Paul McCartney

Just a reminder that Paul McCartney rocks harder at 71 than most people do at the height of their rocking-ness. Untill recently, John was my favorite Beatle for the quite stupid reason that my mom insisted I looked like him, at least while I was younger. But recently, of the

Protestul din 15 decembrie, Cluj

Am ajuns târziu, recunosc, n-am apucat să aud discursurile, deci probabil că mi-am făcut o idee denaturată de scandările pe care le-am auzit. Acestea fiind zise… Având în vedere evenimentele săptămânii trecute [https://cronco.me/2013/10-decembrie-zi-neagra/], faptul că s-a păstrat accentul pe Roșia Montană m-a dezamăgit profund. Ce au

Taking a break from Facebook

So I’ve recently taken a break from Facebook, mainly because I wasted way too much time on it, while (apparently) getting very little in return. I’m probably making more of a big deal out of this than I should, but here are some things I’ve noticed: * If

A dream-like game, or rather a game-like dream - Kentucky Route Zero

I don’t really know how to describe Kentucky Route Zero [http://kentuckyroutezero.com/] other than stumbling into someone elses’ dream and vaguely controlling it, or rather prodding it in one direction or another, but mostly just experiencing it. The game is visually splendid, it has a great soundtrack, mixing

Din când în când mai dau de câte un tip care îmi place să cred că e alter-egoul meu mai puțin leneș și cu mai mult talent care s-a apucat totuși să-și facă proiectu ăla solo și sună excelent. Anul trecut a fost Dan Bejar și al său Destroyer. Azi,

My problem

My problem is that I want to do so many things at once I end up doing none of them.

music

Coco's fault

I Blame Coco is exactly what you’d expect from Sting’s daughter: vaguely rock-ish pop, well built songs and a really good voice (kinda sounds like her daddy). But you probably already knew this as her album’s been out for 2 years. Anyways, check it.

Ever had the feeling you’re witnessing the start of something huge? Cause for the last few months, that’s what I’ve been feeling, and it’s filled me up with hope and enthusiasm for a scene which I considered dead, and strengthened my resolve to do my own

facebook as a mirror to the soul

Lately, when I’ve been adding people on Facebook (or Google+), I find myself looking through their profiles or timelines, sometimes with the thoroughness of a stalker (you do it too, you know), and if I find an empty profile or very few postings, I guess I think something along

End of year stuff (others)

So I’m fast approaching I just went over 36 hours of no sleep (except for about 10 minutes of bobbing my head up and down to psy/goa with my eyes closed, while on the side of my bed, around the 24 hour mark) and I’m thinking that

End of year stuff (music)

So I promised myself I wouldn’t do end-of-year tops, cause in my experience they’re nothing else than reminders of how stupid I was, and how little music I had listened. Not that this will be any different, but I hope these observations are closer to truths which I’
