So today I took a class at old town for circuit bending put on by Patrick. Here is his web site. Even though its not listed there if you go to the Old Town School site you can sign up for the november class.

here is the first thing i have recorded with toy that I bent at the class. All the sounds are made from the toy. I fed it through my guitar effects just for the looping and some delay. I know its long and rambly but it was really fun to make so whatever. There are some sections with long pauses, just be patient as I am still fiddeling with the toy and the current knob i have is very sensitive.

Avant/Chicago: talks about how the Printers Ball was shut down early by the cops. Not a good week for local print publications.

Chicago Reader Blogs: News Bitesblog has a bit of info and links about the sale of the Chicago Reader. I can’t help but be pessimistic about this as I fear this will have an affect on what the Reader covers and will look/reads like. I hope my fears are ungrounded and that Creative Loafing doesn’t meddle much or at all.

A very sad day indeed. He was one of the most amazing writers this country has ever produced. I am to as for words.

So I have finally gotten around to uploading all the water colors that I have done to date to my flickr account. You can view them here , it will show them as a slide show for your viewing convenience.
