More like 10,000 verses long...

New song, "I was Born 10,000 Years Ago", a traditional deal which has collected WAY too many lyrics and variations over the years. I cut quite a few out and it still topped off at 5 minutes, so if you can handle my sloppy playing and voice for that long, you can go here …

best to pile these up in one post.

I get my computer back tomorrow, with all data gone. Peyton, I may need to take you up on your offer of help in the recovery effort.

This the car we've decided on. I have an inordinate fondness for the panel version, but I can't haul the nippers to games in that. So …

What I was working on when it broke.

I've got a sister who just graduated High School, and I wrote my 3rd song for her. (In some ways, it's really my first song as the other two are, well I don't know, more sketches really...)

I was trying to record it when my hard drive broke so I'll just have to settle …

couple notes

My computer harddrive died in mid-session today. Hopefully they can recover whatever recent stuff I hadn't backed up. That means no art, music or replies from me for a while. Man this sucks.

But on to more serious stuff:

So apparently Working Class Hero has crashed my …

No longer postponing the inevitable.

The more I work on the vonflueart site the more I realize I really need to redesign the portfolio. The time of javascript-managed pop-up image gallery has passed and I need to find a new (and hopefully painless) way to redo the current version. I turn to all of you …

Where are they now?

So my buddy Nich leaves town and what does he end up doing? Multimedia journalism for the San Luis Obispo Tribune.

Mother wanted me to come out in a kimono. And updates.

I (finally) made some updates to vonflueart, posted some Children's murals (which are getting kind of out of hand. Time to pair that section down a bit, or at least reorganize.) Also put up Dawn's process page for her contribution to Off The Wall 3 (direct link to the …

Virb

Thanks to Grant's suggestion I made a Virb page in order to post my occasional music tracks without going through riga-ma-role.

For the record, it's a lot easier to use than myspace.

AIDC trailer

Sebastien Dumesnil, The director of Adventures into Digital Comics wrote to let me know he's put up the official trailer for the film.

It's great he's putting that Patrick Farley (Stravinsky) quote right out front. It is too late to ask where we are going. It's funny …

A question...

Why is no one talking about The Process by Joe Infurnari?

Pencil Sharpener

It's a bit rough and I need to come up with some lyrics. But I had to get it down before I forgot. It's recorded with the little Stella tenor guitar I've kinda-sorta adopted.

If someone...

bought a set of blank nesting dolls, say for 12 bucks from The Wurst Gallery (scroll down), and sent em to me, well, I'd totally paint 'em for you.

I refer to it as the guitarpentine.

Getting some work done this week, hence the silence.

Nich and I popped in on a friend's gig last Sunday and had the pleasure of playing a few songs. This picture, taken afterwards, is photographic evidence of the event. You can see a bit of Nich's guitar, which I …

Don't come around much anymore.

This week sucks and you LJ people will have to forgive me for the messed up html that will invariably lead to the extra page-breaks sticking out at the ends of paragraphs. (I can't do without horizontal rules though) How much pain have cost us the evils which have never …

their broad roads will pass over the grave of your fathers

Three excerpts from Tecumseh's Speech to the Choctaw and Chickasaw

Sleep Not Longer, 0h Choctaws and Chickasaws! In view of questions of vast importance, have we met together in solemn council tonight. Nor should we here debate whether we have been wronged and injured, …

New Hangdog (site and songs)

Just got back from helping my friends move to Sacramento, a town I am exceedingly impressed with. It was a whirlwind trip and I almost died on the road on day one, but more on that tomorrow, probably. It was a serious life changer, though.

But tonight I got sidetracked …

New Potemkin, half way now.

New Potemkin at Farrago's Wainscot, a week late because I was busy doing day jobs and getting my head creamed by a mud flap.

Here's my contribution, The correlation to Egon is quite by accident, In the switch from ArtRage to Photoshop I hadn't realized I had painted …

Black Jack Mama

Another recording, this time of Black Jack Mama, a Townes Van Zandt song.

For those of you who play, I transcribed it as a G blues progression. I don't really know if Townes played it that way, it just works better on my OpenG tenor. I can send you the tab I made if you …
