New HQ

I've spent the past several days moving into a new 1br house. Just renting. I'm excited to have no wannabe techno dj neighbors on the other side of the wall. Stop on by for a visit. The orange tree outside of my bedroom window is full of oranges right now.

It is the end of the year and time to look back on the music of 2008. This is my list of the 25 albums released in 2008 that made an impression on me. This week i will reveal 5 albums a day counting down to number 1. Each set of 5 will include a mix of sample songs from the albums you can download. This first mix includes a bonus song by Little Joy which probably should have made the top 25.

25. THE SWORD - Gods Of The Earth

Yes!

Our worst President ever gets 2 shoes thrown at him during a press conference in Iraq. Apparently this is a big insult in Iraqi culture. Isn't there something more insulting than throwing a shoe? Bush deserves more.

Tilt-Shift Time-Lapse

Here is a cool video by Keith Loutit. He uses a tilt-shift lens and time-lapse photography to put a new perspective on a monster truck show.

Desert Pics

On my trip to Tempe, AZ last weekend I spent some time in Sonoran Desert National Monument and Joshua Tree National Park and got these shots.

Late Last Saturday Night In Tempe, AZ

Killed Palm Trees

Driving back from Phoenix, AZ yesterday I stopped in Desert Center, CA to check out several small groves of palm trees that appear to have been slaughtered. It was like some sort of palm tree crime scene or an epic palm tree battle had just taken place and this was the aftermath. There were circles of dead and decapitated palms which seemed like palm tree Stonehenges. It was beautiful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful that this is the last Thanksgiving under the rule of the Bush Administration. May America and the world never be subjected again to an American President as bad as George W Bush.

Saturday Night At The Hollywood Palladium

OF MONTREAL

Another great show from Of Montreal. Even more theatrical than ever. More actors/performers than members of the band. Constant costume changes. Crazy antics including a lynching, a barroom brawl, and dancing Buddhas. The oddest thing to me was their decision to close the show with covers of Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirt". That caught me off guard.
