Top 10 records, because it’s banal

Posted by Mike Sugarbaker at 7:14 am on 12/18/2003

In no order:

Prefuse 73, One Word Extinguisher / Extinguished
Yeti #2 Compilation
Ted Leo/Pharmacists, Hearts of Oak
White Stripes, Elephant
Throwing Muses, Throwing Muses
Hexstatic, Solid Steel Presents Hexstatic: “Listen & Learn”
The Bad Plus, These Are The Vistas
Electric Six, Fire
Dump, A Grown-Ass Man
New Pornographers, Electric Version

This year’s list should be regarded as even more suspect than usual, given the low amount of music-buying I did (and the even lower amount of downloading).

Best live show: did I see any?

Amazon shortcut goodness ahoy!

Posted by Mike Sugarbaker at 3:35 am on

Are you as sad as I am that Amazon Light isn’t quite light enough? Would you like to be able to define a sweet little bookmark keyword in Mozilla that lets you type, say, “az richard hell” to do a cross-category Amazon search on some old punk rocker? Try bookmarking this URL, then opening its Properties in Mozilla’s Bookmark Manager and adding the keyword “az”.

You can do something similar with Amazon Light if you work at it, but you can’t search across categories - just in one category at a time (books, movies, whatever). So I hacked up a script I like better. You’re welcome!
