…are not my friends right now. Just like every other skill in life, the less you practice, the rustier you get. Damn do I ever feel out of practice at the moment.

In my recent bout of absenteeism from blogging, a new acquaintance introduced me the to the wit, humor and smooth sounds of Yatch Rock — a currently canceled web series over at Chanel 101. And I mourn it’s canceled status verily, because the 10 episodes they have are brilliant beyond belief.
Set in the late 70’s/early 80’s music world of soft rock superkings, the creators deftly weave in their humorous song creation stories with the likes of Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Dr. Dre, Michael Jackson, Hall and Oates, David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Perry, The Eagles…not to mention my beloved Steely Dan.
You can dig around on the show’s Wikipedia page for more background, or just dive right into the episodes. If you’re crunched for time and want some recommendations, I’d say hit episodes #7 (I Keep Forgettin), #9 (Runnin’ With The Devil), and #10 (FM).
Breaking the log jam and the Bonnaroo picture show
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007Well, another month long gap between posts. There’s been livin’ of life. There’s been writin’ of posts. There’s been singin’ of songs. Just none of it here. Why? Because somewhere along the line I got it in my skull that I need to keep posts here in some semblance of a chronological order, which means if I get caught behind some perceived roadblock, then the whole water works stop.
Well, as of today I’m making some fundamental changes to try and keep that from happening again. Note the return of the Memories section (currently empty, but there none the less), which will be used for long-form event recaps, photos, videos, and the like.
Anyway…
For those of you interested in my travels to Bonnaroo (and why on earth would you be?), you’ll have to bear with me a bit longer for the video and texual recap of my experiences. But if all you’re looking for is photos of acts like The Police, The White Stripes, Wolfmother, Clutch, Franz Ferdinan, etc. then you’re in luck. I’ve posted some 733 actual, factual pics up at my Bonnaroo 2007 collection on Flickr. Enjoy!
