These guys are playing at Sweet Corn Festival (hey, I live in the Midwest) eight blocks from my house right now.

Warning: really long seventies-style guitar jam ahead.

Well, some of them are. Foghat has had a pretty high mortality rate over the years. But their mustaches still live on.

I don’t really know

 personally, but I’m always charmed by their LJ. For that reason, and because I’ve plugging my own spouse’s stuff a bit lately, I encourage you all (yes, you, and the other one) to take a look at the book Von has recently published.

It’s nice stuff. Plus you’ll be doing a very sweet couple a favor.

Thanks!

Image Making

 

fortune telling robot, originally uploaded by Paul Keller.

Flickr’s “blog this” feature makes it way too easy to do stuff like this. There are over nine million images available under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license. a quick search for “robots” yields over six thousand results. The fourth from the top is this.

Paul Keller’s original caption reads thusly:

“Fortune telling robot on the sidewalk opposite Russel market in Bangalore. Passers-by can have their fortune told by the robot in four different languages: Tamil, Hindi, Maharati & Kannada.”

Nine million free images to play with? Oooh, I’m gonna have too much fun with this. [rubs hands and cackles]

Oh, they do? Well, all right then. I’m sure they know best.
