It is the very act of “concentrating” on writing music which makes it difficult to do, since ideas normally arise when one is not focused but when one is “open” in some way. – Brian Eno

Gidget Gein “Post Mortem” – Opening Reception July 24
Musician, writer, bagboy and artist Gidget Gein is perhaps best known as the original bassist for shock-rock outfit Marilyn Manson, but his surreal-pop exploitation art proved to be the most consistent creative outlet in his life – one tragically abridged by an unintentional drug overdose on October 8, 2008. “Post Mortem” references Gein’s career as a mortuary assistant, while addressing the mortality of the artist himself in keeping with his signature dark, sardonic sense of humor.

Barack Obama – The Freshman Photos
I’ve been a bit busy with everything but I finally have the time to upload the photos that I took at M+B last month. These photos were taken while Barack was a freshman at Occidental College by one of his peers, Lisa Jack. Imagine the odds of photographing some kid that ends up being the first black president of the USA. Butters….
Oh yea, here is the link to view all of the photos….
P.S. I am in no way, shape, or form a professional photographer….easy on the criticism

FreshPick: Roots – How I Got Over
This took me 2 listens to vibe to it, but I’m diggin it. I think Cody Chestnutt (pause) would’ve done a better job on the hook though. Just my opinion.

Walrus TV Artist Feature: Jeff Soto from “The Run Up”
There’s always that theme of conflict, of man versus nature, and usually nature seems to win.

My goal is to do music 24/7, not to own a mansion in the country and develop a debilitating coke habit, so this is just a step towards that. – Fake Sensations
