bonnaroo
In a few hours, I’m piling into an rv and heading to the Bonnaroo Music Festival for the weekend. Should be interesting.
BarCampRDU
I’ve signed up for BarCampRDU.
I’m not exactly a local tech celebrity, and I don’t really do anything interesting with technology, but what the heck.
There are certainly topics I would be interested in participating in, but not that much I would consider myself an expert in. Could talk about work stuff, but *yawn* system management *yawn*.
I see Jay claimed the last open spot before the waiting list ;->
down in it
Went to see the Bauhaus/Nine Inch Nails show last night. Not bad.
One odd thing was they wouldn’t let me in with the usb thumb drive I keep on my key chain. I had to take it back to the car. Lame.
Missed TV On The Radio, which was fine, since their cd didn’t really do anything for me. Bauhaus was pretty good, but kind of weird seeing as it was still daylight and I was ~100 yards away from the stage.
NIN was pretty good, though I really only know the stuff from singles and Pretty Hate Machine. Though, that did seem to make up about 3/4 of the set (at least Head Like A Hole, Down In It, Terrible Lie, maybe more buts it’s been a while since I listened to that album).
The Transformation Of Scotty Irving
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.

wheres my gorrila biscuits tape?
A friend of mine, “Mikeohfive”, just got his band End Of A Year signed to Revelations Records. I think that ups
his skaterat cred a touch. Congrats Mike.
Worse. Duo. Ever.
If you thought the grammy awards had reached the pinnacle of bad music with their endless onslaught of “boring popular artist featuing a special appearance by older still boring popular artist” performances, there seems to be a new contender.
So I flipped on the tv this morning. Flip though channels and stumbled upon yet another Santanna collaboration (this time with Steven Tyler). But that was just the warmup. Next up was what is hard for me to described in words. DMC featuring Sarah McLachlan performing “Cats In The Cradle”.
It’s even worse than you might think. There is the studio “hard rock” guitars. Then the super processed and Sarah McLachlan vocals. But thats nothing comparing to DMC rapping the verses. It makes my brain cry a little bit.
And just to top it off, heres the story behind the song. If there is a god, that will be the last time I ever hear that song. But theres no god, and I’ll probably have to here this crap for the next 3 months.
Visited my sister and brother-in-law and the new niece.
Watched the Super Bowl, but having no real strong opinion of either team (does anyone have a strong opinion of the Seahawks?) wasn’t overly enthused. Not a horrible game though.
Be aware. Fukadugalon is on the rise. The birds are picking up high levels of “chatter” from the aliens.
Yars, slight return.
An atari 2600 emulator for MAX/MSP/Jitter
Well sorta. It actually seems even weirder than that. Apparently you can send atari controller inputs generated
by max/msp (and therefore, generated by just about anything) to the emulator. Or something like that.
