today.

take this.


The Antenna Diaries

New deadline - October 31. Please let it happen, universe.

In other news, I love this picture. It makes the club look even crappier than it already was. And smokier, if that's even possible.

The Antenna Diaries

And the beat goes on.

Had a Skype interview the other day with Dave Catching, who used to play with the Modifiers (and Randy Band and Cock Rock and Four Neat Guys, etc). Very cool guy - had an email conversation with him and it's possible that he was responsible for selling me quaaludes and placidyls back then. Small world. Or is that more like a circle of life thing?

The day after his interview, he found an old vhs tape that he sent us. Angerhead (the band), Modifiers, Gun Club, an experimental noise thing he did on Channel 7 (sample-y, very proto-New Intruders) AND Modifiers with John Densmore and Derf Scratch. Fucking amazing.

Also, I found pictures I had forgotten. I love this one.

and this.

it's downright hypnotic


Antenna Diaries

Some days things roll right along and some days we curse the cameramen of the past for not adjusting their exposures. Think of the filmmakers of the future, dammit! Plus, this video looks like it was shot thru one of those rumpled glass shower doors.

I'm really glad I didn't actually sleep with that guitarist. He couldn't dance for shit, apparently. Not a good sign.

Please pan over to the keyboardist please pan over to the keyboardist please pan over to the keyboardist please pan over to the keyboardist please pan over to the keyboardist. Nope.

Note to cameraman of the past: Please do not attempt to dance while shooting.

Ooo. Nice lens flare.

And at the end of the tape, five whole entire minutes of video noise. It's like Christmas for me. I spy another New Intruders video. Another outlet for my scrappy inner psycho killer. I should put that in a profile somewhere - "likes random video noise, slightly burnt popcorn and sideshow freaks."

Fuck. Seriously, MPEG Streamclip? You're just gonna stop converting for no reason. Nice.

At this rate, it looks like we're working into the night. Maybe we can get pizza from here, on account of they deliver now, which is awesome.

Dive into the chaos.
