As you probably have noticed, I have moved my blog. I love this new format and design, but one thing I miss was my consistent updating of my blogger profile with movies I’ve seen, ones I want to see, music I’m listening to, and current faves and interests. I always like reading what other people are reading, listening to, and watching, and it’s a good way for me to keep tabs on what I’m into at a certain moment in time and also remember the movies I want to see or music I want to hear. So I think I will try to give updates on a pretty regular basis; perhaps weekly or bi-monthly. Should these updates have a name? Any ideas?

I have to credit Monitor Mix for bringing this video to my attention.  I must now resist the urge to spend an hour of my day watching Patti Smith videos from the 1970s.

Also, Experience Music Project created a “Riot Grrrl Retrospective” and they can now be viewed online at YouTube.  There are a total of 11 different parts.  Embedding is disabled, so here’s a link to the first one:
