Ummmmmmmmmm...what?

Not only is this confusing on the "Who would want that?" level, but also on the "I'm pretty sure I've never seen a baby with hair there." level.

Regardless, I'm seriously considering sending these out as christmas presents if I can figure out how to order them.

More to come...

EDIT:
Upon further inspection, the doll is not available for purchase, but was part of an art project. My disappointment is unreal.

I Love Paris.

Found this on "2 or 3 things I Know."

Jarmusch being among my favorite directors and artists, naturally this caught my eye.

Wish I'd gotten to talk longer with him when I took that one.

Currently spinning Ella Fitzgerald Sings More Cole Porter and wishing tonight had turned out differently.

The '08 Tape...

Photobucket

So, here's a 2008 sampler of sorts. Keep in mind, there is so much more that came out in 2008 that is worth listening too, but this just had such a good flow to it.

Side A:

Titus Andronicus - Titus Andronicus
No Age - Neon Creeps
Los Campesinos - 2007, The Year Punk Broke (My Heart)
Atlas Sound - Quarantined
Earth - Engine of Ruin
Sun Kil Moon - Tonight The Sky
City & Colour - The Girl

Side B:
Boris - Message
Crystal Catles - Crimewave (Crystal Castles VS. Health)
M83 - Graveyard Girl
Tapes 'N Tapes - Hang Them All
Deerhunter - Nothing Ever Happened
Vivian Girls - Where Do You Run To?
Lemuria - Length Away
The Mountain Goats - Marduk T-Shirt Men's Room Incident
Black Mountain - Stay Free
Margot & The Nuclear So-and-Sos - Jesus Christ Blues

Ok. This is an indie heavy mixtape, I'm not gonna lie; and I know I totally lose punk points for a few of these, but still...it flows so well and I really like all these songs. At least I can admit to my guilty pleasures haha.

Now let's see your mixtapes.

City & Colour

Her are the pictures from the last minute City & Colour shoot. The show was sold out but Heather and I were able to get in as long as we agreed to take over for Ian, the guy I write for at punkbands.com, who was supposed to interview Dallas Green that night.

Plus, I got a photo pass.

This was one of the many occasions on which I wish I had the money for a 50D and some longer lenses. The 50mm f/1.8 and my XTi got the job done, but there's so much more I could have done with my ideal concert combo. I could go into more detail with that, but that would be a nice, easy, setup to work with at venues.

Speaking of equipment at venues, I was really suprised that I was able to pull of the f/2.8 with no flash at the Trocadero. Thank you fortunate lighting god. You are my saviour.

The rest of the beach pictures will be up shortly after the 20th. That's the next time I will have access to a good film scanner. I'm hoping to have a couple other roles done by then too, but we shall see.

Until then, take care. (I need a cleverer send-off. Thoughts?)

Beach Pictures...

...are almost done.

Sorry for the tease, but this is the slowest scanner ever.

Also, there seems to be something of a happy accident happening with these.

Here's a couple to look at until the rest are done.

Hope you enjoy it.
