Finally tracking down that song you heard one time on the radio

Sometime during my freshman year of college (I'm dating myself but this was 2003), I was home visiting my parents for a weekend and I heard part of a song on the radio. I think the station was WUIN ["The Penguin"] or a cultural predecessor to WUIN and it was before the time when you could easily find station playlists online.

Anyway, I hear this acoustic-type song with female vocals and the words "Oh, my baby". A few months later I emailed the station to see if they knew what I was talking about and they offered a song that fit the description but wasn't really what I was looking for.

That song was "Right in Time" by Lucinda Williams and she became one of my favorite artists ever.



So I still thought about that other song periodically but now it's the end of 2011. I share a lab with another woman, and we take turns picking out radio stations or podcasts to listen to at work. Sometimes we listen to the Yahoo! Radio coffee house mix. A couple weeks ago, I heard "Come to Jesus" by Mindy Smith playing and IT WAS THAT SONG.



I haven't really listened to commercial radio since high school except for that one summer where I worked in a greenhouse and I listened to [100.7 The River], so apparently I missed the moderate success of Mindy Smith.

But yeah, I've experienced a rare kind of resolution and I keep thinking about Little Pete and how he never found that band again.

Oxhorn Brand Media, you blits

Oxhorn, also known as [Brandon M. Dennis], is a machinima animator and musician and other stuff.

So if you play WoW at all, it's likely that you've seen this video:



But there's so much more! There's a main storyline that starts with "Inventing Swear Words". What I like about it is that is stars TAUREN. And LADY TAUREN.



There's much music. In one of the videos, a character proposes to another by asking her to "forever pwn those noobs" with him. So cute!

I had the extreme pleasure of going to a panel by Oxhorn at Dragon*Con this year.

So many levels

From Colour Lovers: Holton Rower's 'Pour' Series

Way cool!

tl;dr is paint poured onto the middle of a structure or canvas and it runs down. It's kind of similar to the [rainbow cake] process.

Featured on the [ColourLovers.com] entry:

[Holton Rower] pours paint over a custom "canvas" of boxes and panels, one color on top of the other. The result is somewhat psychedelic but this kinetic-process created work is anything but one-dimensional.
