One Way Static contacted me about creating a video for their upcoming release of the Cannibal Ferox soundtrack.  I wanted to try something slightly different this time so I went for a retro music infomercial type video.  One Way Static seems to really like the idea so I ran with it.  I think it turned out pretty fun.

Saturday afternoons with Romeo Sex Fighter are back.  We all hit up Cork Hall, which is the spare room in McCabes Saturday afternoon to pound some drinks, and celebrate Mank's Birthday (Mank showed up as the band was playing their one encore song).  The turn out was huge!  Our group alone must have been 20 people or so.  Great times, and amazing tunes.  After the show we hit Frankies for a drink then I had to leave and walk home so we could meet up with Jeremy.  Jeremy's birthday was this weekend as well so we hit up the Boner house for drinks and games and laughs.  Good times all around.

Momma and Pappa Bonner were there too, and they were a big hit.

Tony, Eddie and I got into a conversation about what our favourite year for tunes was.  I have always personally loved 1994 as some of my favourite albums and bands were putting out releases around that time.  It helped that I was 12 years old, and everything I heard was blowing my mind at the time.  Some of the classic albums that were put out that year came from bands like Nirvana, Pavement, Guided By Voices, Sebadoh, The Jesus Lizard, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Silver Jews, Nine Inch Nails, Beck, Beastie Boys, Change of Heart, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Folk Implosion, Hole, Green Day, Killjoys, Oasis, Offspring, Thrush Hermit, Weezer, Ween, Veruca Salt, etc.

Tony came up with the idea of listening to nothing but albums and songs from 1994 all weekend, and I am game.  I woke up and threw on Crooked Rain, because I cannot think of a better song to open up a marathon of music from 1994 than with Silence Kit.

I made a pile of tunes that will be spinning at the Serpentine Pad all weekend.

Cranking 1994 in the Hybrid too!

Last night I made some oven fried chicken, only because I found a posting online of the 10 herbs and spices used in the famous KFC seasoning.  I thought I would give it a shot and it tasted pretty good.

I found this on a YouTube video I believe.  My apologies for not giving credit to the original poster.




 



That awesome site 101Cooking For Two taught me to oven fry chicken.  Just some butter in a pan, and 20 minutes per side.  This tastes really good actually, and I don't have to worry about a giant pot of oil.






It was pretty not bad.  Word of the wise though!  If you cook inside the stove with your pan, please make sure you REMEMBER that it was in there for an hour before you grab it by the handle.  Otherwise your hand will fucking hurt for the next 24 hours or so.  Ask me how I know....

I have uploaded a good chunk of my Drive-In intermission ad collection to the YouTubes.  I use these whenever I make a drive-in double feature that we play in our backyard during the summer time.  I collected these clips for two years now, and I used my after effects skills to kind of "clean" them up a little bit, and fix the audio.  Click HERE to go to The Serpentine Pad Drive-In!
