some putzing around on the internet

Today has been a lazy day.

I was on the internet and found this guy Greg Stephens who has some pretty astounding artwork.

He also reviews and displays artwork of other people and art that he’s seen… There are some pretty interesting pieces from the Guggenheim here…. the Quay stuff is definitely my current favorite….

I’m also smacking myself upside the head because I downloaded this awesome picture of an old vintage keyboard, and I for some reason did not bookmark the page it came from or write down the name of this keyboard.  Does anyone know?  I’d love to find one of these.

I have no idea what this is.  But it’s awesome.

K)) rocks Hermosa Beach

The Friday after #Thanksgiving we played a special show at The Shore in Hermosa Beach…. check it out! (You can’t see me in the video, but I’m standing behind Mike)

Linus with K)) on TV tonight!

Hey kiddies – I’m on a lesb ian TV show tonight!

I’ll be performing “Dr and His Son” with my friends from Killola and if you have Direct TV, please tune in! If you miss it, or were recently caught pirating TV from Time Warner like the author of this email, you can watch the episode tomorrow at the link below.)

Oh, btw – l’show is called Brunch with Bridget. It airs every Friday night, 2am. (which is basically Saturday morning)

 

*This is us posing with Bridget McManus, host of “Brunch with Bridget”! Strangely enough, she resembles Tammy Bruce.

 

Happy Halloween fellaz

Some stuff we carved at Jenny’s house….

KILLOLA at Whiskey Richard’s in Santa Barbara!

On Saturday I played in SB again with K)) and we rocked the house at Whiskey Richard’s (435 State St. 93101).  This show was part of their New Noise Festival and we played with the amazing The Pen15 Club!

Yours truly on keyboards!  (My headphones dropped on the floor at some point – holy crapol!)

NRC Designs

Found this cool sticker stuck on a parking sign in Santa Monica. Couldn’t find too much about it on the internet, but it’s pretty cool – whoever you are who designed this…

stickers still avail?

This Saturday – at the Roxy

Huge news folks!!!

On Sept 19th – I will be playing keyboards on stage at the Roxy with the absolutely kick-ass band Killola!

Now, I am not officially a PART of this band, so to be asked to play with a group that I’ve idolized since discovery is going to be a nutzo experience. And at the Roxy, no less!! I am counting on each and every one of you to show up and make me nervous as hell!

** For those of you who never knew I played the keyboards… surprise, surprise. I’ve been playing since I was negative 5 years old and… well, I was a jerk and never told you.

This is going to be my debut at a rock show in L.A. so come on out!

The details are here: http://theroxyonsunset.com/upcoming-shows/

Show starts at 9 and I think there’s a band before us….. No regrets if you can’t make – just surprise me! HOPE TO SEE YOU!!!!!!

The Broadview Security commercial

You know, every time I go to the gym, I see this ad playing on CNN or Fox News or whatever the channel the TV is set on, and it has literally taken me until NOW to realize that the dude breaking into the house is not the same guy who just dropped off his date.

Watch the video below. The worst edit is the wide shot showing the DATE GUY’S car pulling away from the curb and then a cut to the INSIDE of the OLD BOYFRIEND’S CAR pulling up to the house. Yes, we see he has different clothes on (something I missed the first dozen times I saw this) but the fact that it is now raining, and the guy is wet blurs the fact that this is a different person. Also not clearly seeing the ex-boyfriend’s face as he runs up to the house is a problem.

Could this issue have been avoided had the CASTING of the two men been different? Whoever lets these commercials go to shoot past pre-production is mind boggling.

Also – isn’t the security guy on the other end of the phone also another white male? What the hey is up with this commercial??!?!

** Yes, I do realize that she says the line “My ex-boyfriend just tried to break in,” but you know what… that plot point is too important to be just given a throwaway line….
