Hello again, and welcome to the Apology Mixtape. Every so often, One of our contributors will let their MP3 player play a few songs on random, and then post them here along with an apology to whomever they see fit, for whatever purpose they see fit. That’s the idea. Enjoy.
Dear Jim Henson,
I’m sorry you’re dead, wherever you are. …Continue reading this entry
In the summer before my first year of high school, everything changed for me musically. After years of listening to album after album of Christian ska, punk, and hardcore, I finally started to branch out. I discovered Brit-pop via internet radio stations; bands like Pulp, Muse, and Blur. I started to listen to more of The Beatles and less of The Insyders (if you don’t know, don’t bother, they didn’t stand the test of time anyway). …Continue reading this entry
Have you ever had a day when everything just seemed to pile up on your back? When life handed you a big basketful of lemons, and there was no sugar and water to be found? When, after you’ve eaten your mediocre lunch and been through the first half of your mediocre day you’ve wanted nothing more than to wrestle up all of your problems, throw down your lunch, get up on the table and sing?! …Continue reading this entry

Dearest readers,
I have been an absentee poster to our dear website for a few weeks now, but I assure you I have been hard at work on future material for your reading and listening pleasures.
In my temporary absence, please take solace in the knowledge that I am thinking of you.
In the spirit of such thought, I was driving to university this morning with my iPod on shuffle, and by its tiny electronic divine providence it provided me with a perfect playlist – one that I would like to share with you today. …Continue reading this entry
In which something is so terribly composed that it is beyond consideration as a disgrace to its respective artistic form in favor of being considered instead a rare work of brilliance in its ability to fail the aspirations of its medium, e.g. A review of Dennis Rodman’s Autobiography, “Bad As I Wanna Be”.

Laramie, Wyoming – A long-term study has finally yielded some solid results. According to Dr. Andres Welk of the Scientific Institute for Social Equality “It’s true. Everyone’s crap really does stink the same.” Over the past four years he and a distinguished group of scientific researchers have been working on a study of perceptions and factual data regarding the smells of fecal matter across differing cultures, socio-economic demographics, and most recently, political groups. …Continue reading this entry
Prediction: Approximately a week from now, perhaps sooner, there is going to be a war. Not a serious one, but an internet-based, opinion fueled FaceBook mud-sling between people arguing that Inception is either “the best film ever” or “a complete waste of time”. The arguers claiming that it is the best film ever will likely be hobbled by a severe deficiency of knowledge of classic cinema. …Continue reading this entry
Cat and Girl is one of my all time favorite webcomics for many reasons. It has the philosophical wit of Calvin and Hobbes (a favorite since childhood), the strong social commentary of Doonesbury (without being incredibly boring, like Doonesbury), and enough quirk and pop-culture referencing to satisfy even the most seasoned culture-lover – some so obscure that I don’t understand them and have to look them up in shame. …Continue reading this entry
I don’t consider myself a deeply sentimental person. But then, no one who is deeply sentimental does. I’m a deeply sentimental person. I fight myself. I’m no stranger to heavy hits of emotion, both legitimate and bastardized. Knots in my throat, heat in my ears, stones and butterflies in my stomach in equal proportions,that sort of thing. …Continue reading this entry
