here's a doodle i did, spent about an hour on it. inspired by the redmeat comic skull. did some lowlight photography tonight with the 30D. looking to be a stellar low light camera!

that's lexi. a bit unrelated to the subject at hand here. but hey, i had the picture ready to go.

i saw the devin townsend band live in vancouver a few months ago with anand and some of his pals. they're best described as unabashedly epic metal. thoroughly entertaining.

and they appear to have made the best music video ever!

my favorite things about this video:

• the on-cue height restricted flames


• precarious rock spires that the drummer and bass player (and eventually devin) stand on

on the weekend my friends and colleagues zandra and jordan got married in ross bay cemetery. could easily have been the funnest and most interesting wedding i've been to. awesome!

So! That track I did a remix of by Amani and Teapot is actually by Desert Dwellers. Here's a little review of it by our pal Mike from Hybrid:

A reaction has been generated for: Desert Dwellers - Musiki Ukabili (AFK's Moon Over Myakka remix)
Reacted by: Hybrid (Mike Truman)
Affiliation: Fabric UK/Avalon (L.A.)/Liquified (Atlanta)/Distinctive Records
Country: United Kingdom
Rating: 7
Reaction: Very Good
Comments: Great builder this one, hypnotic groove that should work a
storm on a big system. Love the sound of the breakdown...

Nice one!

Mike Hybrid.

so, as some of you may have noticed, i have taken comment approval off. until sp@m becomes a problem, i'm going to leave it off. comment at will!

this picture is of my uberpal donna who i ran into randomly in town a week or two ago. she rocks. long time readers will remember her from the hypnosis episode.

emmy's dog houston passed away on saturday. it is sad. : (

houston was a very nice dog to pet.

that's paul from starecase / general midi and mr. in need of a haircut afk. one of my favorite producers of all time. i'd tell you what records of his i have but seriously there are too many to mention / find in my record collection. i think there must be at least 60 or 70 records i have that this guy produced -- most of my mix CD's feature a starecase track, and almost every memorable set i've played at any given event would have had a starecase track dropped. so in other words, this guy is pretty significant!

i gave him mad props.
