Today was a day of boots, butts, leather, penises, tattoos, and Shiny Toy Guns. I think they are my favorite band right now. We went to the festival mostly just to see them, and i was not disappointed! (Except for the fact that they did not play my favorite song, “You Are The One“!) They have a new female singer. She is awesome! I don’t have many pictures to share, since we were only there for 1.5 hours.

Paul loves CSI. All of them! We watch hours and hours of CSI! Personally, i’d watch something else, but i do get something out of it. I discover a lot of incredible music from watching CSI. Actually, from commercials as well. Today, while watching an episode of CSI:NY, i heard a really groovy song in one of the scenes that i immediately recognized as being by the Swedish band The Knife. I recognized the voice, but i didn’t recognize the song. It’s called “We Share Our Mothers Health.” I originally discovered them from an episode of Criminal Intent, if i remember correctly, when i heard the phenomenal song “What Else Is There?” by Royksopp, (from Norway,) featuring singer Karin Dreijer of The Knife.
Around the same time, there was a hotel commercial featuring a song called “In The Morning,” by Junior Boys. (Another of my favorite songs and bands!)
While watching Criminal Intent, i discovered a heartbreakingly beautiful song called “Prisoner” by Adam Crossley.
There was also a Target commercial, (i believe,) that featured a song i really loved that turned out to be by Snoop Dogg! It’s called “Beautiful,” (ft. Pharrell.) I’m pretty sure it was another Target commercial that featured the groovy yet eerie song, “A Little Bit More” by Jamie Lidell, who i just saw on late night TV last night. (David Letterman maybe?)
Enjoy!
The Knife – “We Share Our Mothers Health”
Royksopp – “What Else Is There?” Interesting note: The woman floating around in this video, (with milk apparently pouring from her vagina,) is actually Marianne Schroder, a fashion model. (Karin, the actual singer, is the one eating the apple. Very confusing!)
Junior Boys – “In The Morning”

One thing i love about my new MacBook is the iSight photo booth, which i used to take these pics of me and my gray-band king snake, Magoo. I feed him a frozen mouse every 2 weeks. He’s pretty. Tonight, he wanted out, so i did a photo shoot with him.

Becky wrote to me. There was a tattoo she had wanted for like 20 years. She described to me a beautiful pin-up mermaid with curly red hair, riding a dolphin, holding up a margarita and laughing, and a yin yang. She writes about it here. This is how i interpreted it.
She still needs color. I’m working on that now. (The pair of clown fish are Paul and me!)
