Who Is Imogen Gray? - A Leap Year Day Mystery

Update: I'm not sure if I just completely missed the boat or if something has changed, but the name on the email is Imogen Reed, not Imogen Gray. Weird. There is, of course, an easy way to answer that question. It involves replying to an email. There is also a hard way. I'm choosing the latter, due to my desire to fill some space and amuse myself. I received an email today from someone calling themselves Imogen Gray. First off, nice name. With a name like that, you have to become a writer, a porn star, the editor of an underground blog about your favorite aboveground parking lot band (it's like a garage band, only you've probably never heard of it because you're old), or take on an alter-ego as a supervillain intent on destroying the world. Note: I'm going to refer to this person as a woman in the rest of this piece because it gets all awkward otherwise. Here's the text of the email from imogen@linegray.com, with the subject "Professional C

My Newest Project - Yeah But What Else

Last month, I started a new project with a good friend. The story behind the website is simple. I'd been playing with a question about music: what if one hit wonders actually had some music that was great, but was overshadowed by the success of their one hit? What if they were actually ahead of their time, and looking back at their music from the future we'd see that genius? Scott is one of the biggest music-ophiles (totally a word, trust me) I know, and when we were pitching ideas about doing something creative together it stuck. And thus was born yeahbutwhatelse . Every Friday we've been posting a review where we go back and listen to the full album from a One Hit Wonder (OHW), where we listen to every song except the hit. Sometimes there are songs we both liked. Sometimes neither of us liked the same songs. And sometimes it's very hard to find something to love. We love the attention and the feedback, so please check it out and leave a comment. It can only help us

Spirit-ed Away

Went to the movies for the first time in ages, and saw "Spirit Untamed". For those of you who may be unfamiliar, this is a movie based on a Netflix show "Spirit Riding Free". This, in turn, is based on a movie "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" (which positively rolls off the tongue). But not actually. The show is based on a single character from the original movie. But not really. The titular character is Spirit, a wild horse in the Old West, and these are the stories of his adventures. But, again, not so much. Only the first movie is actually about the horse and his adventures. The show and the new movie include Spirit, but more as a supporting character for the real hero, a young girl named Lucky. She and Lucky have lots of adventures together and learn important lessons. Or, stay with me, do they? Lucky, at the very least, grows as a character. We can't really be sure what the deal is with Spirit. He's the narrator of the first film, voiced
