I just upgraded the ol’ blog to WordPress 2.6. I used the WordPress Automatic upgrade plugin, which is a combination of witchcraft and standard parlor magic. Something of a steampunk 1920’s gentleman with the ability to pull mechanical rabbits out of an otherwise unsuspecting top hat. Truly remarkable stuff here folks.

Jack Conte
Digg turned me on to a gentlemen named Jack Conte (myspace link). Unlike artist I see doing covers of other bands with weak original work I enjoy both ventures of Mr. Conte. Here’s a ‘VideoSong’ a self described remix/mashup in which the artist visually shows all sounds, both vocal and instrumental. This particular VideoSong is of Radiohead’s Exit Music for a Film matched with a prelude by Chopin, Op. 28, no. 4.
Via his YouTube channel I also stumbled upon Operation, a original song with a great music video.
His work sounds clean, but not too deleberate. I hope you enjoy!

An Interesting Morning at the Koerner’s
The chicks are hatching at home. It’s surreal waking up to 27 little cheeps.

While I was at lunch today my student workers turned everything on my desk upside down. Including my display. Which, let me tell you, was a pain to get rotated back when everything your mouse does is upside down. And they were very thorough. You can’t see it in this photo, but not only was the top of my desk upended, but everything in my drawers and the contents of my wallet.
