Magnetic Poetry Corner: mystical union on the fridge

Whenever we have people over to visit, one of the first things they do is use the Magnetic Poetry set on our refrigerator. Given the temporal nature of these creations, I thought it would be cool to start archiving some of them. Maybe this will incite more people to visit us - not only do you get to spend time with Carla and myself, there’s a chance your work will be posted on the internet on a website with….tens of visitors each month!

Anyway, to start things off, here’s one I think I made:

something to remember...

remember
yesterday pierce s the present
ask the universe for joy
listen with sacred longing

Friday Frivolity: David Caruso edition

“Ike, do your impression of David Caruso’s ridiculous opening one-liners from CSI:Miami!”

Caution: this goes on way too long. It wears out its welcome at around the halfway mark, and then, in true Sideshow Bob rake gag fashion, gets better again.

Have a great Friday…
…Miami style.

*cue Roger Daltrey “YEEEAAHHHHHH!”*

Glen Phillips remix

Glen Phillips, one of my favorite songwriters, is sponsoring a contest to promote his new EP, Secrets of the New Explorers. Much like Nine Inch Nails, the Beastie Boys and Jim’s Big Ego before him, he’s provided the multi-track .wav files to his song “The Spirit of Shackleton” for budding remixers/arrangers/karaoke vocalists to do with what they please.

Having done this kind of thing before back in the old MP3.com days (check the remixes here), I was curious to see what I could come up with, and threw this together with a download of a loop-based music program, Glen’s tracks, and some stock loops. The original’s a little slower, but I was going for a more paranoid techno feel, in keeping with the lyrics of the song.

Check out some of the others at Kompoz.com, and if you like it, please leave a comment or something. I don’t know if public opinion will sway the judges, but the winner gets a guitar autographed by the man himself, and I could use all the validation from my heroes that I can get.
