"Fist Pump Like A Champ!"

From Wiki:

The fist pump is a celebratory gesture in which a closed fist is raised before the torso and subsequently drawn down and nearer to the body in a vigorous, swift motion. The fist pump is frequently carried out in parts of the Western Hemisphere, Europe,and Japan (where it is known as guts pose) to denote enthusiasm, exuberance, or success and may be accompanied by a similarly energetic exclamation or vociferation. The gesture may be executed once or in a rapid series.

Really want to include some fist pumping in my next editorial.

Let's hope the powers that be like guidos.

Another Solar Return For My Other Beloved David

David Lynch. Where does one begin? Where does one end? Film, TV, art, and life in general would be so bland, unambiguous, and uninspired without this quirky innovator. There aren't sufficient words to describe this far out, mind bending visionary, only a series of creepy moments, rhythms, and images dreamily strung together.

So glad he was born.

.:TRUE WIDOW:. {A.K.A VIDEO}

Here's a new video, the first, for True Widow, one of my favorite bands ever, period.

This declaration would still be true, even if I didn't live, work, and play with these conduits of sonic bliss. I don't BS when my friends' bands suck. But luckily, most of my peeps are brilliant.

Beautifully shot and cut by Mats Ek in Sweden, A.K.A, the mesmerizing opening track to the .:TW:. self titled album on End Sounds, now has an equally breathtaking, dreamy, and bewitching visual counterpart. It's pretty fucking amazing.

Are you freaking out and riding fuzzy waves of hazy slow-mo headbangin riffs yet?

You should be. Do your ears a favor and check them out.

2010!!!

Just back from a gypsy rage in Uncertain, Tx on Caddo Lake. Feeling kind of like this guy.

Hope everyone had a safe and ridiculously fun time with people who don't suck. I sure did.

Still in recovery / catch up mode. I'll be back with more pics of the trip and some of my inspirations for 2010.

It's gonna be a magical year.
