Yes, it's true. Flannel is making a comeback. And I'm not talking about the kids you see walking around the malls
in their obnoxious colored ones.I mean, the Seattle-sound, kick-ass 90's Flannel and what it represents - Great Music!
Soundgarden has reunited. Tour by the summer. New Music in the future.
Stone Temple Pilots is in the studio finishing up a new album. Toured all last year and plan on
touring again this year.
Alice in Chains reformed and released a new album last year. They have been touring including a show
with STP this coming summer. Hopefully a full tour together later this year?
90's Rappers Cypress Hill have a new album coming out in April called "Rise Up". I have heard 2 tracks and they rock!!
Including one with SSSC's / RATM Tom Morello.
It's been 15 years since Bill Watterson decided to end his comic strip Calvin & Hobbes,
and the world wept (well, maybe it was just me). I do have most of the collected books
and get nostalgic and like to read through them.
Mr. Watterson decided to break his silence with an interview with his hometown paper
in Cleveland. Read it HERE.
One of the most recognizable (and great) Ad Campaigns happens to
be for Apple and their products. From the colorful i-Tunes ads
to these great ones with Justin Long & John Hodgman. They have
done 66 spots with those two since 2006.
Enjoy! See them here
Battlestar Galactica it's not, BUT it is part of the BSG universe,
and I will give it a chance. I speak of CAPRICA, the BSG spin-off,
taking place in the past.
I watched the pilot last fall and I thought it was pretty good.
Looking forward to them flushing out the characters and plot lines.
There is some good potential there. Give it a shot Friday January 22nd.
Watch the Pilot HERE as well as other cool stuff.
I love this time of year - PLAYOFF FOOTBALL!!!
The Chargers were the #2 team so they got the first round bye and missed
Wild Card weekend. We are going to play the J..E..T..S.. on Sunday and I'm
super stoked! I think we match up well and can beat them.
This week Nike released an un-aired commercial starring LT which is weird
timing being the playoffs and all, but it's so tongue-in-cheek and funny,
I LOVE IT.
UPDATE -
Chargers bounced after their first playoff game... sick to stomach... UUUGH!!!!
New Years Reflections
I must say, this has been a really good year. 2009 has brought much
fulfillment to my life. But as all good things, they come to an end,
so I reflect on the good and bad of it all.
• End of BSG
• Return of the Old Spaghetti Factory
• A New Camera & many photo opportunities
• Cage the Elephant, Street Sweeper, Them Crooked Vultures and
NIN/JA - all great shows!
• Comic-Con adventures
• Yachting adventures with LT
• First time to Boston
• Foo Fighters Greatest Hits
Biggest Positive - Having someone to share my time and adventures with
Biggest Regret - Missing out on a exclusive FF show
List of things to accomplish in 2010:
Be Creative, Shoot Photos, Paint, Draw, Exercise More - Eat better,
Read, Experience Life, Travel more, Pay off Bills, and Work smarter.
Like everyday in my life, I feel lucky for my career,
friends, family, job, love, car, cat, creativity, and life.
Thank you. Good Night and Good Luck.
