I love Paste Magazine for many, many reasons. Here, they have honored the creators of a robot built to fetch beer. Not the most novel idea, but the fact it works is pretty freaking sweet. But really, a robot serving alcohol? Sounds like robot invasion tactics to me, especially after finding it's counter-part Beer2-D2.

Do you think you're developing/honing a taste (or maybe a hunger?) for the non-human focused literature? Lucky, and not so luck for you, there's a lot of it out there. The literate minded, over your head jokers, and soft speakers that are NPR, have compiled a list of oozy, gritty, down right dirty summer un-dead, mutant and extra-terrestrial readings to assist in the forging.

December of 2008 was an all talk and no walk album month. No one seemed to be releasing but everyone was talking about, "in 2009." In 2009 indeed, the first week of January was hit hard by the music scene. All the Best Of of 2008 articles got washed by headlines about Animal Collective's new masterpiece, then Kanye West was making a scene blogging about Peter Bjorn and John's melodies and since then it's been band after band. She & Him aren't even waiting for their best album of the year declaration from Paste magazine to fade before they're making it known they're in the studio again. However, amidst this flurry of new sound bites, there are a few albums that I am more than excited about.

ChipperDemon's September CD release passed with a giant music post. The CD included some great artists including The Faint and other random gems. The most recommended tracks would include: Beat Radio's Mexico, Sleepy Sun's Lord and White Lies' Death. Overall, the CD has a very indie rock sound and should become another beloved collection produced by ChipperDemon.

The first New Hero Tuesday last week was quite successful. Sitting around an ominous black conference table forking a delicious pasta based dish with eggplant, zuccini and other great goodies was a perfect viewing experience of Heroes' premiere of the third season, Villains. With good food, good wine, good company and a big WebVision screen to enjoy the show, it was a really freaking fun time.
