Back to the Drone of Things.
-The weekend was aaaalright Saturday, I ran into Kaleb, and ended up riding around downtown OKC with a bunch of fixies. Kind of fun, but couldn't keep up with the bike talk. And last night went to Rogue Wave with my good pal, Jeremy. On the subject of the show.......quite a different scene than last time we went. It was filled with a bunch of college kids with beer bottles in hand. and was the first show at the Opolis which sold out. But wasn't too crowded for being sold out, not like the good ole days of the Green Door, being crammed against a speaker or something. The show was good though, the opening band, Midnight Movies, wasn't really anything special. Their music was sub par and quite monotonous. BUT, they had a chick drummer, and chick singer, which switched places periodically, so they get plus points for that maneuver. and the singer was hot. Just glad it wasn't a crappy local band. Rogue Wave set was good, mixed with old, semi old and new songs. Always nice when the band plays a mix, and somehow were able to transition their slower songs very well (California, Christians in Black-which I think were the best songs played). I tend to draw comparisions of what the band looks like, and last night was not any different. Their 'new' guitar player looked like a Nam Vet, complete with a military jacket with patches on it, dickies and grey hair. The frontman, kind of looked like he could be on MTV or something. But dont get me wrong, he was quite entertaining with his intermission stories including kicking robert plant in the balls and his love for Purple Rain... and the drummer looked like Howard from The Mighty Boosh, complete with mustache/fu manchu, but a bit skinnier and with an afro. Here's somewhat of a visual on the youtubes. Rogue Wave also performed what had to be the greatest drum transition ever. They ended a song with the drummer playing, then eventually each of the band members started playing their own drums, beating the amps, etc, then then after like five mins, they busted into Lake Michigan. It was a nice.
-It's Lego's 50th. How exciting. Here's a short timeline.
-Inside the cockpit.
-Puma's Glow in the Dark bike. Even the orange looks pretty good, and I'm not really even a fan of orange things.
-Story behind the biohazard logo. Interesting read. It's funny how the logo is really just an abstract mark, based on the idea of being remembered, rather than representing something, which is really the basis of 98% of logos.
-I told you block/slab serifs were the new sans serifs. I'm liking these: Archer. Black Sabbath.
