Everything in time. For now, practice counting. There's still only eight of us http://www.blogger.com/profile-find.g?t=o&q=Counting left including one known clone. Back in the day you couldn't get this funkin lesson until Rhino released the lot on CD in 1997.

Git Beats Feat. LadyBug Mecca "America"

Joe Sedelmaier/Laura Kightlinger April 30 2009

Last night I saw some short films and a tribute to Joe Sedelmaier at one of DFW's film festivals (third coast, baby!) Laura Kightlinger had a new short that was excellent. The best part was seeing her wearing a mask so she didn't have to risk breathing the same air as us DFW movie goers. I have to say she looked way better in her mask than MF DOOM. Here's a spot to show some love for Sedelmaier. Don't think you could air this ad in today's American ad market. Just say no to swine flu and always wear a rubber.
