Chickety Czech It!

The Hussy playing a surprise late-night set at Mickey

The Hussy played a surprise set after The Honey Slides at Mickey’s Tavern last month. Yeah! Anyhow, this post is to let you know to Chickety Czech out the blog / record label that Bobby (of the Hussy) has going. It’s called Kind Turkey.

The puffin has lasted longer than one might think.

The penguins have lasted longer than one might think.

Another one of the many random photos I took out in Maine.

Del! and Bukue One free show March 27th!

Del The Funky Homosapien! at The High Noon Saloon (Madison, WI)

So, if anyone is still searching for something to do tomorrow night, Del the Funky Homosapien (above) and Bukue One are playing a free show at the Majestic Theatre with locals Rob DZ and Weapons of Mass Defunktion.

If you missed the show last May at The High Noon Saloon, here’s a recap from A.V. Club Madison and one from right here.

If you haven’t seen Bukue One (below) or Rob DZ before, I recommend you get there early. Hell, get there early anyway. It’s free and will probably fill up fast.

If you’ve never heard Del! or Bukue, do yourself a favor and download some of their music on Bandcamp for free.

Del’s Bandcamp (I suggest checkin’ out Funk Man as a good starting point.)

Bukue One’s Bandcamp (Laser Reyes Vol. 1 is great for dance parties!)

Brown Derby at the Crystal Corner

I’ve got a few photos Jeremiah Nelson, Blake Thomas and Brown Derby (above) running in this week’s A.V. Club section of The Onion. They are part of the “Country music weeknights” article, which you can also view online at http://www.avclub.com/madison/articles/country-music-weeknights-brown-derby-blake-thomas,37250/.

Starting to find some use for some of the old film cameras with extinct film types. I’ll show you how I did this one soon. (BTW, clicking the photo will take you to its flickr page)

This cold weather is getting to me

About this time every year I start thinking about getting out of the Midwest for a week in search of someplace warmer. But, since I know that’s not going to happen this year, I just keep editing photos from last spring in Maine, when it was 80 degrees plus. I’m starting to think I should turn up the thermostat for the rest of the day…

It Was Time To Reinvigorate the Creative Juices

My creative juices have been running on fumes as of late, and, since I’m not one to rehash what I’ve already done while waiting for the ideas to start coming in again, I started looking around the interwebs for some fresh design to draw inspiration from. So, here’s a handful of things that I saw on Flickr and turned into a gallery.

I’ve built up quite a collection of links and images for creative inspiration. I’ll be posting more here.
