Nonsense Records is a bit of an anomaly in Orlando - they are an indie label with unique acts (in my eyes at least). Now I can’t really say I know too much about the state of modern hip hop, but I do know that this is not a rap label. You won’t find any […]

John Higgins, AKA johnnydiggz on MySpace and YouTube, is a local musician and film producer whom I met on the set of the locally-produced indie film The Karaoke King (see our previous coverage). I came across this rough video clip today, which appears to be about a local lounge duo called Mark & Lorna.
Here’s […]

WHiRR laboratories is now located in Toronto, Ontario. To celebrate, we’ll be participating in the Last Minute Craft Fair at Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre on December 16. If you’re in the area, admission is free and we’re looking to meet new crafty and/or robot-appreciating friends.

If you’re in the San Francisco area, take the afternoon on December 9 to shop indie at Pandora’s Trunk, where WHiRR merchandise will be on display and for sale. San Franciscans should also be on the lookout for WHiRR in MILA.

Holiday WHiRR orders must be made no later than December 9 for Christmas delivery.

Comics will resume as soon as we hook up the scanner. Boris and I appreciate your patience and look forward to filling your friendly robot art needs.

click. beep. WHiRR.

Katharine.

Sigh. Does anyone miss this as much as I do?

Is there still hope for the Dolphins and Giants to make the playoffs? Whose playoff hopes might the Steelers and Bucs spoil? Can the “Edge”-less Colts ACTUALLY make the Super Bowl as predicted by 2 of our hosts? These and many more questions to be answered as the SoTG, Weasel, […]

Over at blog.myspace.com/orlandofringe, social media director for the Orlando Fringe Mark Baratelli has begun posting a series of videos that relate generally to the festival. Mark will also be doing a Fringe Ads channel on MySpace which is basically giving the middle finger to Blogging Fringe and myself. I’m still not sure exactly how this […]

Dodger - Live Aug. 11th. Post*Records Orlando, FL. Add to My Profile | More Videos
Ah, the infamous Orlando record label, Post*Records. They seem to specialize “indie rock”, if such a category really exists. It’s like saying “alternative” in the 90’s - it means, not pop, not rock - and in this case, not quite […]

It’s tough to possess the secrets of the universe.
Day after day people approach me on the street and ask, “Aleshia, what do I need in order to live a life of purpose and fulfillment?”
And I answer: “Cheese.” Obviously. Show me a person who can think of something that can’t be improved with cheese, and I’ll […]

Searching video on MySpace will bring up some very interesting things, but disappointingly most videos have the same three links at the postroll, and one of them is extremely gross… they should really censor that stuff.
On a lighter note, I found at least one video I’d like to share with you all, and that is […]

Every year the Orlando Chapter of the Media Communications Association International hosts a 36-hour film festival called O36. The idea of such festivals is to create a film from concept to completion including writing, shooting and editing in just 36 hours. Lots of caffeine, little sleep, and good old-fashioned elbow grease makes an event like […]

As any red, white and blue-blooded, well-versed, gen-u-ine Ameri-person will tell you, one’s cultural identity is based upon the events that take place on the following dates:
April 16: The Day After Tax Day
Key ingredients: Large quantities of alcohol to drown out the undeniable fact that you have just spent upwards of $12 to send forms […]

I got a chance to attend the lottery drawing for the Fringe Shows and Play in a Day this week. Beth said they had 91 applicants this year, which I’m sure breaks some sort of record.
To explain, under the rules laid down by the Canadian Ass’n of Fringe Festivals (CAFF), our festival must reserve 20% […]

The Niners, Dolphins, and Tampas rise, but the Colts fall. What made it happen and what it may mean in the eyes on the SoTG, Weasel, and Drew — the Local Statboy.

It has been brought to my attention that I seem to be catering to folks who may have a deep understanding of adding unnecessary letters to words and pronouncing the last letter of the alphabet incorrectly, but who have little background information on Paul Reubens.
But first, a conundrum.
Family Guy has been a part of my […]

I’ve only just seen Justin Beckler perform live for the first time a few days ago, playing solo outside in the cold at Dandelion CommuniTEA. If I’d had any idea his album sounded like this, I would have bought one straightaway. Justin says in the video that he produced the album himself, but it really […]
