Birthdays & Ignored Emails
To put how my priorities are lined up into perspective, yesterday was my birthday and my family spent the day emailing back and forth waiting for me to respond and tell them when might be a good time to get together and celebrate. I then spent the day watching West Wing and the evening working on stuff. After ignoring the emails as long as I could (until about 1am this morning), I responded and...

About that "ideal concert venue" talk
Not 3min into the second set we overloaded the circuit breaker feeding our power amps. We must be doing something right.
That’s how I got lost in the death trap that is this bar’s basement searching for a circuit breaker panel that wasn’t down there. Found some really old fuse panels wide open with live electricity in them. Got pretty far away from those as soon as I found...

"Work"
It’s nice to just get out and “work” sometimes. Few things are more awesome than having a good crowd on the dance floor having a spectacular time.
Now if I could just get this bartender off my butt. I spend an hour assembling a good playlist for intermission and he tells me I have to kill it and then he goes and turns on hip hop and country music when I’ve got an...

The Catch-22
melindil:
FOR THE RECORD IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE CLINICALLY INSANE. INSANITY IS A LEGAL CONCEPT, NOT A CLINICAL ONE. DON’T FUCKING REFER TO ANYONE OR ANYTHING BEING CLINICALLY INSANE OR I WILL TEAR YOU APART.
/end therapist rant
True story.
Insanity is purely a legal concept. It’s so when a psychologist is brought in front of a jury, the lawyer can say that someone was not of...

The best left-handed advice I have to offer.
Just a few days ago I gave someone on Tumblr some advice (you know who you are). It was some of the best left-handed advice I have to offer. You should understand that my left-handed advice is right up there with my left-handed compliments. They’re both very serious and yet incredibly cynical. At face value, you might be even be tempted to laugh and while I admit I crack a smile myself...

TMJ4
danielholter:
A little birdie told me that if you’re in the Milwaukee area watching the Channel 4 news this evening, you just might see a quick bit on my recording studio Burst HQ.
I just saw a blip on TMJ4 about Rhianna in your studio and then something about “sextortion”. What the hell do you guys have going on over there?
Anonymous asked: Are you homosexual? I see you like dance and theatre.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I wasn’t just passing a guy who had said something naughty to the police officers or who had stolen a car. I was actually watching a guy commit suicide.
I arrived to the scene just as police officers were. We, as drivers in traffic, had only just realized that it’d be a good idea to divert and take another route as squad cars came from every...

What the hell is in the air tonight?
I saw one unmarked squad car on the way home with a car pulled over, three squads responding to a fender bender, and what looked like the entire Brookfield Police Dept. on Bluemound Road with all lanes blocked and guns drawn at a car on the side of the road.

Uncut Interview Between Rachel Maddow and Jon... →
Jon discusses what the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear was really about, why he thinks it’s inappropriate to call President George Bush a war criminal for waterboarding suspected terrorists, and why he thinks the media needs to stop taking their lessons in journalism from The Daily Show and learn to work in a 24-hour news cycle without making everything “BREAKING NEWS”.
