Play Dough

Hello friends. It's been a long time since my last post, but I couldn't stay away forever. Here's my tiny contribution for the week. Enjoy.

Llama Fest

A few weeks ago I bought an old scanner off craigslist with the thought that it would be a cheap way to digitize some of my slides and negatives. It's been great. But imagine the look of incredulity and awe on my face when a mere hour ago I discovered a treasure trove just sitting on my desk: 3D color negs from Llama Fest 2005! That's right folks, if you have been waiting your whole life for a stereographic glimpse of a llama nursing her young, wait no longer.


Llama Fest is great, by the way. If you're living near Spanish Fork, Utah I'd highly recommend going. Take your llama and you can compete in the races and the obstacle course. Here's a link to the Krishna Temple.

Graveyard Gif

Tis the season for cemetery gifs. If you watch this gif long enough, you might just see the crypt keeper himself open the door... Just kidding, but that would be a great thing to tell someone you don't like when you forward them this gif.

Moto Perpetuo

What makes a great song? I suppose no one can say for sure, but I personally am a subscriber to the One Finger Theory. That is, if you play the melody with one finger, and it still sounds good, you've got a winner.

The melody above is a little excerpt from Bach. Borrowed by The Toys in 1965, this melody gave them their biggest pop single, hitting #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Why only #2? The #1 song in December of 1965 was "Yesterday", by The Beatles. I wonder how Bach feels about this?

Looking for more rock music? Check out www.fictionist.com. In addition to finding some great tunes, you might also some great gifs. Hidden gifs. It might take a little investigative-clicking to uncover them - I might even suggest "double-clicking" in a very obvious place for a gif to appear. Just a hint. Happy hunting.

P.S. Rest in peace Jerry Leiber. Just heard the news. What would rock be without you?
