Devil Take My Soul


Ain't Going To Nike Town


Old times were good times

Tobacco Road

This song was first written for The Nashville Teens circa 1960, but was remade more then a few times by lots of different genres. This version came out a few years later by Lou Rawls, 1963. I think this is the best version...

And for reference, here's the original:

John Lee Hooker & Carlos Santana

I don't know where, when, why or how John Lee Hooker and Carlos Santana did a song together but I sure do like it.

The Libertines

I haven't had a chance to look into this group too much. All I know is they're out of England, formed in '97. They have 3 albums that I plan on investigating fully so they'll prob be another post about these guys... For now, here are the songs that I know of....

Fractal Art

Fractals are basically very complicated self-repeating patterns. They don't repeat in the sense of lining up the same picture next to each other over and over like a wall paper. The repeated pattern actually shows up if you zoom into a smaller part of the picture.

For this next one, if you were to zoom into the edges of the larger yellow swirls and blow the picture up, you would end up with the exact same picture. You could then look at the same edge of the yellow swirls, zoom in and blow up the picture and see the same picture again. Etc, Etc.


There are apparently tons on computer programs that can generate really great pictures. Here are some good ones I've found.

Perkins is the Man

And he got no fouls last night...

Paris: Photo Art

Jessie took this one. Pretty cool that his head has been replaced by a bright light.

It's looks like he's talking directly to the audience.

I like the shapes that all their arms make. I think the triangles draw your eye in a nice way. I also like that you can't see what everyone is looking at.

This by far one of my favorites. It looks like 2 pictures overlaid on each other, but it's really a reflection in the window. You can see the art exhibit behind the glass and the reflection of the square/motorcycle in the glass.

This is my favorite from the Louvre. Something about the light striking the statue of an angel seems so perfect.

I chose these because they're such a good 'spring-time in Paris' shots.


I like the lighting of this one and the way she's looking up and away.

I think Dave took this, it's a really cool zoomed in shot of sister and brother.

Great lighting, romantic shot, need I say more.

I liked this one especially because you can see the reflection of the sun on the table so you can tell we're relaxing at a cafe in the afternoon on a beautiful Parisian day.

I like these 2 because they're so engrossed.


A good black and white.

I chose this one for the lines. I like the effect of the river, the building and the direction of his head being parallel.

Just a classy parisian window display.
