/, and she seems like a very nice woman who looking to find some success in Chicago. Jennifer, I wish you lots of success and I look forward to checking out your new business web site just as soon as you launch it.

The word best summed up 2006, according to an online survey by dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster and reported by Forbes online on December 8. John Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Comedy Central have a much greater influence on the young adults of today than arguably any other media source.

"Truthiness" was credited to Comedy Central satirist Stephen Colbert, who defined it as "truth that comes from the gut, not books."

This year saw a lot of BS being spewed forth from our politicians who honestly believed what they were saying was true - to them at least. I have no doubt that truthiness will become even more engrained in our vernacular as the years go on.

Last year I mentioned an awesome Christmas mash-up album put together by djBC called Santastic: Holiday Boots For Your Stockings. This year djBC has done it again with Santastic II: Clausome.

Donde Esta Santa Claus? - Lenlow 05. The Darlene Love Sub-Zero Ecosystem - ATOM 06. X-Mash - Divide and Kreate 07. Let Me Clear My Throat At Christmas - Cheekyboy 08. Pere Noel Blues - ComaR 09.

If you the files ever disappear let me know and I'll make arrangements.

Amy and I arrived in Syracuse, NY late on Thursday night. I tell you what: it's a little odd to be in Upstate New York this time of year with no snow on the ground and temperatures in the high 40's and low 50's. I'm used to 2-3 feet of snow on the ground this close to Christmas. Tonight is the annual Knittel Christmas party. It'll be great to see the whole extended family for the first time in over 2 years. Did I mention that it's very odd that the weather in Syracuse seems almost "balmy"? I think the world might be ending.

While back in Syracuse, NY over the weekend I saw a post come through my Bloglines RSS reader about these wonderful Super Mario mini stamps originally posted on ThinkGeek: Imagine my amazement when I clicked into the story to see these gems as well: Oh Glory!

Please keep in mind that these Super Mario Bros. Mini Stamps are limited edition Japanese imported capsule toys and are random packed. When we sell out, these are gone and we cannot get more. You cannot choose the specific model you receive. Please read the sidebar

Oh Phooey!

And I'm not talking about L.A. Style's 1992 Techno hit titled "James Brown is Dead" He's really dead.

James Brown, the dynamic, pompadoured "Godfather of Soul," whose revolutionary rhythms, rough voice and flashing footwork influenced generations of musicians from rock to rap, died early Christmas morning. He was 73.
