Art, Film, Literature, Rock 'n' Roll, and other forms of music: these are my concerns. On this blog, you're likely to find art, popular culture references, literature, films, music, trash-culture, some Pittsburgh-related stuff (that's where I live), and perhaps some politics and personal philosophy. Oh, and guitar porn. Much guitar porn. I'm male, I'm gay, and I'm socially liberal if there was any doubt at this point. Oh, yeah, total pop-music whore here. Good pop music, though. Gimme 3 chords and an earworm vocal melody. I have a special affection for the hard stuff: metal, punk, etc. I'm cranky and sarcasto, and I'm like that in person. It's not you, and it's not the fact that I'm hiding behind a computer: it's just me. I'm not anonymous. I dig Dave Karofsky, and he's the reason why I found tumblr (or, more accurately, tumblr found me). Choke on it, haters. If you can't handle that, go shoepolish your boyfriend's eyebrows. Having said that, I'm not fandom-active in any way, but I will continue to be defensive and sympathetic to the pirate ship. To all others, I am indifferent. I'm just a guy who, in a lapse of judgement, spewed a lot of words in a short amount of time. I feel no responsibility to any fandoms; to the few friends I've made in the process, however, I am eternally devoted and grateful. You are part of my soul, if I have one, that is. If it seems like I don't care that I'm pissing people off, that's probably true. PM me. I won't bite your head off, and I won't spew anonymous, ignorant hate at you. ON FOLLOWS: If somebody's following me, I generally will follow back. If somebody reblogs something from me that I think is important, or if someone promotes/likes my work, I'll follow them immediately. I'm pretty easy that way.
It's been a little over five years since I wrote a piece of fan-fiction about a couple of television characters. I checked an old email address today to discover that it's still being read and enjoyed. Well, damn.
Heck yeah! A Rickenbacker 4080 double-neck bass and 12-string guitar! Awesome! This was one of Geddy Lee’s main live instruments when I was a huge fan of Rush in the late-70s/early 80s. It always reminds me of Geddy!
Film-geeking on Bride of Frankenstein (1935, James Whale, director). I've seen this film more times than I can count, I mean, it's in my top-5 favorite films of all time. I NEVER noticed the obviously intentional, nearly identical placement of actors in the scenes which bookend the film until now. The top two images are from the film's prologue (showing the characters Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley, and Lord Byron), and the bottom two are from the film's closing scene (showing Henry Frankenstein, the female creation, and Dr. Pretorious (in the photo on the left) and Henry Frankenstein, the female creation, and the monster (in the photo on the right), with the actress Elsa Lanchester (as Mary Shelley in the prologue and the female creation in the closing scene) common to both scenes). As if the film wasn't perfect enough in my opinion, this reinforces the narrative completion on an aesthetic level. I can't believe I never noticed this before now.
