What You Missed Saturday @ Gas Lamp

Early this month my coworker Ryan Peterson, co-host of the dormant music podcast "We Hate Music," introduced me to the local act Holy White Hounds and since that moment, I've been thirsting to see them live. Saturday that thirst was quenched.

Watch on Youtube




I might have gone a little over board with the filming. What can I say I really dig these guys sound and their live performance lived up to their recordings. Three pieces are a tricky business but luckily these guys have the chops and stage presence to pull it off. After you watch these videos I suggest you download their EP on Amazon and check them out live.

An added bonus to the evening was checking out local rock-country group Bright Giant.
All songs available for download on Amazon

To be completely honest I was not a huge of their recordings on ReverbNation. The vocals seemed a little too timid and the music a little too reserved for my tastes, but their live show erased all those notions. These guys rock out and get into it. I love a good showmen and their drummer and lead guitarist own the stage. I'm glad they were on the bill because I doubt I would have ever seen them live if it weren't for them sharing the stage with the Hounds.

I almost decided against going heading out Saturday, on account of the Nebraska sun draining my energy, but man am I glad I sucked it up and hit up the show. Saturday's show started at 9 and I split at 1045. Bright Giant was only a few songs into their set but I was in dire need of some shuteye. Still I'd call the night a success and I can't wait to see both of these bands again.

Eddie Morra is an Idiot

More awesome fan posters on Posterspy.com For being the smartest man alive Eddie Morra is an idiot, or at least the people who wrote him are. If you haven't seen this film here's the quick and dirty; loser Eddie Morra is given a drug that gives him super smarts and he uses it to help some random company make millions, along the way some bad stuff happens. The problem with all that bad stuff is none of it needed to happen and I'm pretty sure a man with the IQ of Eddie Murra wouldn't have allowed any of it to occur or even take a path that presents them as possible. See the hook point in the movie is Eddie's first use of super drug NZT, he cleans his apartment, writes the first part of his novel and it wears off. So of course he's instantly hooked, and like all drug addicts, he goes to get more. As soon as he takes his next pill he should realize, "Damn, I have a supply issue here. I need to figure out how to either develop this myself or find out

This book should not exist

It's late on a mid-October 2015 night and I am struggling with whether I should buy a $1,200 last-minute ticket to California to be with my family for my mother's emergency brain surgery. A week prior everyone was together in my house for an adventurous weekend climbing a wind turbine and celebrating my grandmother's 90th birthday, now we are on the eve of my mom going under the gamma knife for emergency brain surgery. Turns out she has a size-able tumor growing on the surface of her brain.   It's a bit of miracle that the tumor was discovered in the first place as my mom's routine cancer screenings didn't usually include brain scans; however, she had been complaining of blurry vision and balance issues, plus she had become quite irritable having been pushed to take FMLA from work to deal with what she thought was post-cancer "brain fog." Thankfully her doctor had the good sense to add it all up and include her brain in her next cancer scan. Sure enou

Top 10 Things of 2019

Like everyone I love lists; however it feels like I no longer have the time to sit down and give every sub-genre of life and culture it's due. So here are the top 10 things I experienced this year. 10. Disneyland with Emmalyn As it turns out, I have been to Disneyland once a decade since my visit in 1993 (and for some reason always within a few days off Christmas.) This decade's visit came this year with my family, Marieta, and Emmalyn along for the ride. It was really fun, especially riding the Dumbo ride, Emmalyn's first rollercoaster, watching the parade with Emmalyn on my shoulders, and the end of night fireworks. 9. Seeing "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" at Story City Theater Quentin Tarantino's ninth film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is easily the most rewatchable film of the year, a cinematic feast for the eyes, ears, and mind, and each viewing offers something new. My favorite part about seeing it was my second screening occ
