Earth Hour 2009

Where the wild things are official trailer

The Spike Jonze adaptation of the classic children's book. Here is the official HD trailer and man I am excited for this one. I really think Jonze was a good choice for this movie. I hope it as good as the trailer makes it look

Woot! Woot! .com

Woot.com Is one of my new favorite time wasting sights. Here is the basic jist. Woot.com is an overstock site that puts up one item a day at midnight (central time) which it sells typically at a discounted price either until the following day or until their stock runs out, whichever comes first. A Woot Off is where once the first item sells out, they put up another one immediately, and keep going and going -- usually for days. It's addictive and fun and generally a great waste of time (and money, if you get suckered into buying something you probably don't need).

...has changed a lot since the last time I used it. You can now do a lot of editing to your pictures. I did this

Windy City Sould Clash

At the end of May this is where I will most likely be! Really looking forward to this weekend. Lots of good band and good people. I haven't been to Chicago in three years and I really miss the city, cultures and even the bums!



Today is St. Patricks day. Probably going to spend my night on Adams St. Clayton is bar tending at O.T. and Adam is very persistant, especially when he is drunk.

Wednesday there is a great show at Frankies Inner City
Street Dogs(which I don't dislike but am not really into) Swingin Utter(A great band that I am excited to see for the first time) Shot Baker( A band on Underground Communique records who are great live) and the Hometown boys Homeward Bound

In theory these next two days have the capability of being very sloppy.
Hopefully I will end up taking some pictures but I might be to lazy or out of my mind.

Cheers Matty

...if the GM van don't make it across the state line...

just got home from work

more later...now videos

Someone buy me this shirt

Its Tueday, March 10th, it is raining on and off and about 40 degrees. I think Im going to get out of the house in the next hour or so. Don't really have much of anything planned for the day. I really need to find some nail clippers though because my finger nails are getting out of control. I am also looking forward to having the weekend(or most of it) off of work. Well i have drawn a blank so I figure that's enough for now. By the way it is Chuck Norris' birthday.

Here's some locals

USMB

I thought it tasted a little funny

A bunch of mistranslated products, signs etc. you get the picture

Just woke up, have to work again tonight. I am looking forward to a couple days of and hopefully nice weather. Hopefully I can do something productive with my time off. More often than not this winter I found myself sleeping most of the day, even on my days off. This winter has seemed to suck the motivation right out of me. I went to Lee Marvins on Friday when it was so nice out. If its nice tomorrow maybe I'll cook something on the grill. who knows.

Anyway... sleep well and dream

Happy Daylight Savings-A gentleman never tells

So Im at work, the time just jumped ahead and hour. Besides being a little wet the weather this weekend was the best its been in what seems like forever. unfortunitely I have been working all of it. I was planning on going on my first bike ride of the new year but got tied up with other things. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday will be the day. In regards the that here is a picture I found tonight and though I would share.

Cheers

Video of the day March 5th 2009 / Hand Carved Animation by Mark Andrew Webber

From Juxtapoz online:

Mark Andrew Webber is a British artist who has been working on a piece based on the word "Dehisce" (definition: [biology] release of material by splitting open of an organ or tissue; the natural bursting open at maturity of a fruit or other reproductive body to release seeds or spores or the bursting open of a surgically closed wound) as part of a project for The Art of Lost Words.
This printed linomation (hand carved animation using linoleum prints), was done using 296 individual pieces of carved linoleum, all of which are a square 10cm each.
The video above shows the linoleum print version, melding all 296 pieces to make one cohesive filmstrip, while the bottom film features the carved version. Mark estimates the entire project took him around 500 hours to complete.



Band practice tonight then who knows.

Video of the Day-March 4th 2009/ Ben Nichols "The War"

I took this video at the Revival Tour in 2008. The show was at The Magic Stick in Detroit. It was a great show featuring Chuck Ragan(Hot Water Music) Tim Barry(Avail), Sundowner(Chris from Larry Arms) and more.
Enjoy

Ghosts in Mansfield

So I just found this picture that I forgot I took some time last year. I went down to mansfield Ohio with the Dirty Numbers. They were playing some coffee shop basement with Dave's friends Dangercat(Aaron & Gabe). It was pretty lame because a total of maybe 10 people actually showed up but we had fun partying all the same.

Anyway, to the point.. I took some pictures during the set and when i was reviewing them I noticed something strange. In one of the pictures there seems to be a face on Mikey(Masonic)'s left forearm and t-shirt area. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. There is nothing else in the picture that even somewhat resembles this object. Also, this was taken with a digital camera so there was no film to get tampered or smudged or anything of the sort. I still can't figure this one out. Any guesses?
The photo below has not been tampered with at all, except for the yellow box I placed in the photo so you can easily find the other image. The first is the original and second has the box..duh

Off With Their Heads!

If you haven't heard of this band well here they are

Its a punk band from Minneapolis with hard hitting riffs and great lyrics. Similar to the other twin city juggernaut Dillinger Four. I am going to Dayton May 9th to see them @ the Dayton Dirt Collective. Then possibly going up to Cleveland the next day where they will be playing at the Soggy Dog house.

Here is their video for the song "Fuck this I'm out"
