Kinoma Notes

Con­tin­u­ing a fine tra­di­tion by the elves at Kinoma, hol­i­day music is once again avail­able in Kinoma Guide!

Reports are that you’ve been very good, so for the rest of the year you can enjoy 23 sta­tions of Christ­mas and Hanukkah music wher­ever you are with Kinoma Play.

So where do I find this jolly music?

It’s all avail­able in Kinoma Guide in Music > Hol­i­day Music. So install your favorite hol­i­day wall­pa­per, tape red and green cel­lo­phane over the lights on your phone, attach antlers to your head­phones and enjoy.

Happy hol­i­days!

It’s our fond­est hope that you and yours have a safe, peace­ful, and joy-filled hol­i­day season.

(If you have some other favorite hol­i­day music streams we should inclulde, just let us know and we’ll be glad to add them.)

This Feb­ru­ary, we had the plea­sure of intro­duc­ing you to The Nerdist. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, that pod­cast is basi­cally Chris Hard­wark talk­ing about stuff and things with his two nerdy friends.

They’re often joined by some­one more famous — recent guests include Bryan Cranston, Jeri Ryan, Simon Pegg, Neil Gaiman and Sir Patrick Stew­art.

If you don’t know at least a cou­ple of those names, that’s a rea­son­ably good indi­ca­tor that The Nerdist isn’t for you. But…

What’s new?

…over the last few months The Nerdist has been joined by other great shows, at least one of which is sure to tickle your fancy.

• The Indoor Kids — The Indoor Kids is all about the kind of lifestyle you have to lead in order to be a proper Gamer, cap­i­tal G. Join your hosts as they take a jour­ney from child­hood Shi­nobi obses­sions up through the best and worst video game adap­ta­tions of movies.
• Mak­ing It – Riki Lind­home talks with peo­ple in the enter­tain­ment indus­try about how they got their careers. There’s no road map for show busi­ness and everyone’s story is dif­fer­ent, so Riki inter­views peo­ple about how they started, how they’ve kept it going and what they’ve learned along the way.
• The Nerdist — Nerdy nerd­ness com­edy pod­cast with Chris Hard­wick, Jonah Ray & Matt Mira.
• Nerdist Writ­ers Panel — An infor­mal chat with pro­fes­sional writ­ers about the process and busi­ness of writ­ing. Cov­er­ing TV, film, comic books, music, nov­els, and any other kind of writ­ing about which you’d care to hear.
• The Ques­tio­nauts — Impro­vis­ing over-confident (and under-accurate) answers to lis­tener questions.
• Sex Nerd San­dra — Sex. We do it. It’s a thing. Now let’s talk about it! Sex edu­ca­tor and Nerdist blog­ger Sex Nerd San­dra delves deep into the end­lessly fas­ci­nat­ing world of human sex­u­al­ity and pleasure.
• The Todd Glass Show — Come­dian Todd Glass and friends talk about stuff.

Guys often get short-shrift when it comes to learn­ing about cloth­ing and style. It’s gen­er­ally not a topic that guys talk about together, so most of us just learn what lit­tle they know by observ­ing friends and co-workers.

So if your peers aren’t paragons of style, where do you go?

Thank­fully, now there are shows like Put This On. It teaches guys “how to dress like a grownup” in the pri­vacy of your own home — or when you watch with Kinoma Play, the pri­vacy of your own phone!

Inter­est­ing, what will I learn?

Sea­son 1 has included such prac­ti­cal infor­ma­tion as:

• How to dress for your body type
• Dress­ing tips from menswear experts
• Tips on groom­ing, such as the proper way to do a clas­sic wet shave
• How to buy and care for jeans from a denim expert
• How to care for and shine shoes
• How to dress for job interviews

And last but not least…

• Hear Lyn­don John­son order pants (an amaz­ing record­ing from LBJ’s Presidency)

Where can I find it?

You can find Put This On in the Guide under Arts & Cul­ture > Beauty & Style. Or just search for “Put This On”.

Enjoy!
