Well let see, not exactly a plethora as promised, but we have something new from Fred VanDoo the next part of his Killing All That Holds You series. This one is called One-X. This is a 16 part sci fi pulp style story.
Also we got a bit of a new rant from Twisted Darkness, this one is called Just A Little Thing. Twisted in a very talented writer, albeit young.
I added some cool stuff to my Zazzle Store, Including some left leaning t-shirts like this one. Also there are a couple of rated R and PG13 t-shirt , but you will need to register with Zazzle, prove your age to see them.
The Patterson-Gimlin Big Foot Film.
Perhaps the most interesting film in crytozoologies history, and sparked some conversation at this blog. Wikipedia has a pretty even handed article on it. Now, Malach is not huge into the paranormal and such, but I do have some interest in it. I would not shock me either to find new strange creatures in unexplored parts of the world. I am not kind of balance between believer and skeptic.
But that Patterson-Gimli Film is different. I remember seeing it as a kid, it really freaked me out as it was so real (notice I did not say realistic). M.K. Davis used a PC to clean up the film and take a lot of shakiness out of it in early 2005 edit. He also did this one, which focuses on some interesting muscle movements and the head below.
Very Interesting. Now, Malach is an artist, I am an expert in visual form, proportion, human and animal anatomy, natural movement, and such. Why this really fascinates me? There is no real way I could see this being faked, even with CGI. Again, I stress real vs. realistic. This looks real. And this was shot in 1967 when faking something like this would be extremely hard (think of things like Disney Animatronics and Planet of the Apes both top of the line of this type of stuff back then). It is not like the Alien Autopsy, there is too much going on with this figure to fake it correctly. Just by the proportions alone this is not human, and this does not look like a monkey suit, nor does it act like one. Very interesting if I do say so myself. If it is a fake, kudos guys, but you should of cashed in on that when you could have.
You Are Listening Too .. .
Yer Blues, off The White Album. One of the heaviest song The Beatles did thus far in their career, and obvious influence on Led Zepplin, who would get together the year this album was released. Lennon intended the song to be a parody of British Blues musicians, but the song is sung with such force and spirit many listeners take it very literally with it extremely suicidal lyrics, and references to cosmology.
The song gets it thick deep feeling by being recorded in an Abbey Road studio not much bigger than a large closet. Ringo loved this song, as it's stripped down nature reminded him of the early stuff. This song also shows the proto hard rock direction the Beatles woulds be going in for their next couple of albums, aka the Get Back sessions. There is a quiet backing vocal in this song, that was Lennon basically singing guide vocals during instrument recording. This was mixed with his actual vocal. This backing vocal can be slightly heard in places where the main vocal in not being sung.
Malach loves this song, and for fun, play some Zep along with it.
Plug? Yes, the return of 8 1/2 by Eleven! Expect a plethora of plugs tomorrow.
The Mood of Red Sox Nation. No game tonight, and yet again, another weekend series with the Yankees at fenway.
Speaking of the Yankees. Not only does it seem A-Rod is screwing around in his wife, it seems yesterday that he yelled "Mine" or "Hah" while running base as the Toronto 3rd baseman and Short Stop were trying to field a fly ball, causing them to stop and the ball to drop. It is interesting to read and hear some of the reactions to the incident on the field, especially from his team mates. All the years I have played baseball and softball, I don't think I have ever seen something like this, but again, it is up to the player to also catch the ball.
What is going to be really interesting is when A-Rod opts out, and the Sox make move for him. This is about the most hated man in Boston . . .
YES! The Cold War was so much more fun than the War on Terror!
Nessie (and BigFoot). There is a new Nessie video shot this past Saturday, they say it is by far some of the best video of it ever. I've seen it, not really impressed. But looking at other Nessie video on YouTube, I found one of the best cryptozoology video ever, the Patterson BigFoot video, and this one cleaned up by computer. I remember first seeing this as a kid, it really freaked me out, as this is very realistic and natural. I love still to this day, no matter who they hire and how hard they try, they can never duplicate this video, it figure, and it's ambulation.
