Dear Science - TV on the Radio
Written by craig coffman
If you are not familiar with TV on the Radio, you might want to consider it. This band has been changing the landscape of modern music for years now, and their latest album continues their redefining ways. Dear Science runs many genres together without making you think it is just a lift of a specific sound. Somehow, TVotR manage to meld different styles into something of their own.
Universal Symbol for Anarchy
Written by craig coffman
I have always enjoyed the idea of a universal symbol for anarchy. Similar to the uniforms for individuality found in many sub-sects of music. Always a fine paradox.
Jumper Falls
Written by craig coffman
I just watched the movie Jumper last night and thought it sucked. The premise was flimsy and nothing was ever really explained. Not that I need handheld guidance in this genre, but it does make the experience more believable. The biggest crime was in the very opening of them film. The character tells me, “I used to be normal. A chump like you.” Do I need to be degraded for electing to watch this film?
Can Hotshot Ad Guy Alex Bogusky Make Microsoft Cool? Nope.
Written by craig coffman
Fast Company last month featured this article asking a simple question: Can Alex Bogusky (pictured to the left) make Microsoft cool? Seems like a simple question. It has all the wonderings of a solid point-of-interest article. But, after reading it you are told the answer. No. He cannot.

John Rambo
Here is how we get out of Iraq, or any conflict: John Rambo. Man, that guy can still kick butt! He is 80 years old now and does this for free. Yeah, really! He does not take money for his service. Killing is in his blood. He can’t control it and, probably, needs us to help him release all the built up rage.
Wanted... a plot? Dialogue? Action? Okay, it has action.
Written by craig coffman
I just saw the movie Wanted and I left only wanting my money back. What a waste of time. The special effects were top notch, but everything after that was thin to non-existant. I do not go to action movies with high hopes for story line cohesion, but this was just horrible. I wish the voice track could have been muted, but let the SFX rumble. That would have been awesome.

Spain levels Germany in the Euro Cup
Written by craig coffman
I just watched Spain dismantle Germany today. All through the telecast, the announcers kept saying how Spain has been dubbed ‘The Underachievers’, but I did not see any hint of that. Instead, I saw the juggernaut Germany get served. Repeatedly. It was what I had expected in the end, a Spanish victory, but not such a decisive and resolute trouncing.
The Best Page in the Universe
Written by craig coffman
Many of you are already familiar with this site, but for those of you who have somehow missed out on it, I would like to introduce you to The Best Page in the Universe. Maddox, if that is his real name, is hilarious. His rants are merciless and pointed. But more than just being “controversal”, they are smart. Or smart-ass. Taking on topics from Puns to Crappy Children’s Art to the size of his balls, Maddox never disappoints.
Many Older octoberland Articles Now Available
Written by craig coffman
As mentioned in an earlier post, I have made some changes octoberland. All in all, I think for the best and it is still a work in progress. One of the biggest problems with this process is a loss of posts. The databases were just not working out. So, out of love for my readers, I manually copied and pasted numerous articles into this new site. As you look through, if you find missing / broken links please bring them to my attention. Enjoy your time in octoberland!
