Winter slogs along, and so I turn to my favorite music video to give me a pick me up this afternoon at work. I was actually inspired to watch it again, since my pal Paulie pointed me in the direction of a wicked cool contest being held by the kids at the mp3 blog, Said The Gramophone.
Basically, they're asking you to make a music video. Pick any song you've ever loved. Follow your inspirado. Woila. If you're lucky, you can win the biggest indie rock prize pack I've ever laid eyes on. And so, if I had a camera and some editing software, I might consider it. But I don't -- and besides, Paulie came up with his own video -- and it's just fannnnntastic. You should check it out (and make your own):
In other news, there are some great photographs (if I do say so meself) from Diesel's Birthday Party a few weeks ago. The uber-illness has delayed their release to the world, but now they're here for everyone to enjoy. The new lens that Hydro and I got for Christmas has turned out some pretty pics, that's for sure. (Oh, and congratulations to brother Mok on his win -- I can't help but feel that he must have cheated, but I just don't know how. Probably by plying me with all them glasses of Yuengling.)
And last -- but certainly not least -- a most Happy of Birthdays to Dr. Jack Hrkach. The spiritual leader of my collegiate years is ticking off another notch today -- well on his way to living the life of luxury he's always dreamed of: retiring to that small farmhouse in Italy, drinking wine and reading The Seagull... while enjoying the company of a beautiful bella.
