December, 16, 2005 .......................................... Hamell On Trial Hamell killed at Rex's Bar in West Chester. He played "Dead Man's Float" by my request. He said "Man I haven't played this one in years". One of the JackAss guys was there. I spoke with Hamell after the show and he suggested naming the baby "Little Ed" if it is a boy. Expect a new album in stores Feb. 7th. December, 3, 2005 .......................................... The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Broadway November, 11, 2005 .......................................... Black Keys Black Keys lay down some dirty blues and rock at the sold out TLA show. November, 3, 2005 .......................................... Just an update on the GIANT SPIDERS animation. The video has been hit pretty heavy in the last three days with over 250 unique views so far. There are reviews floating around. Below is a list of what I could find. If you see any others I missed shoot me an email. Brooklyn Vegan My first name is spelled wrong. The video link in this post is with the new Madonna video. Not sure if that is good or bad. Personally, I like her early stuff. You know, "Lucky Star," "Borderline" - but once she got into her "Papa Don't Preach" phase, I don't know, I tuned out. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/ Gorilla vs. Bear Just a straight up link. http://gorillavsbear.blogspot.com/ Junkmedia: World of Sound Nice review. http://www.junkmedia.org/?b=1&BID=206 Booze Is My Momma "Hyper-literal visual interpretation." http://boozeismymomma.com/ Last-Standing "Really entertaining", and lots of talk about how much school is left. http://www.last-standing.net/archives/2005/11/giant_spiders.php November, 2, 2005 .......................................... After eight months the "Giant Spiders" video is complete. "Giant Spiders" is an awesome song by musician Devin Davis. Devin’s album Lonely People of the World, Unite! is in my opinion one of the best this year. Besides being a nice guy, Devin knows how to rock. I created the "Giant Spiders" animation using Flash, Swift 3D, and Photoshop. Working on this project has been a lot of fun. I hope it makes you happy.

For anyone out there that purchased the Kasabian CD the losers at BMG have added copy protection to the disc that hijacks your computer. The CD prohibits users from importing songs into their iPod. There is a simple solution: just use Nero 6 to burn a new Audio CD by dragging over the tracks from the original. Do not do a copy to copy. You can then import the newly burned CD into iTunes.
