  • Weezer’s Rad Dog Art

    Weezer_raditude

    I don't know Weezer's music but my brother-in-law Greg Cameron just saw them in concert on Saturday and he thinks..

    "They are the current 'King of Geek Punk,' on tour with a newest, most powerful, best sounding P.A.
    system on the market, the L'Acoustics K1 provided by Rat
    Sound Systems    .   The mix was fantastic.  The bass was bone
    crushing, just the way I like it, powerful and tight.  And the band, dressed up as road workers with reflective tape and all, was somewhat reminiscent of DEVO.  Definitely one of the best shows I've been to in a long time."

    I think their new album cover is fantastic, especially because it's not digitally enhanced.  It's a reader-submitted photo from a recent National Geographic magazine of Sidney, who is also a big Weezer fan.  If you are too, and you can't wait for Raditude's October 27 release,  visit this behind the scenes blog by Dave Rat, PA provider and front of house engineer for Weezer, blink-182, and if you dig deep into the posts, The Red Hot Chili Peppers.  Thank for the tip, Greg.

  • Good-bye Dan, The Littlest Emperor

     

    Danny was my sister Sheila's dog. Last night she said good-bye to him. He was 12 and he was sick. It was devastating. Danny was a character. Barely 4 pounds, he was absolutely adorable. Children were crazy about him — like a teddy bear come to life. But he was deceivingly powerful. Really, somehow he managed to alpha-dog his entire family. It was stunning and hilarious. Here is the photo Sheila sent an online suitor named Greg. Obviously Greg fell in love with them both and married her and adopted him. They came to have a special bond. (Sheila and Greg did too.)

    Once, we made Danny an emperor's costume for a video project I was making. We thought he would be fussy wearing a fur-lined cape and a golden laurel crown. He loved it! Didn't want to take it off, and for years he wore it on his walks. He was very popular with the West Hollywood boys on Santa Monica Blvd. They admired his style.

    Danny, you weren't always the easiest dog, but you brought great joy to many people. And the family you helped create by being so cute in that single photo sent to a stranger is your legacy. Our hearts are heavy that you're gone. Rest in peace, Little Guy.
