M is for Myg

All Hulk friends come tonight to hear Hulk spin favorite punk and rockabilly at Clockwork!

Hulk play new songs plus old punk chestnuts!

Hulk say hard to find leather jacket in Hulk size, but Hulk good shopper!

Hulk say 6-9 SLT!

Hulk say “don’t worry!” Hulk still play funk and hip-hop on Fridays!

Hulk say see Burgess post for details.

(The podcast is at the end, so scroll down if you’re in a hurry for some aural relief.)

Okay, so I told you ’bout the walrus and me man? You know we moved our Monday set to Friday nights (6-8 pm SL)? Well, here’s another clue you can mull, the walrus was Hulk. And Esteban/Hulk will be dj’ing Mondays at Clockwork playing a wider range of favorites and plenty o’ rock. Don’t worry, the funk will still happen on Friday nights, it just means there won’t be a hole in the schedule on Monday. Not only that, Clockwork has added KONA radio dj GoSpeed Racer to our Monday lineup from 4-6 pm to warm up the crowd before Esteban (and to provide a happy hour for those of you who have the live music open mic Mondays bug, yeah, you know who you are).

So now there is music at Clockwork six days a week (I’m still holding Saturday night open for special events), and lots of slots open before 6-8 for any djs in a European time zone, or later for those of you out west or on the Pacific Rim. (Hint, hint.) If you’re a dj looking for a gig and think you might fit in at Clockwork, point me toward a podcast or drop a notecard on my profile with a playlist from a recent set. Please don’t ask me to come hear you live; as much as I’d like to, my RL schedule prohibits me from many extracurricular activities.

Alex started his semester today. It’s his final semester of classes. WooT!

I’ve been sick so I’ve got nothing for posts. Sorry gang. I must have got it from Gorgeous Guen!

I have been playing around with this Flock web browser. It lets me do some cool blogging tricks like blog from the browser (as opposed to the Wordpress dashboard) and drop/drag images or text in from anywhere. Flock calls itself a social web browser. What the hell does that mean? Whatever, I am not terribly web 2.0 social these days but I do like the flickr feature that displays new media from my contacts in a media bar over the browser window. It’s a little cluttered but fun.

Anyways, we had fun at ye olde Clockwork last night. dj kEtcHup spun a mix of old and new rock gems, and then EsteHulk turned the funk up to 11 in honor of MLK day.

It was all fun and games until somebody broke out the suitcase nuke. Then it was fun, games, slagging on the Monte Cristo and gagging on virtual toxic flames.

Does Monday get any better than this?

Stay tuned for another Mandelbrot Set podcast, stat.

Blogged with Flock

[Hulk say: read blog, but also funky podcast at end!]

Hulk angry. Hulk wound still not heal! Hulk do all things right! Hulk clean wound. Hulk change gauze! Hulk eat plenty protein! Why not heal? Wound get smaller, but too slow! Hulk not like sit at home and watch TV! Hulk not like feel tired all time! Hulk want smash! But what smash? Hulk not smash wound, only make wound worse! Why not regenerate?!

Hulk smart. Hulk figure out.

Hulk think fault of puny Esteban Moody! Is wound of puny Moody, not wound of Hulk! But how give wound back to puny Moody? Puny Moody gone. Is Hulk now! Hulk not Moody! Why not puny Moody take wound wherever puny Moody go?

Hulk angry, but figure out.

Hulk wonder: night when radiation bomb go off, all friends there. Why only puny Esteban Moody become Hulk? No other Hulk friend become Hulk?! Why not puny Burgess or puny friend Ramona? Hulk glad Hulk only Hulk, but still wonder!

Hulk think. How different puny Moody?

1. Is Hermaphrodite.
2. Has mohawk. No–Burgess also!
3. Is funkiest.
4. Wear glasses. No–Chestnut also!
5. Is best dresser. No. Maybe dandellion best dresser? No–all Hulk friends best dressers!
6. Has wound!

Why only wounded funky hermaphrodite become Hulk?!?!?! Hulk wish Hulk smart like puny Moody. Puny Moody always have answer for everything. Hulk miss puny Moody.

Don’t give me your top ten for 2007; I already know what they are. Last week, when you were waiting in line for coffee and adjusting your scarf, I saw inside your soul. I didn’t mean to — but we’re so close, you and I. All of the sudden — I was calling the super to complain about the heat — there you were.

I wonder — did you see inside my soul too? Will my top ten get me into heaven? Do they have turntables there? What if I don’t have a top ten? Well, you’d certainly be on it — and this nasty wound I’ve been dealing with; that’s a big one, personally. The Chinese economy deserves a spot, and what about poor Lindsey Lohan? Can you see them, my top ten? What else can you see inside me?
