Put your bricks to use, man...



Ok this is very random, philosophical even. But this idea came to me today and it hits the nail on the head, if the nail is where I'm at in my life. I've accepted I can't stop making "bricks;" designing, making music, writing, etc. These things are part of who I am. What I have to stop doing is throwing these bricks on the lawn in random, half-formed useless piles. I need (fairly desperately) to start forming these bricks into something purposeful, a house, a path, a wall, a flower-bed for Pete's sake, SOMETHING.

I don't want to downplay inspiration or exploration as these are crucial to creative work, but right now I would give pints of blood to see my bricks start forming something other than a scattered mess. Now the hard part, setting out to do something about it... :)

Old School (meaning JBU) pics




My friend and frequent collaborator Kirk Demarais posted these pics he had from our college days of RAWK in the 90's at John Brown University. Good times man... Kirk has some web stuff up his sleeve with his archive of band fun, stay tuned!

Not sure who took these pics but:

1) is a bunch of us on a painted up car we hauled gear around with.

2) is Green Jello on Thursday (aka Tuesday Weld) practicing in Dean's house.

3) is Swivel Cherry rocking Theta Tau in Fayetteville, and

4) is Swivel Cherry in 80's costumes on the Life On The Edge cable access show JBU put on for awhile.

Last.fm, and some beautiful music

If you love music and you've never tried Last.fm you should, it's a music site that tracks what it's users are listening to on their Itunes and Ipod, and using that data provides amazing musical discoveries. To me, this is Web 2.0 at it's finest, taking masses of data and with it giving their users back a gift. Below I've embedded a "channel" that is based on similar artists to Sufjan Stevens, one of my favorites. Click to play it, realizing that the tracks it plays are considered similar to Sufjan based on the tracks other Last.fm users are playing. I find their recommendations to be super accurate, and I've discovered at least 15 bands using different channels. Of course Sufjan may not be your cup of tea, and that's great, you can listen to a "Music like Yanni" or "Music like The Pixies" channel too. Viva la Internet!
