New Year’s Anti-Resolutions

Bradford Schmidt — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:39:00 +0000

I was recently digging through some my columns for Florida Weekly and landed on this one from December of 2010. It amused me; hope it amuses you. And yes, I’m aware that it’s not timely.

I dislike most mainstream comics. I find humor that’s very broad, obvious and hacky to be irritating, not

Moog Animoog: Coolest iPad App Ever (99 cents for ltd time)

Bradford Schmidt — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:28:08 +0000

I don’t have an iPad. I don’t have any intention of buying an iPad either. Hell, I don’t even wish for one. I mean, if one appeared at my front door I might play with it, but then I’d probably sell it.

Or that’s the way I’ve felt until today, when I found

One More Reason to Love Eclectic Method: Zombies

I’ve written about them before, and as long as they keep doing stuff like this I’ll write about them again. Or at least I’ll put up a sentence or two with an embed.

Tell me you can watch this without loving this:

I know – you cant, right? Hell, I even dig

Chris Glover - Possibly not a tool, hopefully not a Jesus freak (this photo is a bit Christ-ey, right?)

Last week, in advance of Penguin Prison filming a video for the song “Don’t Fuck With My Money” during an Occupy Wall Street march, I wrote a brief piece in which I that

Penguin Prison Seeks Bitch, Eyes ‘Occupy Wall Street’

The Penguin Prison Dude

It takes a lot to drag me out of my stupor to write these days, but a press release I just got from Penguin Prison’s publicist did it. If you don’t know Penguin Prison, it’s a retro synth-pop band (person?) headed by a dude named Chris Glover that

Troggs Studio Spy Tape

Bradford Schmidt — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:59:19 +0000

My friend Mickie has informed me that she has not heard the infamous Troggs studio spy tape – thus, I make it available to all.

I was given a copy on cassette during a recording session in New York sometime back in 1990 or so. Engineers and producers tend to share these sorts

Alamo Drafthouse: A No-Texting Theater After My Own Heart

Bradford Schmidt — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:54:57 +0000

Austin, Texas is a great city, and the Alamo Drafthouse theater is just one reason. Besides hosting film festivals like Fantastic Fest, having custom pre-shows instead of comercials at the beginning of films (we saw Roger Allan Wade perform before Mike Judge introduced Jackass Number Two on opening night), and serving hot food and cold beer right

The New Mastersounds: New Music, Tour, and Free MP3

One of my favorite things about the Starbucks I used to frequent was Brian Weinthal, a (now former) barista there who also happens to be the drummer in Lavola a band I’ve written about extensively (long before they were named 2011′s best band by New Times), and to whom you should really give

Good doggie, don't eat me. Click to enlarge.

This article appeared in a different form in “The Mashup,” my weekly print column for Florida Weekly.

In a folder, under my bed, is a 1969 Christmas card from the St. Bernard’s school in New York City. The reason I happen to have this
