I heard this song twice in as many days whilst playing randomly on different instances of iTunes. I thought it a sign, and the song worthy of sharing. Here's Frank Black and Moris Tepper performing 'I Burn Today' on the Henry Rollins Show on April 15, 2006. In researching this performance I discovered that this episode of the Henry Rollins Show also featured Werner Herzog, recognized as one of the greatest figures of the New German Cinema. Check it out.
I love this photo. It is one of the very first digital photos I ever took, having just purchased a cheap Canon compact. I captured this image in Mission, TX, enroute to the Mexico border, on September 23, 2003.
Bored with all of the Happy Birthday videos on YouTube, I created my first movie incorporating an MP3 of Junior Wells singing Happy Birthday, from the album "Juinor Wells Live At Theresa's" (1975)', with some photos of Theresa's Lounge in Chicago I found on the web. Guess what I'm getting you for your birthday?
Me? I'm San Antonio born.
Check out this live performance by Ray Wylie Hubbard singing 'Screw You, We're From Texas'. It's that good.
I love 'The Strip' from The New York Times Sunday Review. This edition lampoons CES. Brian McFadden is a brilliant cartoonist, illustrator, and jokesmith.
I once bought a laptop from a guy who approached me in the parking lot of the Stonestown Galeria Mall in San Francisco. I immediately went home and opened the box to find --- a brick. Literally. I held on to that brick for a long time as a reminder that you don't get something for nothing.
Classic: Freetail Brewing Co. of San Antonio, TX (my town of birth) sent this response to a cease and desist letter from the attorney's for Steelhead Brewing Co. of Eugene, OR. I got your Hopasaurus Rex- right here along with my Flying Spaghetti Monster.
One more from 'Blues And Gospel Train', a musical concert performed at the Chorltonville Railway Station, a suburban station in Manchester, England, in 1963, here's the father of modern Chicago blues, Muddy Waters, performing 'You Can't Lose What You Never Had'.
From 'Blues And Gospel Train', a TV special in Great Britain filmed at the Chorltonville Railway Station, a suburban station in Manchester, England, in 1963, here's another tune from the gospel great Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Dig that classic Gibson Les Paul Deluxe.
