Make someone else’s home the party place. My friends Kozyndan were away and so the rest of us decided to make their home karaoke central. It’s easy when you have a portable karaoke machine.
   
Vivian plays the wine bottle like a triangle.

During a ballad, Jen lights a flame. And my dog wears glasses.

Where can I [...]

So it was my first time at SXSW and my excuse for going was because I was on a panel with the Whuffaoke (the Winnebago with karaoke that drove across the country last summer) folks : Tara Hunt author of The Whuffie Factor, the irrepressible partiers Karen Hartline, Emma Perky, Tony B. of New Work [...]

At SXSW I finally got to me the irrepressible Jeff Croft and Scott Phelps, creators of Barstar, the Foursquare of karaoke. If you haven’t tried it, you have to go sign up for the beta right RIGHT NOW! It’s a brilliant app that lets you share what you’re singing and where. Like Foursquare, it makes [...]

So I’m starting a new endeavor called the Infinite Garage Project. I’m going to sell 35 years of my parents (and my) belongings over the next 365 days, out of our giant 3 car garage. More of an explanation here.
We accumulated a ton of crap over the years, including karaoke Laserdiscs and players. But I’m [...]

This is an amazing business model that should [...]

Black lights, neon, and multiple lyrics screens inside a cab? When I get to Austin for SXSW for next week’s the karaoke panel, I’m going to have to hail this car down for the ride of my life. Austin’s “Land Yacht” as owner Scott Powell calls it is equipped with 30,000 songs of all genres [...]

Monica gets singer of the week since she’s not afraid to get down and dirty. Much props!

If you haven’t seen Michael Cera in Youth In Revolt, your inner angsty teenager wants you to, if not for Cera’s awkward charm but for the French soundtrack. Nerd falls in love with a young Francophile and behaves very badly to be with her. Includes Cera dressing like a mini Serge Gainsbourg.

I was also delighted [...]

In my other life, I publish a zine about video games and am always looking for futuristic graphics and illustrations. After doing a little Journey research, I remembered that prog rock is rich with a fantasy sci-fi style I never tired of, like French artist Moebius. It’s so timeless! I never get sick of looking [...]
