josh and christy bought a fire pit for their backyard. jenny & i stopped by to see it tuesday night. there’s something very primal and satisfying about a fire that warms and cooks.

it blips! it loops! it leaps tall buildings in a single bound! ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the bliptronic 5000! coming soon to a street corner near you.

there are a few things that make it past the strings, and all the way into the sound hole of a guitar: batteries, wires, dirt, the occasional pick… but i haven’t seen anyone scream into a sound hole until last tuesday. ladies and gentlemen, here’s danny williams doing just that.

i’m reading a book from the library about the mtv revolution. the music videos of today are nothing like they were in the early 1980′s… but i like this one.

i made my second appearance at the crossroads art district first fridays event, and met ALOT of kindred spirits (gil, paul, sherwood, zak, to name a few) who were cool enough to show an interest in the circuit bent speak & math, the monotron, and the beep-it (optical theremin) that i was using to make ancient future sounds. a HUGE thanks to e.f. hobbs for letting me power all this suff from their big orange truck!

last sunday i was confronted with the possibility that 8 consecutive hours of sleep isn’t a natural pattern, it’s something we started doing after the 17th century. according to a 16 year sleep study, the natural body rhythm sleeps four hours, wakes up for an hour or two, and then goes back to sleep. researchers even found a ton of literature that recorded people sleeping this way in the pre-industrial age. i’ve tried it a couple of times now, and i think it’s working.

ok everyone gather around the computer… here is another show that danny and i recorded on tuesday. it features our expectations for first friday next week in the crossroads art district, and danny’s new idea for a blog. to hear other shows go to the podcast page.

i used to think feedback was something to be avoided. at some point that idea changed. here are some controlled feedback sounds i made using a delay pedal. of course once i broke out the implements of audio chaos i couldn’t stop at one recording… here’s another hit single from planet omega beep.

this song makes me wanna fall asleep on the hood of my ’69 impala, wake up next to a campfire, and eat eggs and bacon at 3am.

jenny & i drive to eudora every other tuesday to eat dinner and visit with our adopted mom, wanda mull. on valentine’s day we ate kentucky fried chicken (wanda’s favorite) and then went back to her room to sing hymns.
