Review: Vinyl Post, the monthly postcard-sized record delivery service
This never happens. I’m immune to this kind of marketing. Dammit, they got me. While doing the usual message board rounds one day back in September, I stumbled upon an advertisement that spoke to me: it was about vinyl records. Not just regular records, though: postcard records. Having recently thrown myself into the world of…

Random Game Purchase: Donkey Konga
It doesn’t take much more than a good coupon to drive me into game-buying-mode. When I came across Gamestop’s 20%-off coupon for used Gamecube games over at Cheap Ass Gamer, I was all over that.

Top 10 Couch Songs In “Rock Band”
While this is a Top 10 list, it’s not part of a regular episode, so I won’t toss it over with the rest of the more formal Top 10 lists. This is instead intended to just be a fun little thing to put out there, and to coax Jeff and Andrew into making their own…

DRM-Free Is The Way To Be
This has nothing to do with Spore. Sorry. One of the funnest (see what I did there? It’s topical!) things that Meri and I do after AWA is create some kind of “mix-tape” (well, an MP3 playlist that may or may not be burned to CD for my line-in-less car audio system) of our favorite…
