Brian's Xmas In July Mix


This mixtape was created by the illustrious Brian Teasley, the man responsible for getting soooo many amazing national acts to Birmingham via his production company, Secret History Productions. I can't say that this mix is actually Chrismassy in any respect. It is however, very much so ... kick-ass! Brian even typed out an entire set of liner notes to accompany the music (they are included with the download) ... This is what he has to say about his mix:

"Whether undeniably great or unlistenable, compilations can be murderous weapons—at least for me. Not that I’ve ever escaped being nearly stabbed to death by the dull edge of a TDK 90, but making a compilation is sort of the auditory version of passing a kidney stone. And I don’t know if you know this, but when you pass a kidney stone, you pee blood: that is to say, blood spews from your penis because something sharper than a diamond’s titty has jaggedly pierced the tender lining of your urinary tract. Make sense?"

Um ... well ... YESH!
Anyway, there's literally TONS more in the liner notes ... You can enjoy all of it right HERE.

Lafayette's own Krewe of Doom team


The trip to Lafayette was pretty amazing ... the folks in the Krewe Of Doom team (especially Pudd, Chris, Alyce, Robin and Mike) took Southern hospitality to a new level, treating us not only to great places to stay over and party, but to some spectacular food and friendship ... they also treated us to:

A. some quality gator spotting
B. a BB gun can shooting match
C. a drive-through daiquiri shack
D. an intense living room dance party
E. 4 hours of softball in Lafayette, Louisiana!

The game was INTENSE ... they ended up winning 19 - 18 ... pretty impressive, since it was their 1ST GAME EVER! The most important fact is that the game, on top of everything else was EXTREMELY FUN!!! (video footage coming soon!) We can't wait for the Krewe to visit the Ham (possibly as early as this September!)

The only down-side to this entire entry is that when I returned home from all the excitement, I discovered that my truck's passenger window had been completely smashed out and my cheap car stereo was gone ... quite a buzz-killer, it was! Anyway, there really was nothing else of value in the truck, so I think I'll just get a detachable-front stereo and leave my doors unlocked from now on ... ARGH!!!
