Roger Dean

Patrick and I saw Joel Hodgson (creator of MST3K) speak tonight, and he was talking about the influence that artist Roger Dean had had on him.  I wasn't really familiar with Dean's work so I looked up some of it.  Obviously an amazing artist and hugely influential.  There's a lot of DNA from his work in a lot of the stuff being produced now that I like. 

Especially liked this image, Paladin (1976):

Check out the rest of DepprUnderstanding's vids as well.  I think it's David Cronenberg's secret channel.

Visited Youtubes today, saw this cool TV ad, think I'll start watching the show.

BTW/FYI:  the Ferris Wheel was originally designed to undergo 'revolutions' of its own!

There's a new Com Truise record called In Decay.  I thought this song was particularly awesome.

Both are flawed but overall, they're pretty great.

Bad Tattoo

I've had the fake Pearl Jam song stuck in my head for about a week.
