God hates hot dogs
I’m sure this won’t change any minds on either side of this issue, but it is food for thought.
Drunken Prayer on KBOO
Since I’m missing their CD release Party at the Doug Fir tonight, I thought I’d post the tail end of the radio show they played Wednesday night at 8pm, on KBOO’s Drinking from Puddles show.
Their MySpace page said 9pm, so I only caught the last two songs and the end of “Pearls and Swine.” Damn freewheeling public-sponsored radio. Still, it was a great snippet, and I’m glad I caught it.

Wish I could have caught it all, but at least this is a manageable chunk of bits. I recorded it off a RadioShack DX-396 patched into my HP Mini 1000 using NCH Recordpad and trimmed the ends with their Wavepad editor.
Previously unknown squid alter-ego
I called a friend last night and he said he was going to see Unknown Hinson in Greensboro tonight. I said, “Who?” He said to look on YouTube. So I did.
I nearly squealed with redneck glee to discover that this man was the voice of one of my favorite cartoon characters, Early Cuyler on Adult Swim’s Squidbillies. It always seemed to me that whoever voiced that character had spent a lot of time living in it, so this explains it. Another tarheel as well; no surprise.
The guy sure can play guitar, too. How out of it am I that I did not know this?
My stats are off the hook!
Thanks to Michael Steele for the phrase; heh. But wow. Thirty-seven people have looked at this blog, far exceeding my wildest expectations. And I haven’t even showed it to my mom!
Thanks, Titler!
Hello world!
I just mothballed my abandoned Blogger blog of the same name, all seven or so posts, since my wife has informed me that Blogger is lame, and that people will think I’m a dumbass if I use it. (Sorry to all those Blogger bloggers whose works I do so enjoy; those are not my words.) Her point is that I need to show a bit more sophistication in a very tight job market for professional communicators. She would really have me blogging on my own domain. First steps first.
I do like the WordPress software. And this theme? So nice.
So to get the ball rolling with some actual content, let me give credit to my inspiration for the name, the great Mr. Chris Onstad, and the final words to his awesome Volvo of Despair series.
If all I did here was link to his work, I’d consider it a good use of my time. He is a true artist of the Blogger form, as well, and as good an excuse for that medium as anyone could make.
