Random Internet Things From The Internet 45
A recurring feature in which I present a collection of miscellaneous crap err, interesting things to look at that I have lovingly and carefully curated for your enjoyment. Why have I made 45 of these? Why don’t I just have a tumblr? (more…)
No-Shadow Kick — Spatializing Sound In The Time Domain (2005)
The third and final CD by the mysterious The No-Shadow Kick, released back when I foolishly thought eclecticism was some sort of virtue. Ho-ho-ho. This album has something for everyone, and therefore probably something for everyone to hate, too. (more…)
REKKIDZ
After periodically thinking it’d be a cool thing to do, I finally dragged my old turntable upstairs and set it up in my office. Records! LPs! Wax! Vinyl! Whatever-you-calls-’em. I’m excited to have this often-ignored part of my music collection back at my fingertips. Hopefully it’ll encourage me to not sit like a lump in this chair for hours at a stretch. I commemorated my first day of listening by picking up a few 12″s at Turn It Up!.
Letter To The Editor
DEAR EDITORS OF THE DAILY HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE:
I am disappointed (and frankly appalled) that in this day and age, your puritanical editorial tendencies would cause you to “creatively edit” today’s Family Circus with an “accidental” ink smear. (more…)
From The Flat Files: Turn It Up! Comic Ads
I was doing some house-cleaning and found a beat up old sketchbook with some paste-ups of Turn It Up! CDs comics/ads. I was given the luxury of having a pretty free hand on creating ads back in the day, and little narratives like this little back-to-school gag would often result. These are probably around 15 years old and predate my use of Photoshop. I used to print out the type on the store’s computer, because it had Sierra Print Artist on it. Cheap inkjet printouts + bad cutting job + Pro-White + glue stick + a generation or two of quality loss via photocopying at Kinko’s = Perfessional Grafik Dezyning.
(At the time, I felt very clever for coming up with “Superbman”).
A Selection Of Recent Print Work
Oh, the jet-set life of the self-employed! I’ve been keeping busy and hustlin’ to pay off our recent house remodeling project. On the multimedia front, there’s been a bunch of animation work and even some audio/radio work, but I’m not posting any of that because I’m lazy. Instead, here are a few of the freelance print projects I’ve been working on for the last few months. (more…)
“No Unpleasant Aftertaste”
Rolled up issues of The Springfield Union, from June and July of 1951. We pulled them out of the walls of my former kitchen after it got demolished last week. Most were water damaged or possibly covered with mouse poop, so I took a few photos and trashed ‘em. There are a few good Communist era headlines, some local stuff, and a couple of good ads. LOOKY-LOO…
That 80s Song About Aliens Invading Northampton
…Well, Northampton, UK. But still, it’s a… uh, catchy song. I guess. Anyway, it’s about aliens coming to town to steal energy. This was apparently a positive thing, according to the city government. (more…)
