I’ll be heading up to Mom and Dad’s tonight to beat the snow so I probably won’t post anything until the after the first of the year so:
and to anyone who doesn’t celebrate Christmas:
Kiddie Records
In 2005, Basic Hip Digital Oddio will feature an entire year of albums from the golden age of kiddie records, lovingly transferred from the original 78s and encoded to 192kbps MP3 format. That’s one a week for 52 weeks!
THE PURPOSE
We believe people from around the world and of all ages will be delighted to hear these records. Not many folks these days play 78s or share this type of recording online. Chances are you’ve never heard them and if you have, it’s been a long, long time. They are nostalgic, entertaining and just plain fun. The colorful covers are beautiful works of art.
THE GOAL
Someday soon these records will be altogether forgotten and we think that’s a shame. Our mission is to give these wonderful old recordings a new lease on life.
THE ARCHIVE
All year long you will be able to access 32kbps streams and cover scans of all records used in the project. Please note that 192kbps MP3s of each record will only be available during the week it is featured.

Someday I’ll do this ;)
I’m on a Robert Rodriguez kick this weekend and have watched the whole El Mariachi “Trilogy” (El Mariachi, Desperado, and Once Upon a Time In Mexico) In Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Johnny Depp’s character always orders the same dish in every “dive” he goes to. “El, you really must try this because it’s puerco pibil. It’s a slow-roasted pork, nothing fancy. It just happens to be my favorite, and I order it with a tequila and lime in every dive I go to in this country. And honestly, that is the best it’s ever been anywhere. In fact, it’s too good. It’s so good that when I’m finished, I’ll pay my check, walk straight into the kitchen and shoot the cook. Because that’s what I do. I restore the balance to this country. And that is what I would like from you right now. Help keep the balance by pulling the trigger. ” One of the extra features on the DVD is Robert Rodriguez’s “10 Minute Cooking School” where he gives the recipe to Puerco Pibil. If I can ever find all the ingredients, I’ll have to try it. Read on for the recipe.Puerco Pibil from Once Upon a Time In Mexico

What am I?
Accorind to these definitions, those of us born in 1978 and 1979 or left out. 
Generation Y. This generation, also tagged the millennial generation and the echo or boomlet generation, includes those born between 1980 and 2000. Generation Y is the most ethnically diverse generation yet and is more than three times the size of generation X. Gen Y teenagers have an average of $100 per week disposable income, and 40 percent of them hold at least a part-time job. One in four lives in a single-parent household and three out of four have working mothers.
Generation X. Generation X is a label applied to young adults who were born between 1965 and 1977. Originally tagged with a reputation of being selfish slackers, this generation has matured and is known for strong family values. While baby boomers strove to do better financially than their parents, gen Xers are more likely to focus on their relationship with their children.
Baby boomers. Born between the years of 1946 and 1964, baby boomers make up the largest segment of the U.S. population. By 1995, 80 percent of baby boomers had children living with them. Today, those on the leading edge of the boomer generation are becoming grandparents.
