Rainer Maria has been my favorite band for almost a decade now, so I’m happy to see former lead singer Demarrais releasing a second album in November. Here’s the first video. A little more electronic than I’m used to, but exciting.
Caithlin De Marrais – “Birds” – from the album ‘Red Coats’ from Harmonica Boy on Vimeo.
More snippets from Tron by Daft Punk. Can’t wait to hear it thunder at the theater.
No longer available from me is my compilation of 12 bands, “Our History and Our Future” The old page with track listings is here. I really liked that release, but alas, it is time to say goodbye to another release. Hope the 1,000 copies out in the wild have good homes and get the occasional play in the old disc machines.
Theres no way this movie will live up to the hype for me. Great mood by Daft Punk. Can’t wait to see their videos.

The Swell Season put on a beautiful show last night at the Orange Peel. A few shots from our evening out, including my Chicken and Waffles. I now have completed a Proxy EGOT(being in the same room as the winners) of an emmy, grammy, tony, and finally after last night an Oscar winner). Tracey Jordan would be proud
We spent all day yesterday at Merlesfest in Wilkesboro, NC. The more we drive around NC, it becomes easier for me to remember why i was drawn home here. The trees alone do it as they just are filled with so much life compared to the empty farming fields of the midwest. The Avett Brothers were very good, and I have the sunburn to prove it. It’s about a two hour drive to Merlefest for us, and I’m sure we will be making it again in the future.
My friend Kymia Nawabi is trying to raise funds for an animation based on her artwork. If you can make even the minimun donation of $3 that would be great. Walking Through the Door Project
The Crazy cool artwork of Tadanori Yokoo over at io9 is bizarre.
Going to see the Swell Season at the Orange Peel May 20th.
The first two episodes of the New Doctor Who have aired. I really like Matt Smith as the Doctor, which is strange in a small way since I thought David Tennant would always be the reason I liked the show. Anyway BBC America airs the first episode this coming Saturday April 17th, with a marathon of David Tennant episodes before hand if your new to the show.
First day of vacation, we ate at the delicious Laughing Seed which is superb for the vegetarians in your life, stopped by Comic Envy to browse the geekery, and then traded in books at Mr. K’s where I got this gem,
from 1963. I’m sure these stories will be winners in the political correctness column. Time to batten down the hatches and get to work.
Look for more paint later.
Doctor Octoroc has taken the Geek Phenom Musical Dr. Horrible and made it 8 bit. You can get the soundtrack here. It’s bloody chiptune brilliant!
