Uncle Crizzle
Uncle Crizzle (originally Uncle Crizzle's Wide, Wild World of Pop; don't know when the name change happened) is a pop-culture blog I think some of you read. Whatever stuff that's happening in contemporary arts and entertainment that I find either great or goofy, I write a post and somebody out there gets a kick of it.
And now, for the first time ever, where the name "Uncle Crizzle" came from:
For some reason, when I started working here, I kept referring to myself as "Uncle Craig" in e-mails. During a dessert-filled, staff get-together, when somebody gave me one of those stick-on, blank name tags, I wrote "Crizzle." (Fans of "Chappelle's Show" may get the reference.) When N&O interactive came calling about doing a blog, I figured since no one is who they say they are online, why not call myself by another name. And that's when "Uncle Crizzle" was born.

It's A CRIZZLE'S CRITICAL CONDITION That's Too FUNKY For Words!!!
On this special musical edition of the Condition, I talk to Jason Woods, better known as Houston-based DJ/photographer/podcaster/renaissance man Flash Gordon Parks. We basically go back-and-forth on both movies and movie soundtracks, specifically why there doesn't seem to be any good, contemporary ones out there. We also indulge in one of my favorite recreational pastimes, called "Have You Heard of This?!," where me and Flash play choice snippets from some of our favorite soundtracks to each other. (And yes, the funky-beyond-belief theme from one of my favorite films makes an appearance.) You can also download it here.
FRIDAY: Talking about "Bruno," "Transformers" and "Harry Potter" — in that order — with a Fayetteville State University professor/film-festival drinking buddy.
