new toy
I bought a new toy.
Aka, a observed trials motorcycle. It’s rad.
It’s 290cc 2 stroke engine and two big grippy tires. And not much else. The whole bike weighs 150lbs.
You use it to climb over rocks. And logs. And small cars. And giant boulders. I will probably use it to fall down a lot.

reverse image hunting
anyone know a way to use google/yahoo etc to ask “show me all the pages that link to images off of this site”?
And on that note, a pet peeve. Web forums that set the referral link to be some generic link to the top of the forum, instead of a link to the post/thread that the link appears in.
It’s been a while since I looked though you tube
Talking Heads -Life During Wartime video bootlegg 1980 Featuring Adrian Belew. Awesome.
Adrian Belew (and David Bowie) – Pretty Pink Rose video
King Crimson – Easy Money live 1973, super low quaility
King Crimson – Sleepless video
King Crimson – Elephant Talk Live on “Fridays” in 1981. Awesome. Two of my favorite guitar solos back to back.
King Crimson – thela Hun Jineet From the same show. Great version of Thela.
Merzbow – live in korea
Merzbow – Minus Zero A Merzbow video? Sure, why not.
Killing Joke – Millineum
Killing Joke – 80’s (live>
Killing Joke – Money Is Not Our God
Killing Joke – A New Day. That video is so 80’s it hurts.
Geordie (from Killing Joke) in the studio
Rush – Fly By Night. So 70’s it hurts.
(This is a good point that I’ve thought that Geordie from Killing Joke and Alex from Rush shared some stylistic elements in their guitar playing. Mostly the use of suspended chords featuring lots of open strings, and heavy tones drenched in chorus. Granted, this isn’t a great example of a Rush song like that)
Rush – After Image. A better example of my above comment.
Dead Kennedys – California Uber Alles – Live
Primus – Welcome To This World over a Missy Eliot video. W.T.F
Primus – To Defy The Laws Of Tradition Ancient live version from a radio show.
Primus – Too Many Puppies
Screaming Jay Hawkins – I Put A Spell On You on Night Music
Bootsy Collins on Night Music
(The fact that “Night Music” isnt available on DVD, but “SuperNanny” is, is proof the world is not just)
Booker T and The MG’s – Green Onions. Totally. Bad. Ass.
Sun Ra’s verison of “Pink Elephants” from Dumbo with the video synced to his version.
“Some call me Mr. Ra… others call me Mr. Ree [mystery]”.
Fretless Guitar Festival. I have a fretless guitar. I’m a geek.
Mahivishnu Orchestra On “Don Kichsners Rock Concert”
Return To Forever – The Magician. Live.
Return To Forever – Space Circus
Return To Forever – ??
Return To Forever – Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy
Midnight Star – No Parking On The Dance Floor Electro much?
Midnight Star – Operator
Afrika Bambaataa – Planet Rock
Kraftwerk – Trans Europe Express. For comparions

misc
The internet is filled with annoying people.
I’m tempted to buy a trials motorcycle. Someone local is selling one. I have no place to ride one, and have never ridden one before. I might buy it anyway. Looks like fun if I could find a place to ride. But it Looks So Damn Cool..
weekend
Spent most of the weekend in Winston Salem. Went to check out Japan Air and Lake Trout. Excellent show.
Ended up driving half of Lake Trout and Japan Air around Winston Salem after the show. Since they were, un, slightly drunk. Just a touch.
Ran into them again at brunch. The drummer seems to be able to recite the entire script to “Fargo”.
Late getting home, and a an unintended nap.
