Project Calliope is a nice project that I wanted to advertise here. Sandy, a friend, is working for both the future of science and art: he is building a satellite in his basement that is intended to record the sound of space once in orbit. Yeah well, I see you coming, you're thinking I smoked the carpet again or that guy is just one more crazy geek that's hopping to enter in communication with the little green men. Nah my friend, this is absolutely serious.

I'm in a serious and furious mood... I see Faith no More, which is to me one of the best band of the 90's, I say I see Faith no More, reunited, playing in front of thousands of people this past year 2009, touring all around Europe (35 dates, I counted!), Israel, South America, and even Australia this coming February 2010, and, and, are they planning to play in their own country?!? Naaaah!!! Not even one gig scheduled yet!!! Come on guys? How is this possible?

Well, I don't really care that you tour all the US, just come and play in your nation's capital, Washington DC, and I'll be perfectly happy with that.

Look what they did to my car and my mopped !!!

One of the most dangerous suburb of DC. Freaky, but sadly true. More here.

Catwoman and I was at the Pixies concert yesterday at the DAR Constitution Hall. Oh, look at this picture from 20 years ago, they are so cute! All right, they might not look exactly the same now, but they still have the sound! And yes, my eyes were still watering when I got that full blast of Gouge Away in my face. Where is my mind?... I know, it's in Rock'n'Roll. Thank you Pixies!

Thanks to the advises of Miss M., we went to see The Pimp of Joytime this past Saturday at the Bohemian Cavern in DC. And yes, they manage to make DC people move there booty ! And some of them were dancing like crazy !!! If you don't believe me, ask Cat woman, she was there too even if she won't admit it.

Good job guys !

We were talking about this guys at practice tonight. That's some serious rock'n'roll !

Everybody knows I'm a mega fan of Lady Gaga. Here we go. Pump up the volume guys, and shake your ass !

This Sunday, Cat Woman brought me in her favorite club: the Black Cat in DC. I want to see some "art", she told me with a British accent. I want to see some Art Brut !

And that was pretty fun !!!

Here is just a purified and distilled version of one of their tunes. Volume cranking and neighbours disturbing required.

Art Brut - Alcoholics Unanimous on MUZU.

Just talk to my cousin; Judas Priest apparently released an album. I heard couple of tracks, this sounds as awesome as ever, this guys are really into their stuff and I like that.

Incidentally, looking at Rob Halford, the singer of Judas Priest, I'm wondering if I won't use his example for my Halloween costume this year.
