– David Mauro, whose website I won’t link to again due to his fear of ‘stalkers’, on why malspeak is not always okay.
Watchjessenovak: Akon Calls T-Pain — I worked on all the audio and music for this Olde English sketch, and I also played the voice of Akon! Dave Segal informs me that someone at Superdeluxe called him last month with the message that he had just watched the sketch with T-Pain and the singer was “laughing his ass off.” Jesse Novak is a smart genius.
Pals of Malz!
While my lurker attentive boyfriend may be the only one who comments here, this weekend I had an average of 30 readers a day with a lot of people from countries whose names I can not even pronounce! Congratulations, yourpalmal blog, you are taking up space on the interweb!

This week I was asked to help name both a pre-existing art collective and a soon to be born chiptunes zine. I’m voting “Big Black Butts” for both, hoping that at least one of them gets that name, if not both. It’s either that or “Pizza Party!” otherwise I’m going home.

– Rjyan Kidwell, in private conversation (which seems to be no longer so private via jakoblodwick) It is weird for me dating someone whose favorite bands were putting out records when I was listening to Raffi and Popples Sing-A-Longs.
My muxtape!
HTML lets me embed my muxtape into my tumblr! How convenient. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look pretty under my webspace’s welcome mat so I decided to make this an entry instead. So far this is my tenative songlisting. It started out as songs that made me feel good about the internet and then became songs that just make me feel good and then they hugged eachother, dropped off the...
Hello Paradise Radio →
There’s a new show surfing the e.m. waves of your modem and this is my invitation to you to tune in this Sunday afternoon and at that time into the future. Sunday from noon to 2 (right this minute!) my lovely ex-boyfriend Jared E. hosts “Hello Paradise” on wnyu. A radio show which he describes as “about a place that’s an idea. live from manhattan island: an internet...
“Over 40 million people a day are sexually involved with the Internet.”
– Channel 14 preacher I don’t even know who just revealed that the internet is cheating on me.
Dancer Risks Everything (The Onion) →

You can now play Bioshock in real life!
“Researchers in California have developed an artificial muscle that heals itself and generates electricity. ‘We’ve made an artificial muscle that, when you apply electricity to it, it expands, more than 200 percent, the motion and energy is a lot like human muscles,’ said Qibing Pei, a scientist at UCLA and study author. The researchers used flexible carbon nanotubes as...
oh, SXSW?
Yesterday I got back from the lovely state of Texas, in which I attended the 4-day South by Southwest Music Festival. Following suit with Spin magazine announcing Vampire Weekend the best band of the year in only January (whom by the way I saw live this week), I’m pretty sure my 6 days in Austin were the best I will have all of 2008. I can’t really fathom anything topping seeing of...

– Compared with this except from yet another memory lane message I also received today from someone who meant a lot more to me than other people did at one point in time: “hi mal, long long time no speak. ive got a sort of odd message for you but i just thought i should send it anyways. im...

Malz Mailbox pt. 4
Today I got an e-mail from e-bay urgently notifying me that I had “zero bids ending soon!”
Today in its entirety was Arthur and the Tale of the No Good Awful Really Bad Day (only I am not in the advance reading circle of my kindergarten class anymore.) Today I: woke up too early, arrived too late, sat in pink paint, broke the new necklace I bought with money I’d saved for the occasion, felt ugly and uncomfortable, was refused kisses, was offered a great job I had to refuse due...
