The Flaming Who

This may already be old news to hipper mods, but I am not that. Man, the Who and the Flaming Lips have always been high on my list of favorite bands. When they get to "I'm Free", I mean, the song is already there, then the Lips kick it into another gear. This makes me very happy. This year has been restoring my faith in music. See for yourself:

Yeah, thanks! It's nice to have some space between projects at work. I actually get to take a lunch and catch up on stuff. (NOT COMPLAINING!)

The thing I wanted to say about this particular clip is that I love a few of the parts where the guitar just fucking kills. The Who were so great at this balls-out rock, and the Lips, while primarily known for psychedelic rock, can pull this off as well as anyone.

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
