My boys are at it again!

They did a cool live show for the BBC you can find some cool songs to listen to. Man. Good stuff!

BBC - Radio 2 - Sold On Song - Pet Shop Boys Live

Here is a pic from the concert.
Wish I was there!

Of note the live BBC show has a few of my other favorite artists. Anne Dudley, Trevor Horn, Robbie Williams and Rufus Wainwright. Anne and Trevor where in the group The Art of Noise. Another HUGE section of the sound track to my life.

Make sure to check out this AWESOME cool video from their website. They have a new album out! w00t w00t. Make sure to run out and get "Fundamental" I love the boys.

Here is a link to a show they JUST did in germany.

It just dose not get any better then this.

Solar defense force!

So Mark, Mark and Gus came to hang with me in Richfield. We had fun. We watched a ton of battle star galactica and went to mineral mountain and the big rock candy mountain.

After all that we decided to get in some RPG and Mark (Richardson) dreamed up this cool game we dubed Solar Defence Force. Here are some sketches Mark R did of the battle armour and bad guys.

w00t!

Imogen Heap!

On May 6th 2006 Marilou let me take her to see Imogen Heap in Salt Lake City. All I can say is WOW. Posted by Picasa

Here are some scans of the Tickets and stickers we got at the show.
Here is Marilou's ticket

And my ticket

Here is the front of the sticker

Here is the back of the sticker


Here are some cool links to check out.

Her homepage and her "my space"
KRCWHosts a cool radio showthat last year featured Imogen and the Year before that Frou Frou These links will require a Real Audio player. I really like this one.

The show KCRW hosts of Imogen is just about how the show was. Just amazing.

Her friend Zoe Keating was the opening act. Again it was amazing. I really enjoyed what she does with a cello.

To be honest (because everyone is a critic right?) I would have rather paid a little more and had the concert in a place like Maurice Abravanel Hall I am not sure what it is with Utahns or if it is just the type of people that enjoy Imogen's music, but NO ONE WAS DANCEING! So, to of had the concert where people could have sta down and seen Zoe and Imogen do their thing would have been great. At anyrate when Imogen comes back in November you can bet we will be there.
Saturday the 6th of May was Scout-o-Rama! Here we see troop 605's "booth" Jessica is practicing the hoop toss. Posted by Picasa
