This is really cool,

My girl and I have pretty consistently been into this stuff called “lightpainting”. It involves a camera, long exposures, and bright lights. We’ve done some great things with it, and it looks like some folks are starting to take notice. 2 random blogs have discovered us via google and featured us along other “lightwriters”. I’m proud because we didn’t solicit these people, they found us, so we must be doing something right. Check out the 2 articles. We are M::R::I.

10 Amazing Light Graffiti Artists.

As my 4th grade teacher used to say, “I’m bustin’” over here. I’m really proud, and now I am extra inspired to grab my girl, a camera, a few lights, and get out there. We have a long way to go compared to those other guys.

Have a great day.

David Byrne news day.

1) I finally got to play the building! It was awesome, and instead of just whacking the keys around, I took a noisier approach and tried to split ear drums. I did not succeed.

2) His album with Brian Eno just came out, and so far it’s great. It is unsurprisingly positive and upbeat. The sounds are clean, and thematically, it makes me excited for old age and a beautiful home with a beautiful woman in the country.

You can stream it right here in this handy dandy player Dave and Brian made.

Thats all I got for now. In a few, I’m going to get beers with some old high school friends. Last time we did this, we easily devolved into the argumentative 16 year olds we’ve always been. I can’t wait.

So in an attempt to “live blog” something for the first time ever, I sent text messages to my email during the first day of all points west. Nothing good came of it, this is far from “live”, but I am posting them here unabridged anyway, with editors notes.

Born Slippy has been in my life longer than Feed The Animals.

Underworld – Born Slippy Parts 1 and 2. 1, as I realized they started playing it and power walked over. 2, as I stood, drooling and sunburned.

Then the batteries on my camera died. Don’t worry (if you were worrying) I did get a chance to “film” radiohead the second night, but we are a looooonnnng way from posting that shit. Timeliness? Psssshhhhh.
