Big Perm

I guess we should hang out?

The movie I enjoyed the most from this past year was "Let the Right One In"

Them's Code words

Nice work, though it's almost disturbingly happy!

We all got really, really high, so . . .

I shot & Edited this commercial, local spot for Reid's Cleaners in Austin, not perfect, but it's fun I'm proud & wanted to share. Haven't been around much, I'm sure there's been thousands of threads about, Who's seen Perm? Thanks for that, it means the world to me.

Here's the SD, watch in High quality fools!

There's an HD version too, only cool people can watch

We developed the jingle as well, fun to work on, please enjoy.

Call me!

Chungking Express is one of my all-time favorite flicks. Are you going to catch the new cut of Ashes of Time? I'm very curious to see it, as the only version I've seen was a muddy VHS. That was years ago, and all I really remember is that the subtitles were off by a line or two the whole way through. I still liked it, though.

Sadly, I have not seen it - just this, In the Mood For Love, 2046, & My Blueberry Nights. One day i'll see it, and we will all be better for it.

PS - This Looked incredible on blu

*Big Perm does not work for anyone manufacturing Blu Ray anything, he just lobbies in his free time.

on Blu

So many good albums this year, but FURR takes it all for me. Black River Killer is such a damn good song.

"The Gourds to release Haymaker! on January 6th

Pre-order Haymaker! at the Yep Roc Web Shop and get the bonus tracks, "Green Beans Killed The Devil" and "Tequila Will Destroy Yer Soul"! The DRM-free MP3 will be available for download in your Stash as soon as you complete your order.

Cosmic country rockers The Gourds will capture their live energy on Haymaker! their new studio album due out January 6th, 2009.

Continuing the Gourds round trip through the outer reaches of the roots music universe and back again, Haymaker! takes the best of the band's classic eccentricities and melds it with the more linear narratives coined on last year's critically acclaimed Noble Creatures.

The attention garnered by Kevin "Shinyribs" Russel's classic ballads "Promenade" and "Steeple Full of Swallows" from Noble Creatures is indicative of the more straight ahead leanings exhibited on Haymaker! Here, vintage Gourds boogie twang ("Country Gal") stands along side Jimmy Smith's tunes quintessential Texas character studies ("Thurman," "Bridgett"). Where normally Jimmy's famous non sequiturs and dense reference-heavy lyrics are normally a Gourds mainstay, on Haymaker! the second half of the Gourds psychic songwriting apparatus opted for a more direct approach. Says Smith, "If I frame a song in history, or use real names instead of pronouns, my content might be less cryptic to the listener. So it's win win, I get to be the usual freaky lyrical scag and sharpen the listeners machete at the same time."

Gourds - Haymaker!

My favorite is Power, Corruption, & Lies.

Bruce Springsteen/Suicide - Dream Baby Dream

split 10"

A/ Bruce Springsteen - Dream Baby Dream

The Boss solo, live from his 2005 Devils & Dust Tour pays tribute to Mr Alan Vega. A haunting interpretation of the Suicide classic, a heartfelt lament for "lost America". Surely should be an alternative Obama campaign song !

B1 Suicide - Dream Baby Dream (Midnight Special Live TV 1978)

Recently recovered from a lost Suicide vault......1978 The Cars are America's biggest band. ....they air their own live TV "Midnight Special" nationwide on NBC and invite their pals Suicide. America, untouched, sleeps soundly through this event, gathering it's strength to throw shoes at Mr Vega & Mr Rev when they open for The Cars on the stadium tour.

B2 Beat The Devil - Mr Ray

Sadly now defunct contemporary New York band. Singer Shipa Ray tears Suicide a new one!

We now charge to post in this thread, just send it to my paypal account, $59.99 - it all goes to buy Tweedy new shoes

and enjoyed from the usuals, Roots, Lupe Fiasco (was the new one this year?), lil' wayne and whatever

Rap Albums Perm has spent 2008 rollin' joints to -

I own a blu ray player, love it - I own this movie on DVD - Love it

Not a worthy upgrade at all, some things are fine in SD - This doc is not about picture quality to me

I have an older Technics belt drive, I love it.

To digitize I use this

iMic 2

with this

Adapter w/ground

It works fine for me, I also use Soundtrack Pro to make adjustments after the fact.

I said it in Now Playing, but it's The Death Set "Worldwide". No, it's prolly not the best record of the year, maybe in the top 50? I just made a connection with these punk dudes, and I don't know exactly why, but I love it. But maintain normal expectations, it's fun punk, quite catchy.
