My friend, formerly known as Crow, now known as married, with step-kids, has reached an epiphany in the latter years of his life.  He needs a Mustang. In order to do this he only needs to do two things, grow a ponytail and raise about $30,000.  That’s it.  The ponytail part he’s doing on his own.  However, for the money… (more…)

Mike Farris & The Roseland Rhythm Review

This is a rarity, a two bagger of bands I enjoyed hearing for the first time.  I pitied the band following The Felice Brothers.  People at the Master Musicians Festival generally reward creative bands.  We generally tend to sit content for good bands that aren’t.  This was a two-stage set-up.  The other band was meandering around the stage while The… (more…)

The Felice Brothers

Lately it seems I’ve been complaining a lot about modern performers.  I’m not even going to use the term musicians.  Too many bands don’t make any effort to be original.  They stick with the same instruments, some not at all.  They have degrading lyrics, a bad message if any, and make no attempt whatsoever to make their music, product, unique. … (more…)

However, what’s starting to happen a little here and there is… (more…)

How many these make a rocket fire singly?

moar funny pictures I bought that bad Engrish box of rockets.  They obviously can make fireworks a lot better than they can speak English.  That’s all I really ask for. Other than enjoying our celebration of my nation’s independence from tyranny by spending a billion dollars on Chinese fireworks, this is what it’s all about:

Proper ad placement, Burger King edition

A week ago I did a post on the new Burger King ad.  It just kinda struck me as misguided and sophomoric.  A lot of people agreed with me.  Great concept for a porn flick, bad for traditional advertising.    Which all this threw me back a while, to June 21, 2006 to be exact.  Gotta wait for the fuzzy wavy… (more…)
