Carl Perkins + George Harrison and Dave Edmunds = Kick Ass

This is from a Carl Perkins tribute show in the 80s, and is some prime rockabilly. George Harrison and Dave Edmunds in particular seem to be having a great time, which just adds to the great sound and vibe.

28 years later...

Twenty-eight years ago today, John Lennon was murdered outside his apartment. I know that singing the praises of the Beatles is almost a cliche at this point, but in the end, these guys were THE best. And what happened to John (and George) is not what he deserved, as he and all the Beatles really gave something positive to the world.

Here's a video of "(Just Like) Starting Over," a tune from Double Fantasy that I really love.

Attack of the Sketchbook #8 - Superman

I took a stab at Supes looking to the left last night, taking Chris's advice to try different angles when drawing and see how you do. Anyways, this is the result:

Revenge of the Sketchbook! (a.k.a. AOTS #7 - Captain America)

Elliott Smith Was Awesome

I've been listening to a lot of my Elliott Smith records lately -- From a Basement on a Hill and XO, in particular -- and it's strange. I've forgotten just how good he really was. Not just as a singer and songwriter, but as a producer as well. His songs had just enough on them to not sound like Robert Pollard's tossed off mediocrities, but not too much on them to sound dated to any specific time period.

Anyways, here's a killer cover of the Beatles' "I Me Mine" by Mr. Smith:

Best Photo Ever?

(That's Gary Coleman and Mark Messier, for those wondering.)

Update: Sick, Watching Hockey

Nope, it doesn't get much better than this. At home on a rainy day, watching the Rangers, the warm glow of a laptop keeping me company. That part is great. The sick part -- sore throat, light headed, and a cough -- sucks. So maybe it does get better than this.

Anywho, it's been awhile. Anyone out there? The podcast will probably return at some point. Otherwise, don't worry. We're all alive; we're just lazy.

...

Ah, crap. The Rangers just lost, 3-1.
