Warriors Party Review

Saturday, October 29th, 2005

All in all, the Warriors Party at Oslo in Detroit last night was a blast. It was good to see lots of people rally around the idea, and get costumed up. We had a good force out for our gang, “Das Superheros” (name created by me, just now). I’ve posted a photo album from last night in my photo gallery.

Ed. note: Apparently our gang didn’t get our photo officially taken, we all went upstairs, someone took our photo and we thought that “was it.” Oh well, booooo. The photo is here.

Ian Svenonius on Marketplace

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

I just heard Ian Svenonius (see: Weird World War, The MakeUp, Nation of Ulysses) doing a commentary on Marketplace. He connects the policies of Alan Greenspan’s and their effect on the real estate market to recent trends in band downsizing in movements of 21st Century rock (ie Electroclash). Everything I ever read by him comes off as so far fetched, but he always connects in true intellectual fashion. I am not lying when I say, Ian Svenonius is one of the greatest minds in Rock and Roll today. So good.
