After seeing the new Horseshoe Spatulas music video " Room 108 ," I got inspired: (if you're reading this on facebook you wont see the video above). Sure my video wasn't shot on a prosumer camera and doesn't have all the crazy effects Room 108 does, but I think it has it is loveable on a different level. Take a little inside look at the Spatulas. I've known their drummer Pratt since 1st grade, Mike since 7th, Hogan since 8th, and Jordan was the best man at my wedding. They have always been one of my favorite bands and just a great group of dudes. I shot the video for this back on New Years Eve 2006-7 and never did anything with it other than put it on a DVD for the band. Never considered making a music video. I think it turned out pretty well. Had I been thinking music video when I shot it I would have been more careful with what I shot when. I think it turned out pretty well.

Been a fan (and friend) of these guys for like 11 years now. Good stuff.

Another Facebook Survey... "Think of 15 albums that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life. Dug into your soul. Music that brought you to life when you heard it. Royally affected you, kicked you in the wazzo, literally socked you in the gut, is what I mean. Then when you finish, tag 15 others (or more!). Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill." Ordered by when I heard them 1. The Beatles - The White Album My mom used to play it all the time. I thought it was the Beatles greatest hits for the longest time. 2. Green Day - Dookie  Heard songs from it before but heard it all the way through at my buddy Josh Boyd's 6th grade birthday party and was blown away. Maybe the only album that truly changed my life. 3. Weezer - The Blue Album In January of 6th grade Ian Erskin (sp?) moved to Iowa and was in my 6th grade class. At lunch one day he gave me a tape with the blue album on it. At this time I used to listen to mu...

Or I guess it's an Anti-Fan club. Check out the trailer for this documentary: The People vs. George Lucas. The idea of people loving you so much they hate you kind of reminds me of the Mr. Belvedere (Brocktoon...) skit on SNL. But Mr. Lucas has been pretty creatively lax in over the last 10-15 years.

Incase you missed it on Facebook: Yes that is pretty funny but in reality the Boberg's could be real victims of the recession. California has the horrible privilege of being one of the few states where the state legislature needs 2/3s approval for a state budget to pass. In the past the state has gone months past the deadline for a finalized budget and lived to tell the tale. This year is not one of those times. California is officially out of cash and floating bills with "IOU's." Instead of having any legislation to put real pressure (say no pay till budget issues are resolved or fines of each days pay budget issues are resolved) on our state senators California pushes its problems to the people on the frontlines. Governor Schwarzenegger is mandating that state employees take two days off a month without pay to help make ends meet. Now if Marieta worked for a hospital this wouldn't be a big deal, but that's not the case, and since she is the main bre...
