Not much happenin' here... just ramping up for TomTEN... Oh, a fun addition to the festivities will be the famous LOVE LOG! I know I've professed my affinity for it already but be prepared to take your picture kissing/hugging/caressing/feeling-up the storied Wrenshack LOVE LOG... it will bring your lovingness a special something you can't get anywhere else... it's the Northwoods Viagra!!
And a couple new pictures of Fin... he's still most happy when he is carrying something around... so happy!!!
Alright... So I tried and tried to find a decent live vid of this tune but was unable... so you get a big nothing for visual but the Felice Bros got it happenin... check it out...
So it's been raining and cold and windy and raining some more ever since I have gotten done with school... but hey, a crappy week off from work is still way better than a beautiful week when you have to be at work...
So, without further chatter.... The song of the week... as an enticement....
Hey folks... Breaking news on the TomTEN front... looks like we'll have the Northernmost Pilots headlining the 2nd Annual Northwoods Dingwop... TomTEN.
Here is the tentative lineup... Waayy Blitzed (Mark & Toria Macham) Wayne Misgen (that would be me!) Sid "Sleepy" Bruhjell featuring Mic Anheuser Jim "Sav" Savre TBA The Northernmost Pilots
Things are ramping up... schools out in 3 days... working on new tunes... we've got a good buzz going on at work about TomTEN... of course those are all older teacher-types... but thats ok.
Just wanted to share one thing with you cats... and feel free to send me your own.... This week I'm giving an imaginary award to the "most uncomfortable feeling of the week" And it goes to.... Driving on the Oliver bridge, which connects the tiny town of Oliver and ultimately Superior and West Duluth, while a Bazillion ton train rides on the tracks directly above you.... as the picture details... you are on the section below... and mind you, the road used to be big wood slabs instead of concrete or pavement up until 5 years or so ago....
OH... song of the week goes to... Charlie Parr with "Loser Like Me"
So I'm stacking up some wood yesterday and come along this chunk of wood and I'm like..."Wow!" and thought to myself... I should save that... so I did. I stuck it out on the front steps and when I saw DellMarie next I told her about the cool piece of wood she needs to go check out... she comes back in and says, "yeah? So what?"... so I figured she is spawn of the devil and filled with hate... you decide if this is worthy of at least a "yeah, that's cool man" or not. Here it is.... Some other pics from the afternoon...
So... final touches on the TomTEN lineup are being made... yet to be determined if we'll have new additions to the lineup... but promises to have a few suprises. If I haven't announced it yet... TomTEN goes down JULY 17... be there and bring a friend!
And finally... the song of the week goes to.... Deer Tick (since it's that time of year)... with Easy.
What the hell. So May 7th, my birthday, brings a freakin' snowstorm... we got like 2+ inches that stuck on the ground... so if it was actually cold enough where the first 2 inches didn't melt on contact, we would have had 4+ inches of snow... May 7th.... only in Minnesota... I'm not complaining though... keeps things interesting... could you imagine living in Arizona... today it was 88 degrees. Tomorrow it will be 87 degrees. This weekend it will be 88 degrees again....ugh. One of these pictures is during the day of the snow and one is at night after it really started to stick as you can faintly see in the background.
So DellMarie and I watched a little CSI Miami tonight and I came up with a great drinking game for that show... If you've ever watched it... Horatio Cane, the lead detective dude played by David Curruso of NYPD Blue fame, has a tendency of saying a dramatic line, putting on sunglasses and then walking off the camera shot. Example.... Cane says,"The verdict is in Frank, (puts on sunglasses) but the jury is out." and then he walks off screen... every freakin scene he does ends this way... If you took a drink every time this happened you wouldn't be awake to see the end of the show.
So I decide to YouTube it and there is a plethera of Heratio Cane one-liners but the best part is that there is a bunch of folks contributing their own... like "Sir, there was semen found on the victim's lips. CANE: "Sometimes the truth (puts on sunglasses) is hard to swallow." or "Sir we found the victim's penis in a jar of peanut butter. CANE: "Well you could say (puts on sunglasses) he was fucking nuts." Check it out... hilarious. Play the game too - you'll be like teenage wasteland... "We're all wasted!"
Alright, so song of the week goes to The Swell Season... "Low Rising"... diggin' ths soulfullness of this one...
