Turntable love!

Theodore, applying some finesse
Originally uploaded by Shawn Econo.

Yep, some new Flickr photos: these are from a recent DJ show that my friend John and I attended in...Park City? Yes, turntablism reigned supreme for one night only in the midst of this snowy upscale tourist hell, the unholy home of the Sundance Film Festival and the freakish backdrop for never-ending daily acts of pure, unbridled consumerist lust. Needless to say, it was a real trip.

Included are pics of DJs Rob Swift, QBert, and the inventor of the scratch, Grand Wizard Theodore. For further edification and edu-ma-cation, check out this sweeeeeet YouTube vid of Qbert in action at his home studio. OMFG, baby!

You can check out more Qbert video action here. Prepare to have your mind completely and totally blown.

Oh yeah. New photos at my Flickr page.

These are some black and white punk pics from fIREHOSE and Fugazi shows in the spring of 1993, including this rad shot of Mike Watt, bassist extraordinaire. For more info about the man and his bands, you can stop by Wikipedia or check out his website, the mighty Hootpage.

New photos!

Hey, folks, I just posted some new shots at my Flickr page. Drop by and check 'em out while they're still hot! And leave a comment while you're there, ok? Thanks.

Absence...

This is just a quick note to let everyone know that some new posts are coming to this blog very soon. Seriously. I mean it. I know it's been kinda empty lately, but I've actually been busy! I skipped work last Thursday and Friday and hung out on the campus of Utah State University in Logan, attending multiple events at a symposium on the Beat Generation. I have a ton of notes to go through so I can write up a post about the experience, and I also have a bunch of photos to edit and post on Flickr.

Then, after work on Saturday, Lisa and Tenzin and I drove out in the country around Richmond to take some pictures: Lisa had her fancy-awesome Canon camcorder, and I had my trusty Kodak C330. We took multiple shots of the same subjects, in part to learn about the capabilities of each camera, and to also compare our picture-taking styles. She recently opened a Pro Flickr account, and has been uploading scads of photos. You can check it out here. She tends to post solid, straightforward documentation of friends, family, and place while I seem to keep posting the indulgent artsy-fartsy shots.

So, please come back over the next couple of days. There will be some new content (spellbinding as always, of course) and I hope you help to make it better by leaving a comment. You can also post comments on individual photos on Flickr, so drop us a line.

Thanks for stopping by,
Shawn
