Would it be even more awesome if it was based on The Big Lebowski?

I've Been To The Mountaintop

For some reason I have recently developed a huge amount of interest in history, especially American history. I think some credit for that has to go to having too much time on my hands and getting lost in the never-ending web of Cracked. If you haven’t ever been there before, its probably summed up best by a random list of the article titles:

8 Movie Special Effects You Won’t Believe Aren’t CGI
The 7 Most Condescending Sports Euphemisms
10 Mind-Blowing Easter Eggs Hidden In Famous Albums

My First Ever Sketch

Well, that title is definitely a lie.  I know that I've done lots of sketches before, but this is the first one I've done that hasn't been for a school assignment.  Actually, that is stretching the truth a little bit too.  I remember my parents giving me some pencils and a sketch book when I was younger, but I was just really bad at it.  My mum seemed to have some sort of artistic skill and I can still see the picture that she helped me draw as vividly as the day I (read: she) drew.

Under The Table Tennis

A few years ago, I was at the Laneway Festival in Sydney and a friend demanded that we go to one of the stages and catch a guy named Tim Fite. Before I try to describe the show, check out his most well-known song "Big Mistake", the film clip for which he illustrated himself:



But I hadn't seen this or anything else before I walked into the packed room to see him play. What resulted was one of the most bizarre yet perfect shows I have ever seen (which still stands now). During the first song, his off-sider "Sexy Leroy" walked around the whole crowd with a rope and pulling it tighter and tighter so that everyone was squashed to the front of the stage. It definitely beat the age-old and awkward cliche of the frontman saying "There's lots of room down here in the front to dance. Why don't you all move forward?"
