Pete Int’l Airport On Apple Video

Last summer I got a call from an old friend (Michael Hebb) asking if I’d like to take part in this project that he’d put together called “Songs For Eating And Drinking” The idea was: get a bunch of musicians, feed them a great meal, ask them to preform a couple of songs and film the whole thing. The timing was perfect. Jsun Adams (The Upsidedown, and the singer on all Pete International Airport songs) and I ran through a couple of songs and decided we were ready for our debut.

When we arrived we found out that Apple was filming a special on Chase Jarvis (the photography/film half of the project) Anyway, we ended up in the thing. Here it is:

CTT Movie Reviews: Burn After Reading, Iron Giant, Benjamin Button

Burn After Reading

(2008)

Um, good enough.

Iron Giant

(1999)

Within the first ten minutes I was saying “am I crazy or is this my new favorite movie”, I and kept on saying it through to the end.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

(2008)

The writers were showing off, the cast and crew were showing off, the dp the editor the director the agents everyone to the point where I guess if you wanna make a movie this profound its gonna take a lot of fuggin show offs.

What You Missed, First Week Of February 2010

So I didn’t think about missing three days of actual work when my MacBook was out sick this week. No, I only really thought about what if the Apple people were to find my cache of Johnny Weir fan fiction. But now it’s Friday, my MacBook is home, and it’s time to catch up on things you have missed.

ITEM: Beat The World has a winner in the Guild Guitar contest, and that winner is Pat, from Huntsville, Alabama. Pat wins the Guild GAD-JF3012, like the one Pete played in the “Dreamt of Yes” video. Ten other winners received digital downloads. Which are great, because the computer plays them for you. Thanks to Guild Guitar, Ryan at Beat The World, and our guitar tech Elliott for all the back and forth.

ITEM: Last night I had a dream that Logan Lynn and I were BEST FRIENDS! It was pretty fun. Coincidentally, did I tell you that Logan has covered the Dandys’ 2003 hit “The Last High”? Say what? Yeah, it’s pretty great. You can buy the single at at loganlynnmusic.com.

ITEM: Courtney has a new review of Educating Rita, as well as a couple more flicks, on his movie review page.

ITEM: From the burying the lede department: Yes. We are recording a new record right now.

Good-bye!

Quarrelsome Prostitutes

I found the text here not quite shocking but definitely surprising. This was taken a couple years after WWII in Marseilles.

CAPTION: ”IN A PADDY WAGON quarrelsome prostitutes loudly protest against being bundled off to jail. Legal prostitution was abolished in France last year, thus creating an additional enforcement problem for the Marseilles police.”

DJ RESCUE @ Rotture (PDX) FEBRUARY 18

It’s been really neat for “Zia & Kirk” to be asked so often to do our country covers set. I didn’t expect it but I LOVE it. We’ve even added several songs to our repertoire because of it. Anyway, this night will be a fun one to catch us and a few other fun bands. Still working on some details like drink specials and stuff, I’ll keep you posted.
