Congrats to $trick9 and the White Poison team for their 48 Hr Film Fest submission. “Insertion” was the finest film to screen in the metro. If you haven’t already seen it, you should. It’s the best 10 minutes of your life. I’d share the link, but I’m too phased from a week of hardcore PCP usage. Still, in all its glory, it puts anything else you could possibly view to shame…including those home movies your mama shot of you as a kid.

If any of you know me, you know that my two favorite bands are Tool, Black Label Society and Mastodon. Mastodon filled the void left between Tool albums. And you also know that I’ll travel a bit to see them.
So, a while back, I started to troll on Mastodon’s forum. Most of the time, I really don’t have that much to contribute to the conversation, but I like to keep a watch on potential collectibles for sale, etc, etc.
People should be in an absolute uproar about the Tea Party. If you’re a Republican or even a moderate Conservative, it would do you a world of good to distance yourself from these lunatics. The Tea Party is essentially the 21st Century Klan and if you can’t see that for yourself, you might want to remove your hood.

Seriously. And the blood should rest on this groups collective hands. One of these “get-togethers” will end up bloody, because:
A. The people involved with the tea-party movement are ignorant bigots who are asking for it, and
B. Because no one expects it to get this out of hand.
But, it will.
I’d suggest sane-minded individuals take it upon themselves to kick a Tea Bagger in the bean bag whenever you encounter one. If you can’t shut ‘em up, maybe you can help prevent them from spreading their genetic code.
Day 1 comes to a close for tracking a new Sweet Mighty Moses song. I’m keeping a few of the details under wraps until a later date (when its finished), but that won’t be too long.
Here’s what I’ve accomplished thus far today. Drums tracked. Bass tracked, rhythm guitars done. Tomorrow, I’m looking at vocals and guitar leads. (Also, prolly some more BBQ.) Then, a mix and I should be ready to release it. If its good, and it will be, I may do a video for it.
Ready for day 2.
Happy Black Friday, y’all
That’s all we’re saying right now. Stay tuned for a new development on Friday.
If you have a free moment this week, check out the new Dead Horse Trauma album “Infestation”. It just hit the streets after an amazing CD release party Saturday night at House of Bricks.
Generally, I think of myself as a relatively progressive individual, but recently, I’ve noticed myself slipping farther and farther into my retro-grouchy ways.
For example, I got a supped-up iPhone a few months ago. I really thought it was going to be some sort of spiritual experience. As it turns out, I could care less about being that connected. The Dukeberry was bad enough, but I found myself less and less interested with the entire micro-screen connectivity experience.
For me, a phone is a phone. I value the clarity of the call and the ability for the phone to hold the call even if I roll under a canopy of trees.
So, I’m sitting here on the fence. Do I retrograde back to my old RAZR, or do I keep suffering along with the iPhone, dropping calls and letting unused data plan bites chip away at me for the next unforeseen future?
Worst case scenario, you’ll see a sweet iPhone hitting Craigslist with all the goodies for a bargain basement price.
News Flash: Trooper shoots family dog.
Apparently trooper Michael Current shot a neighbors dog after work.
1. Why does anyone let cops take their damn guns home?
2. Who shoots a dog? Really!
I think it would be better to shoot a trooper than a dog. But, that’s just me. And I figure, you only shoot something that can shoot back.
BTW, I got caught in the middle of that bank robbery absurdity that went down today. The feeling of being in the midst of a half dozen idiots drawing guns is a helluva rush. Seriously, who gives these people guns. The sight of 5 of the black and blue chasing a fat, border-line-homeless guy down was well worth the potential of catching a stray slug in the chest. Good day to wear a vest, I’d say. Good day.
