It took 28 heart attack inducing minutes, but I finally got through to Ticketmaster and picked up four floor tickets for the Faith No More/Refused show in August. The show is the same night as the way overly priced Van Halen show which is more or less across the street that night. I think we made the right choice.
Laura ordered me this amazing drawing of my buddy Hesher. Tiffany knows this tattoo artist in the UK that does these pet portraits on the side. This finally came in the mail and its so bad ass.
I animated this opening title sequence for the Apollo Cinema. I animated some of the clips whenever I had some time to kill. I am constantly updating it whenever I have the time and inspiration to do so.
UPDATE: We went to see A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night the other night and I snapped a couple of grainy pics of my intro. It was so much better seeing it fill up the entire screen this time.
The new Built to Spill album cannot be released soon enough. The two tunes that have been released, and which I have already purchased from the iTunes, are pretty kick ass. The artwork, thankfully, is the best cover art in years from these guys. They had some of the best cover art ever (Perfect From Now On and Keep It Like a Secret), to truly some of the most horrible cover art I have ever seen (You In Reverse and There is no Enemy).
These are great.
These are NOT great.
This is good. Kitties!
I hope this Spill album will be able to get me out of the funk of disappointment that is the new Modest Mouse album. While the new MM has a handful of good songs, maybe 4. I was happy that Johnny Marr is no longer in the band (stop ruining my bands Marr! ie Cribs), it turned out Eric Judy leaving was a bigger deal than I expected. Another issue I have with the Mice, is that they seem to be in that mid And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead phase of their career. I miss the three piece. No one needs 9 band members, and two drummers.
