I look at thousands of images every week. I see so much repetition of ideas and poses and locations that it depresses me. Then I see that same repetition in my own work, and it inspires me… inspires me to erase everything and start again in the opposite direction.

He’s a brilliant taco, that Jim.

This is a song that I loved when I was a kid. I’m not going to lie… last week I saw a beautiful woman, and all I could hear was, “bow bow bow, bow.” (That’s my literal translation of the guitar line in the song). Bonita Applebum has been stuck in my head ever since.

Too much information? Perhaps. But too much information should make up for the lack of information I’ve been posting, lately. ;)

Enjoy.

Open up iTunes and sort your entire library by “play count.” Look at the top five (at least) songs. I am willing to bet that those songs tell a lot about your life, your moods, and your experiences. Now, this doesn’t really take time into effect, because you may have gone through some high or low stretches some time ago that may have included a lot more music-playing time – or you may be going through a big experience now, but your playlist hasn’t had time to catch up to what you’re currently experiencing. Either way, it will be fun to look at.

Post your results in the comments section and let us know if it works.

Mine (right now):

  1. I’m No Superman (Lazlo Bane)
  2. Lost One (Jay-Z)
  3. Nothing Lasts Forever (Maroon 5)
  4. Flake (Jack Johnson)
  5. Mexico or Crazy (Jason Boland and the Stragglers)

And yes, mine’s pretty close.

I know that Black Mags is old my now, but it’s new to me. Actually, Simon McConico told me about it in January, but I just remembered to listen to it.

That is all.

]]> http://www.fuzzmartin.com/2009/09/15/traitor-trail/feed/ 0 My Review of The Abortionist http://www.fuzzmartin.com/2009/09/13/my-review-of-the-abortionist/ http://www.fuzzmartin.com/2009/09/13/my-review-of-the-abortionist/#comments Mon, 14 Sep 2009 03:13:48 +0000 Fuzz http://www.fuzzmartin.com/?p=4057 I was finally able to read The Abortionist, by Michael James Caughill.

The Abortionist is the story of an ex-Milwaukee police officer, Elliot, who was left paralyzed after he was shot in the line of duty. Now, instead of fighting crime, Elliot spends his days writing a well-known crime blog. When the recent murders of a serial killer hit close to home, he is pushed into helping the police solve the crimes.

The first thing that you will notice about this book is that it is distinctively Milwaukee. From the names of businesses to the street names, you can actually see exactly where the murders are occurring. If you are lucky enough to have met Michael Caughill in real life (he is a Milwaukee blogger and runs the site FromWhereISit.org – the same as the blog mentioned in the book), you will even picture Michael as Elliot. For the record, though, Michael does not use a wheelchair in real life*.

The storyline in Caughill’s novel is terrific. Though the chapters flip-flop between Elliot’s encounters and those of the twisted Abortionist, it is very easy to follow along. The love story seems real, almost if it was written from experience. The murders are gruesome, but they have to be in order to keep the story in tact. The language is conversational and allows you to actually believe that you are listening to Milwaukeeans speak their native tongue.

Pick up Caughill’s book, The Abortionist, today. You won’t be disappointed.

*though I was almost disappointed when I read that Elliot has hair. I’m sure it was wishful thinking by Michael. ;)
