I'm listening to Saigon Kick's - Water album on my iPod at an ear bleeding decibel...My lord, I haven't listened to this disc in years...It's f**king brilliant! I forgot how great these songs are...dare I say classic, sounds just as cool now as it did back in the early 90's...here's my little tip for you not in the know, go cop this album on Amazon (you can get one used for 52 cents, you can't get a pack of gum for that much) - What the hell is Jason doing?!? You should be making music brother! Bring Saigon Kick back!

Have you watched this movie yet? Well ya need to...so get to it

Al Gore, ya know the guy who was president for a blink until the chimp stole the election from him...man what a farce that election was...What in gods name is this fool thinking?!? C'mon now, lets not kid ourselves there is no denying Bush is thee absolute worst president ever and for so many reasons, um yea lets see what can I do to serve my country while in office...hey I know, lets tell a myriad of lies and go start a war with this country for no reason whatsoever...we'll say we're fighting terror...our soldiers and Iraq citizens are dying for oil...

Mr. Gore aka the guy who should be president did a stellar job presenting the facts, his presentation is informative, compelling and frankly scary as hell, if we don't do something about the very real Global Warming issue that we are causing there are going to be some heavy ramifications.

I had a chance to shoot Head Automatica the other night. It was great to see Daryl again, I haven't seen him in ages, not since the Snocore tour a number of years ago when he played with his other band Glassjaw. I swear that dudes got a photographic memory, he knew exactly who I was...The shots came out great...The guitar player in the band, I forget his name, asked me if I was using a digital camera. I said "What's that? bro I'm old school, strictly film for me"...Ok, I do some high end digtial work but essentially use my 20D for a light meter (how lame is that, 1200 bucks for a f**king light meter!?!)...the band looked and sounded great, I like this project Daryl's doing, it allows him to stretch out and do some song writing that wouldn't fit with the Glassjaw aesthetic...

Shot k-os last night in a college dining room, it had a very Breakfast Club vibe to it (you remember that flick right?) a lot of TRL girls in the front row with there Gym Class Hero t-shirts on...k-os played only a half hour set, wish it was more...he opened the gig, which I thought was odd...his band was excellent. I had a chance to chit chat with him after the show, he's a very articulate cat...my homie did an interview with him for a nationally published zine...I did the photo thing...no candids just live pics, I was going to ask to snap a few shots after the interview but the vibe didn't feel right and the tour manager Andrew Brereton made it clear that Kevin usually isn't in the mood to take photos after his set. Oh really? This piece is for a nationally published magazine and he's not in the mood?!? GTFOOHWTBS! He played 30 freeging minutes, I don't think he even broke a sweat, c'mon now...the bullshit I have to deal with...

I changed the 2nd shot of Thursday and put a new one in it's place (Music II port)

I have a ton of photos to put up from Russell Malone, Head Automatica and k-os...I was also debating on putting up a few pics from my lowrider shoot, we'll see...actually I might just send a few shots to Ross, he digs asian chicks...

peace
