Tactical Nuclear Penguin… Got Proof?

November 30th, 2009 · No Comments

What is described as “bold, irreverent and uncompromising, a beer with a soul and a purpose, a statement of intent” is also BrewDog’s “most audacious and ambitious project to date”. Behold “Tactical Nuclear Penguin” billed as the worlds strongest beer at an amazing 32 proof. Yikes.
BrewDog, which describes itself as making “progressive, craft beers” [...]

Sushi : The Art Is Everything

November 28th, 2009 · No Comments

Chefs will tell you that you eat first with your eyes. Well, as that is the case, nothing says ‘yummy’ more than sushi. I love sushi and when I go to a sushi bar I am always blown away by the presentation. It is so much part of the fun.
The Japanese really [...]

Bambra

CAC War Kitty – Bambra
.
‘Bambra’ is Aboriginal (Australia) for mushroom.
This song sort of morphed over a couple of days from what had started out as a more melodic venture. But, I was struck by this particular drone from the didgeridoo… I enhanced it a bit and it became the backbone of the song. [...]

Video For My Me Mood Remix

November 24th, 2009 · No Comments

Me Mood – The Day After The Night Before (CAC War Kitty Remix)
I put this video together yesterday as a fun, off the cuff thing and loaded it up to YouTube etc… The remix has been out a couple of weeks now and you can get it at Beatport.
It’s kind of psychedelic, dark, experimental [...]

This Is My Bike

November 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

.
This is my bike. Not flashy and to some down right ugly. An oldie but goodie for sure. A hardtail that was meant to be used. Yup, steel frame. Lots of mileage.
I like to ride. I ride about 4-5 days a week. Not great distances… and now mostly at a good speed around the [...]

Then

I lost some friends along the way
Their smiles remind me here today
I’m better for just knowing them
I think about that now and then

That’s A Big Buddha

November 18th, 2009 · No Comments

Large statues can be found everywhere from New York to Rio but none seem as prolific as statues of Buddha… and there are some big ‘uns. The largest, so far, will be (it is still in the planning stage) the Maitreya Buddha in Uttar Pradesh, India that will measure 500 feet in height.
Some of the [...]

Gone In 2

CAC War Kitty – Gone In 2
.
Another piece I’m working on… there’s always that ‘maybe’ hidden in there. This beat/loop could be the nucleus for an uptempo experimental dance type thing. We’ve gotta wait and see. As usual whatever it is to be will probably not resemble this as it is today. [...]

All That I Hear

November 16th, 2009 · No Comments

.
All That I Hear
They danced on the cupcakes
Smiled at the cookies
Looking so silly
Like a dis-band of Wookies
With no destination
They all fell apart
With laughter an glee
It was a false start
Not surprising
One fellow said
Without a leader
We could not be lead
Caterpillar cracked
To many legs for a lap
I’m in need of a smoke
And maybe a nap
Well do what you [...]
