The new year starting

happy new year all.   NYE was a shitload of fun.  I was celebrating the year 3035 for most of the night, I wandered around the hotel fully lost, got yelled at by a hammered old lighting board guy, whole bunch of weird things; I also found that I have a red-orange chakra aura, and I met a dude who carried laser swords on his back who happens to be an aerial acrobat.  Fun times, serious fun times seem to have been had by all.  Solid Gold played and a whole cast of visitors from all parts of the country came to town; Varun, Kloke, Looch, LT, Skye, John, plus all of the Minneapolis people I spent any amount of time with (a list would probably leave someone out, and with such great people I don't want that to happen);  It was just an excellent group of people to have an excellent night.  Beats last year with a big hammer.  2009, you done.

I tried

I tried to give mtv a chance with the whole "show videos late at night" thing; but most of the videos suck and I've now given up hope.  On the other hand The Situation is my new hero, the dude knows what's up.

NYE business usually sucks, this might be different

New Years Eve with Solid Gold at the Marriot.   It's a charity event to support a local high school's music program, school music programs are super important and often one of the first things cut from cash strapped budgets.  Without music or art programs there would probably be fewer artists and musicians out in the world for us to enjoy simply because they were never exposed to that emotional/creative outlet.
   This is a way to put something back into a world that we as music fans enter each time we hit the play button or get our hands stamped.  Besides all of the noble charity stuff this should be a really fun night.   Today I'm going and picking up a few things to make the show look rad.  Unlike the video shoot, I probably will be getting a smoke machine.

song of today

these dudes are from milwaukee. that is probably the biggest reason I chose this for today.  It is a cool track though Les Rhythmes Digitales meets Phoenix

is Dov played by Ben Stiller?
