Here they are performing their song "Halloween." I have this on VHS at home and, believe it or not, the quality of the sound and video is worse than this clip...
Maudite is French or Canadian or something for "the damned one". It's kind of a misnomer. Granted, it's high on the ABV, but this stuff still tastes delicious. Nice and floral and tight, it's what I used as a complement to my dessert. Definitely did the trick.
Once I got home, I surveyed my fridge and grabbed something on the lighter side. What I ended up with was a Goose Island Demolition Ale. It's got a golden color, but a bit of a flat/grassy finish taste wise. Not bad but not exceptional.
Now I'm wrapping the night up with a nice light Belgian blonde ale that's not too complex but seems to hit the sweet spots on the tongue. I bought a six pack of this a few weeks ago and am still surprised to find bottles in my fridge. Not a bad thing.
OK, time to wrap this up and hit the sack. Tomorrow night I have a bachelor party so I'm sure it will be full of overpriced domestics. Stayed tuned until the next time.
as of now, 9:26 CST, i can't access google. but i can write this and gmail works. But no gsearch, gcalendar, or greader. Have the Terrorists won? Or maybe comcast figures it can really speed up it's servers if it blocks google.
This is a damn Hot calculator from Industrial Facility (sorry for the flash site). It was in the ID new and notable issue that i got today. Oddly, it can also connect to a computer for usb - useful for those spreadsheet sessions on the beach with your lappy.
I had one. Alas, the cool, metal old ones are like $100 on ebay.
i wish someone would make a cool, new one, like one of those bright colored plastic bracelet type watches. it could have little buttons on top, and red led's right under the skin of the plastic.
I used to have one that was a calculator watch AND a transformer. I thought it was the coolest. It looked kinda like this, but with a calculator on the torso.
I pulled this illustration off the banner from perezhilton.com (it constantly changes, so you may have to browse around -you know you want to- till it pops up.) It's a exact likeness, even down to the shine.
Every day on the way to work i get to ride through loring park. That's a pretty cool thing, to be able to get this hint (tiny hint) of nature before you hit the city (tiny city).
Anyway, as i was riding through loring part thinking about that today, a guy walked from behind a bush and barked at me.
Recently, the Foo Fighters performed at the "VMA Fantasy Suite" (whatever that is) and played a Dead Kennedys cover with System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian. The result was outstanding. The Foo Fighters rock out hard and Serj nails the vocals perfectly. I always thought he had drawn some of his vocal inspiration from Jello Biafra, so I was incredibly excited to see this (thanks to Kelly K). One lyric change: the nefarious "N" word has been substituted with "brothas." I think that was definitely a smart move.

This was awesome, but it would have been cool to see them cover "MTV Get Off the Air" or "Pull My Strings" for the "VMA Fantasy Suite" crowd.
HA! There's one sound tech that is as sure as fired. I'm glad I checked out your info link on this. I'm tickled to know that he couldn't transpose to a different key. He just had to sit there reeking on stage. No heroism that day...
After having this idea for years, I finally carved the Misfits logo (AKA the Crimson Ghost) in a jackolantern. I used a scraping technique which allows light to glow through the pumpkin rind. Tamie carved a cool pumpkin too.
The bassist from White Williams contacted me via flickr the other day and asked if he could use some of my photos for their pitchfork tour diary. Looks like they used one. One of Dan Deacon anyway. Bastard gave me no props though.
Okay, this doesn't count as an official installment of my exclusive TackleAction! Guitar Hero Series because Stan's Friend is not real. He's a cartoon... But damn, this made me laugh out loud and throw the horns into the air. Plus this is a nod to Robert Johnson. From what I hear, the Devil can't play guitar very well at all.
My mom sent me some forwarded email that was totally ridiculous evening news sensationalism... so i wrote this to her and hope she sends it to her friends:
LIGHTNING CAN STRIKE ANYWHERE!!!!!!
BE CAREFUL! DARK CLOUDS WILL ELECTROCUTE YOU! DO NOT GO OUTSIDE WHEN THERE ARE DARK CLOUDS IN THE SKY. TO BE SAFE, YOU SHOULD ONLY GO OUTSIDE WHEN THERE IS A PERFECTLY CLEAR BLUE SKY. ALSO, AT NIGHT YOU CAN'T ALWAYS SEE CLOUDS AND CAN'T CHECK IF THEY ARE DARK. SO DO NOT GO OUTSIDE AT NIGHT! MY FRIEND LOST HER MOTHER TO ELECTROCUTION, DON"T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU OR ONE OF YOUR LOVED ONES!
The Amadana LC 104 could fill the hole the ET66 created, AND it looks like it's still being produced. You can buy it for me here. The site wasn't super easy to use (kept asking me for a password), but it looks like for about $85 (shipped) and an email to resolve the site login thing, you could make a Paul happy.
Their site says this guy's available at the MOMA store, but i couldn't find it online. Otherwise, it looks like Japan is the best place to get it.
I'm pretty bored, so here are a few other things i'm doing:
Getting into Quicksiver. It's a pretty awesome way of accomplishing file related tasks for the mac. I was able to just click on that Colbert .mp3 file on my desktop and then push a few keys and quicksilver threw the file onto this site.
I've been listening to the audiobook version of I AM AMERICA! (AND SO CAN YOU!), i can only assume it's always supposed to be yelled. In the chapter about old people there is a hidden message in the form of a reversed snippet of speech. I used it as an excuse to play with audacity.
I really wanted to make this autoplay, but decided against it. for the children.
Ii was unable to use the internets to ascertain who said this. But after some help someone said "I think w.c. fields said it." upon which a search told me that Mark Twain in fact said it. And that was apparently cause people thought he was dead.
However, all this new knowledge has done little to explain why you wrote this.
I got an sudden, undying urge to get a calculator from reading an article in ID Wallpaper about the Braun et66. I just love this thing (and apple does too!). I've been looking for it, but have had a hell of a time finding one.
I ended up getting this. It's pretty cool, but i don't think it's built especially well - and the photo doesn't reveal how shiny the thing is - which i'm not too happy about.

I was wondering why. Now I understand. Good call, Dan. Harry is something I'm not crazy about seeing. Nor am I crazy about being seen seeing Harry... I'm just crazy.
There’s a promising start with a swift left hook that literally ‘knocks the bottle’ out of Fabiano who retaliates with what can only be likened to doing the front crawl.
I just love me new Canon G9. It has this Time Lapse thing on it, and me and kelly were checking it out. Also, we've been enjoying trying to take cool macrophotos.
I like me some Scandinavian rock. The guitarist/vocalist can be seen here drumming for his old band Entombed. He quit to focus on the Hellacopters. Good career move, I think.
The NYC skyline as seen in a photoshop histogram. Ironic Sans has an explaination of how this is done.
Here's an image recreated from sound waves. Details on the process are explained by bastwood.com along with some other examples. This particular sound wave was mixed into the ending of an Aphex Twin song. I guess this is not difficult to do (or cutting edge for that matter). I think it is creative and interesting.
Brand New has hilarious-if-you-like-design-humor instructions on how to make your own new paypal logo from the old logo. Also, on brand new: the terrible new Photoshop logo, i kinda feel like it's a joke.
Dethklok of Adultswim's Metalocalypse is coming to the University of Minnesota to perform live! At first I was puzzled, "How can animated characters tour and play a live show?" The answer: They can't. But some dudes can play their music anyways. Regardless, I'm going cuz it's free and the headliner is Trail of Dead. Brutal...
