My old friend Doug Rhödehamel just wrapped up his latest installation. It was in Orlando so I didn't attend, but judging by the photos it was otherworldly.

You can view the whole photo set on decaturshooter's flickr stream by clicking this photo. If you go there, view it in slideshow mode for maximum enjoyment: Set "Migration by Doug Rhödehamel" > View as slideshow.

Doug has been treating Orlando residents to a different perspective of the world for over ten years now.

Friday Treat: Machine Go Boom

This song is from the 2003 album Captain Obvious, by a most excellent Cleveland band called Machine Go Boom.

The Kazoo Star. listen

They have a new album out, too [Music for Parents]. Their web site looks a little out of date, but their myspace page looks to be active and has current album and tour info.

Friday Treat: Dirty, Stinking Dutch

My chuckle reflex has gotten a lot of mileage out of this song since I first heard it last summer. Top 10 on the British music charts in 1977.

Friday Treat: Destroy Cleveland

As you listen to this song, pretend you're in your car, pulling out of the parking lot of your workplace to begin your *last drive home before the weekend and that everybody you drive past is looking at you in admiration of how much you rock.

*Last drive home assuming that you aren't a waiter, cook, chef, mailman, cop, fireman or suicide hotline worker. If you are any of these, merely substitute 'your two days off' for 'the weekend'.

The music I post here must meet at least two of the three following requirements. It must:
* Rock
* Make me laugh [Sardonically, gleefully or...jollilly. That's right, you heard me.]
* Have something to do with Ohio

This week's song met all three requirements.
Title: Destroy Cleveland
Band: Cleveland Ohio's H100's
Genre: Raw Thrash

Listen [1.06MB MP3 46seconds]

Friday Treat: Moo

Have you ever wondered about the social implications of being a dairy cow? Well Mike Sophia did, and then he made a dreamy, earnest song about it called 'Cow'. Listening to it is sort of like finding an old recording of yourself you made as a kid and hearing it for the first time in years. Funny, low-fi, endearing and a little embarrassing.
