Plugs.
The only plug I have for you is Malach's new Orkut Account, so ask me to be your friend, hopefully we can get 1200 like we do on our MySpace Account.
Blogger issue, AGAIN!
Blogger has been down all day for this blog, this is the second time in two weeks and again it is FTP issues, I am not sure if this blog will get up tonight, or tomorrow, but I have about had it . . . Wordpress, here I come.
You Are Listening too . . .
Dig a Pony off of Let It Be. The song was actually the last song played in the famed 1969 rooftop concert and this recording is taken from that, with a few Phil Spector time edits. Lennon wrote and composed the song and actually thought of the song as a "peice of garbage" which I don't agree with. The song, while containing a string of surreal to nonsense phrases in directed at his soon to be wife Yoko Ono. It is also known as one of the "sloppier" Beatles song, much more rock opera in style than their typical fair (much of Let It Be was though). It is defintely a live sounding intense song. The song is also beautifully harmonized with backing vocals from McCartney.
Spector is credited for emphasizing the blueseyness of the track and for really bringing out the "All I want is you" phrase/chorus. Again the lyrics are very funny, kind of a mix of the straightforward and a mix of more esoteric and surreal lyrics.
The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
Well should of saved some runs for the Tigers for the previous nights games, pitching matchups also don't bode well for the Sox until the final game. Mood: Let's get 'em tomorrow.
Micheal Vick.
Ut Oh. Ron Mexico . . . Cash is getting closer to your jugular
Ahh, to be 11 again.
I recall being 11 . . .
Lucky.
Wow, Malach's gotta get this number, can you imagine "Hello this is Paris Hilton."
MMMMM
Chinese Dinosaur Bones.
Malach's Quote/Video of the Day
I am Malach and I dig a tapir.
Dig A Pony
I told you 'bout Strawberry Fields.
Plugs.
Once again no plugs, see what happens in a holiday weekend.
More done on the new Painting.
This is about the time where I switch from acrylics (which I use to block the painting as the dry faster) to oils (which have a better general look). You will notice as it coverts to oil there is a much richer color to the piece.
The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
Well, a sweep of the Rangers, the Angels swept the Yankees. That puts us 12.5 up on the Yanks, and 11.5 up on the division, which currently the Orioles of all teams is in second. Trot Nixon returns to Fenway tomorrow followed by yet another weekend series with the Yankees . . . at that point they might be 15 out. Mood: Welcome Back Trot.
Mike Vick.
So, would it not be an interesting line at the unemployment office this year with Vick, Chris Henry, and Pacman Jones? Woof - Woof.

I am Malach and could I go for a cigarette, thanks Barney.

Plugs.
Just a new 8 1/2 by Eleven. Number 535. Not really Lucas's best work, but 'tis a set up piece I supposed.
Heroes.
So, Heroes is kind of like a Quentin Tarrantino movie. First they bring back George Takei in a kick ass role, and now, Richard Roundtree. He's a bad motherf- SHUT YOUR MOUTH!. So is Heroes. Nice season ender, with a interesting cliff hanger for Hiro.
Bud Dwyer.
OK, a few of you more morbid types, wanted to know a bit more about the video I posted in yesterday's blog. More specifically about some of the people in the later half of the video: the suicide, and the guy shot in the head while walking by phone booths. The video was a snippet of the Micheal Moore anti-firearms documentary Bowling for Columbine.
The guy blowing his brains out is Bud Dwyer. He was a PA politician, whom after a scandal, basically blew his brains out on live TV after calling a press confernce in 1987. The Filter song Hey Man Nice Shot is based on the incident. You can actually view the entire video at Live Leak (you need to register and present age verification).
The one of the other guy getting shot in front of the phone I remember seeing on TV when I was young. I could not find a ton of info on it and don't remember the names, but the shooter was a father shooting a man who allegedly abused his son.
The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
Well the pitching matchup wasn't good, and I figured this would be a loss. Only 8th inning down by four, we will see. Pitching matchup ain't too good for the tomorrow either.
So uh Clinton Portis . . .
Thinks it's no big deal if Micheal Vick is involved in dog fight, in fact, let's quote the fantasy bust of last year: "If that's what he wants to do, do it. I think people should mind their business." Well Clinton Portis, you see, dog fighting, and using your property for dog fighting is a felony in Virginia. Dumb ass. So with that logic, I should be able to oh, say, murder you?
YAY!
We set a new record today! What, it wasn't a good record, why doesn't anyone ever tell me this?
Your Heroin Addiction.
Is keeping the Taliban alive. That could be a good t-shirt.
Malach's Quote of the Day
One had been dismissed — and subsequently executed — for a foiled assassination attempt on a higher ranking student, a second had been killed in the practice arena, and the third died in his bunk of natural causes — for a dagger in the heart quite naturally ends one's life. - Drizzt Do'Urden
I am Malach and happiness in a warm bath
Living is easy with eyes closed
No Plugs Today.
There will be quite a few tomorrow though.
Some more Beatles info.
After the release of Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles were basically exhausted physically and mentally. After a bit of a respite, they began recording for The Beatles (White Album) in May of 1968, 5 months after the release of Magical Mystery Tour. The Beatles was not released until almost exactly one year after Magical Mystery Tour, the longest amount of time ever between recordings. In that time a number of singles were released, but we will get into some of those after exploring Magical Mystery Tour.
During this period between albums several significant events occured. The Beatles went to India and explored Eastern thought, The Apple Boutique opened up as they expanded the Apple name and then promptly closed a year later in finacial ruin, Yellow Submarine the animated movie made it's premiere, Apple Records began releasing other bands music and began having hits, Cynthia Lennon sues John for divorce which he would grant three months later (he was already living with Yoko), Lennon and Ono are arrested for cannibus possession after a raid of their flat, and Hey Jude is released (a song by McCartney about Lennon's divorce).
I will get more into these events and The White Album looms, it's quite a ride.
Lock her up.
Oh Yeah, they will love Paris Hilton in Prison.
Stupid People are so adorable.
Shocking their ceiling didn't collapse.
No freaking way!
Someone wants to ban coolers at NASCAR events . . way to ostracize your longtime fans.
Hey Cash.
Ron Mexico runs a canine brothel. He raises your young for pooch on pooch violence.
Agreement?
Perhaps. What dissappoints me is there seems no commitment to exploring other forms of less polluting energy.
Another reason not to visit Mexico City.
It seems the crocodiles are also on the crime spree.
Spidey Villain Quiz.
Malach got 75%, which means he a geek.
