Another spectacular video: Hooray for Earth

For a relatively unknown band, this video from Hooray for Earth is remarkable and should be thrown onto heavy rotation on a music television station that actually plays music videos.  Does anyone know where one of those is located?  I love it when vision and talent constructs inspiring art with relatively little means.  Beautifully shot [...]

Re-post now that I have my stupid page working….

Sorry about this….scroll down for the new music!!!  Just wanted to keep this stuff and get the page working properly, ya know?   click on image for .mp3 download it has been awhile since an artist i have never heard of, or been associated with any bands or scenes i have known of, has boiled [...]

on fire…

  click on image for .mp3 download I am on a roll here…I am not so much finding music as it is finding me.  I just happened across this photo and thought, “Is that a freakin’ owl?”  Little did I know at the time that my owl-curious nature would provide me with an amazing remix [...]

Smang it?

Testing out the goods…

And here we have a quick test to see if I can make this thing push itself onto Facebook…since FB is, well, the only way anyone communicates with anyone anymore….

welcome to the new fluidaffect

So, the old blog just wasn’t cutting it.  The format was tired and plain, and I had lost interest in writing.   Plus, I accidentally deleted my database and lost too much functionality and content. I needed a new start.  This is it.  Sleeker and focused on just writing…I hope you enjoy. C
