This one's for the haters

The title of this post is directed at one Fullalove who decided to take me off her regular blog-reading circuit and demote me to bi-weekly checking status. While you Photoshop fiends have been out lollygagging around on luckdragons, I've been patiently waiting for the delivery of a new keyboard, as my old one seems to have a serious issue when it comes to having liquid spilled on it. Who knew? So, Ms. Fuller, you can take me off your regular rounds, but think about what you might miss now that I've got a new keyboard. I dare you to not check this blog daily, I triple dog dare you.

It's nice to be back on the internet on my actual computer, rather than that toy of a laptop.

I've been taking pictures the last few weeks and I haven't shown them to anyone. I've got this affinity for photographing audio equipment. I just think it photographs well.


I was driving down Mesaba with my roommate a week ago and saw what was probably the coolest weather phenomenon I've come across in this town.


I really like the above photo. When I took it, it didn't look like it had turned out well when I previewed it on my camera, so I wrote it off. I'm happy with how it turned out, and it's more than likely destined for my desktop background.


Same subject, different composition. This one is less artsy, but it gives you a better idea of the scale of this fog-wall. Dan Sarles must have had his hands full.
Fuzzier picture taken while coming down mesaba. My roommate snapped this while extended halfway out the passenger side window while I was doing 20 with a line of traffic behind us.

And finally, this is the Glory Hole. It is real. There has been no photoshopping here. Look it up. It is awesome.

Expect more blogs this week. Who knows when I'll post again, you might have to check every day, Sarah Fuller.

---early end---

Yeah, I decided to end it early, no one was listening and I was feeling like garbage. I've had this sinus infection for at least a week and a half now and and the worst symptom by far is that I can't pop my ears. This makes for a very grouchy audio engineer, let me tell you. But since I'm pretty sure you (whoever you are) didn't hear the show, you'll have to check out these tracks on your own, or hit me up for them. I don't care who you are or if we've met before, send me an IM (claytron1313) and I'll shoot you any of these tracks that you want...unless you're the RIAA, in which case, look over there.

Some must-hear tracks

Check out the new DJ BC and the Beastles. He released a new album Let it Beast that's simply fantastic. It's the same style with a totally new set of excellent Beatles songs and Beastie Boys beats/lyrics.

Youngblood Brass Band. Wow, just listen to that one track. March. It hits like a train. Just ask and ye shall recieve.

Soul Coughing. You remember them right? Come on, go listen to them some more. They're good.

John Frusciante is amazing, and nine out of ten dentists agree. Be careful if you listen to Leap Your Bar once, because you will immediately listen to it again. And again. It only gets worse from there. It's such a powerful song, and the strain in his voice carries the lyrics "Life is so saaaaad, life is so saaaaad" straight through your heart. You. Have. To. Listen. To. It.
Get if from me, get it from Anniemosity, just get it. And then check out his other stuff. He's released something like 7 albums outside of RHCP.

Pink Floyd. Warning: May induce hallucinations in the unprepared. Turn the stereo up, sit between the speakers, and let all of Wish You Were Here play out. Yes, it's cliche, but cliches are cliches for a reason.

Finally, if you're into hip hop at all, you should check out 300 Bars by The Game. It's him rapping for 300 measure without a break, and it's jaw dropping. 300 measures comes out to about 14 minutes of non stop rapping. That 10th dentist who didn't like Frusciante? He's just too thug to like anything other than The Game.
