More on Concert Vids
The night after writing that last post, I turned on the Palladia TV channel while I was eating. I caught the end of U2’s Rattle and Hum and then the start of a MTV Live: The Cure in Rome.
The Cure Live in Rome made Rattle and Hum look like Hitchcock’s Rope.
The Cure in Rome show came on, and in either the first or second song, just during the first line of singing they changed camera angles more than ten times! There are some funny examples on youtube.
By the way, did you know Rattle and Hum is over 20+ years old? Holy crap

Cartoons on the Bus
I’ve been mixing up my bus commute as far as reading material goes- well, that is to say, I’ve been reading a bit less. One of the reasons that happened is because I put a few seasons of The Venture Bros. on my iphone. I can usually squeak in one episode per trip to the office from my stop.
I just have to pimp out this cartoon though- it’s freaking brilliant. I got to be “that creepy guy” at the back of the bus because there were many times that I “lol’d”. So, do yourself a favor, and check out the show. If you don’t want to buy it from Amazon, it’s on Netflix.March 16, 2009 No Comments
Fitz Pushes My Buttons w/ SA News
Damn that Fitz. He knows me so well that he can push my buttons and send me to the “red zone” with only one link.
Check this crap out:A councilwoman in SA wanted to rename Guenther St to Mango St. Those of you not from SA will not realize that 1) this is a historic street and 2) The House on Mango St is a book from Sandra Cisneros. 3) Sandra Cisneros (no relation to the councilwoman) is from Chicago 4) The man who really revitalized that area doesn’t even have a street named after him, and if they were to rename something down there, they should start with him (Mathis) 5) there already is a Mango St in SA, it’s on the SW side. Apparently she also suggested that SA sell off Market Square. Wow, what a strong of greatest hits. I like the comments in the article too, although I suspect that a lot of them will get taken down soon. Like this one:
Ouch. But to dismiss the criticism, fta:I propose we rename the street that Henry and Mary Alice Cisneros live on to Linda Medlar Lane!
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeCouncilwoman Cisneros seemed to recognize right away that was not feasible,. said Roselyn Cogburn, the association’s interim secretary.
Cisneros released a statement through her campaign manager that she was only looking for ways to honor the author, saying, “I did not make any specific recommendations for renaming any streets.”

Bloom for iPhone
I just thought I’d share a bit about an iPhone app I’ve been playing with a lot lately. I downloaded Bloom (it’s 3.99) from iTunes last week or so. It’s from Brian Eno & Peter Chilvers. It’s an “art project” app- but I like to think of it as an ambient music generator.
I know it doesn’t seem like I’d be in to Ambient music, but I always have some Eno on my iphone for turbulent flights or scary bus rides or stressed out days at work. Ya never know when you’ll need to calm the f*%k down right? Here’s a video of someone else playing with the app. It’s obviously better to play with the app when you have your headphones on, but you can still hear some of the background music in the video below.Bloom iPhone Application from Lawrence Brown on Vimeo. And just for fun, some youtube user’s video for Brian Eno – An Ending (from the Apollo album)

The Magic Backpack
My backpack is dying. It’s my favorite backpack. I either need to get it repaired or get a new one. And I don’t like the new ones I’ve seen.

Mas Tortas Ahogadas!
My friend KP took me out for a late-bday lunch today. We wandered across to Mexico DF. And looky-looky, they had tortas ahogadas on the menu! Kenny Happy!
I just wish we could’ve had tequila… but alas we had to get back to the office. We’re both too busy to really not eat at our desks, so that was an added treat.

Look Familiar?
This guy’s tshirt looks just like one that Cuatro sent me a while back, but with Manu– like this one.
And just for good measure:He’s got some underarm deodorant you’re familiar with, it’s called SLAM.
