Burn this mother down!!!!!!




So it has been a little chaotic lately around my house. One of the three major forces of nature is taking its toll on the San Gabriel Valley. Fire has ravaged the forest in Northern Azusa, as well as the Angeles National Forest in Tujunga, and La Canada....The increase in heat (It has been 100 + degrees the past three days) has not helped much at all. Now it has ripped east across the mountain range and is parallel with East Pasadena. Emergency Evacuation has been put into place in the previously mentioned towns, and the cloud cover was so gnar when I woke up this morning that I had to close my window because my room smelt like I was at a campfire for a week and didn't wash any of my clothes....Supremely bad smell to wake up to. Much respect to the Men and Women in the Fire Departments around L.A. County and all the volunteers that have been sacrificing their time, and vehicles to help accommodate those who have had to be evacuated. Here are a few pics of the carnage that man started and Mother Nature took into her incubating hands. Still want to live in California? I don't blame you!

Ingloriously Glorious.

I went and saw The Inglorious Basterds last night. Tarantino did not disappoint. The script was amazing. Certainly a stretch for the usually gory director. Aldo the Apachee, The Bear Jew, The short one and the rest were amazing. Lets just say watching history rewritten has never been so Glorious.

White Russians


This summer so far has been nothing but late night sessions with Piero. Lots of booze and lots of spliff action. I can say its been a safe, sick summer so far. Despite the lack of money I am floating along as much as anybody
Late Night session with Piero.....

Paco, My Hero!

So in the time I have had since my last post (Accidental Post I was tinkering around with some Widgets that I found) I have had some inspiration from my good buddy Piero. He hails from Italy where he recently graduated from the University at Bologna with his degree in Computer Science. I as most people do in life hit a wall whether it be musically, scientifically, or even just in life. Piero has helped inspire me to learn a different style of guitar playing. Flamenco! This is a major break-through for me because I have needed to take my playing to the next level, and I am hoping I can do so with the guise and direction he has lent me in his instructional booklet. I am very excited to get learning, and I thought as an extra treat I would post THE all-time great Flamenco guitarist Paco De-Lucia. So prepare yourself for some serious serious guitar playing...The video I chose is of Paco in his heyday in the mid 1970's.... If you don't know, then now you know!!!!!!
