another weird dream

so, we’re at warped tour, which is taking place at marc hudson’s place, only it’s not his place at all. there is a very small parking lot next to his house, which (through the magic of dreamland spatial nonsense) somehow can fit the entire warped tour and all the tents in it.

i am at the merch tent for “medina lake” (is that a band? i’ve never heard that name before, but it sounds like a warped tour band), when a sudden gust of wind starts violently blowing it (but none of the other tents) away. i grab on to the poles and am lifted upwards towards the sky.

i suddenly begin steering the makeshift glider over the city, and expertly (as if i’d this sort of thing before), i land in front of the home of my friend, anthony ciatti (only, again, it’s not his home at all). there, i walk in the door and find another old friend, michael warren, returning my hi-hat stand that he borrowed (in dreamland, not in the real world), without either of us caring or saying a word about the fact that i just landed a medina lake merch tent glider in the street.

the end.

slappa da ugly bass

this is not photoshopped.

i was stumbling on reddit the other night and stumbled on that picture. being the skeptic that i am, i looked into it and found out that it is, indeed, real and there are more where that one came from. the guy’s name is stig pedersen and he plays in the danish rock band, “d-a-d”. according to the article:

Stig’s bass guitars only have two strings or three strings. He found out in the late ’80s that he only used the E and A string when he played, and made it his mark, to have funny, good looking basses. He is also seen using a one string bass at gigs (only one string away from an air guitar). Stig designs his own bass guitars based on his own ideas and imagination.

funny? definitely. good looking? that’s up for debate. judge for yourself:
