Sorry for the absence, but the holidays are crazy. Casey's moving, and only came back into town on Tuesday, so I am spending a lot of time with him.

I got as message today from Ex. #1 telling me that his mom is in the hospital with Ovarian cancer. I am not sure what I am supposed to do.

So here is something funny and light hearted:





Here's the sequel, I found it later.

Fine then!

And enjoy this anyway.

This is the best quality sound and picture wise. "Coconut Skins" off of 9.


"9 Crimes" off of 9. Don't ever listen to anyone who says that Lisa Hannigan isn't given enough respect/credit/time. She is given them, and deserves it 100%.


"Eskimo" off of O. It's fun, it's grand.


"Volcano," the very first Damien Rice song I ever head. This is what made me buy the CD O, which it is featured on. Album version has strings where Lisa improvises.


"Accidental Babies" from 9. The sweetest love song ever, from the point of view of "the other guy." Honestly, I wasn't expecting it the first time I heard it and I cried. In my car. In the parking lot at work. I don't like the quality, but you need to hear this song.


Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan play "Unplayed Piano" and "Cold Water" at the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo.

Yes.

Dos Blokes - the other side of Halloween

Forget your warm and fuzzies! Here is a film that was created in part by a guy I befriended during a class. It's soooo Hallo-weenie. The first 3/4 is gory, but the last little bit is worth it. I nearly wet myself the first time I saw it.

"This gritty and thought provoking short film provides a twisted look at a national epidemic. Filmed for the "Bloodshots 48 Hour Filmmaking Challenge," Dos Blokes earned the Austin Critic's Award from producer John Pierson and film critic Harry Knowles. Then, it was selected for the grand prize by Sin City director Robert Rodriguez. It has since played at the 2005 South By Southwest Film Festival and many other festivals around the country.CREATED BY: Chris Anderson, Brian Clark, Kent Kincannon, Jack McWilliams, Austin Miller, Charles Mills, Jesse Moorefield, Marlo Nespeca, Mike Perry, Nick Robinson, Michael Simpson, Joshua Stroud and Bruce Tazakkol."
