Singing Along With The Flaming Lips

YouTube Preview Image

I’ve turned into a bit of a shutterbug these past few years that I’ve had an iPhone.  Having a camera on you at all times provides many opportunities for some cool photos.  Even though I’ve had my iPhone 4 for almost a year now I haven’t gotten used to the fact that I can shoot video.  This is something I’ve been trying to remedy, but honestly not very many interesting video worthy events happen around me.

Last month however we went to see one of my favorite bands The Flaming Lips at the Fillmore Detroit (formerly the State Theater).  I’ve been wondering if the iPhone could record decent enough audio at a concert.  I’ve seen plenty of cool camera phone videos on Youtube with completely blown out audio.   So when the Lips performed an acoustic version of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots I decided to give it a shot.  As you can probably tell I’m really pleased with the result.

This was my fourth time seeing The Flaming Lips in concert.  They put on an amazing live show and I always leave with a huge smile on my face.  The last two times seeing them we decided on balcony seats since we don’t find being packed in ass to crotch with a few hundred sweaty strangers fun anymore.  With their projection screen though, it makes you feel like your right up front.

Lately I’ve been entertaining myself with following lead singer Wayne Coyne on Twitter.  I wish I had just an ounce of the energy and creativity that he has.  Definitely check out his feed if your a fan.

schnuth.com reopened for business

If you can see me above at my very height of sophistication toasting you with an ice cold Balashi, then you have without a doubt arrived at the new and improved schnuth.com.  At first look things don’t look all that different, but trust me dear reader they are.  I finally put on my big boy nerd pants and ponied up for a real web host instead of the free service I’ve been using.

What does this mean for you?  Not too much, except now I have a ton of space to play with and no limitations on the types of files I can host.  As a matter of fact all the old episodes of the Schnuthcast are back online.  Why not hit up the archive, the now working podcast RSS feed, or even our iTunes page to grab all 9 of those old episodes.  I also have plans to repost all of the old Weekly Anime Review/WARP Anime Podcast episodes as well in the near future.  Many of you have been voicing your frustration of these podcasts no longer being online, and I plan on bringing them back real soon.  However at 73 episodes it’s going to take a little while to get them all back up and working, so please stay tuned!

Also if you have been accessing the site via a RSS reader, it’s very possible it’s no longer working correctly.  So why not resubscribe just to make sure.  ;)   I know I’ve been silent as of late and hope to change that soon with some new posts.  Thanks for your patience, and thank you for continuing to visit my silly little blog.
