Nordic Thunder Defeated
The news is a couple days old now, but I’m still pretty bitter about it. Basically, Nordic Thunder lost the Air Guitar nationals because of one dickhead judge, even though he was a crowd favorite. Hell, even the people that placed above him told him that he should have won. Here’s the bulletin he posted [...]
Pointless Wallpapers
“Bill, where can I find really stupid wallpapers of really random things?”
I get asked that a lot, and the answer is RIGHT HERE. I whipped up these instant classics for your wallpapering pleasure.
First is 1280×1024, second 1024×768.
WNB On Flaming!!
Well my celebration of Go Skateboarding Day got cut a little short, as Chuck and I bombed our favorite hill into the downtown area only to find that the Wyoming National Bank (a historic building currently being refurbished into apartments or something) was ENGULFED IN FLAMEY FIRAGE!!!
As soon as I saw it I was furious [...]
Go Skateboarding Day
The solstice has always been a depressing day for me because sure, it’s officially the first day of summer, but I also know we start losing daylight after today. FORTUNATELY this has been made up for by the International Association of Skateboard Companies, as they decided last year that June 21st was also the official [...]
Nordic Thunder Documentary Teaser
Since Nordic Thunder is currently attending film school, of COURSE one of his film geek friends is making a documentary about him. A 90 second teaser trailer recently hit Youtube.
Be warned: Its magnificence has been known to make grown men weep.
Your 30 Seconds of Timekiller For The Day
My drummer friend Ryan likes playing while I play bass, and I had a bunch of our fucking around ‘recorded’. I say ‘recorded’ because I don’t think anything was miced, it was just bleeding through the 8 million mics we have in the practice room, but you can basically tell what we’re doing. Anyway, it’s [...]
Did Everybody Forget Satan Lost 50 Points?
Guys, it’s been over a year since the “real” number of the beast, 616, was discovered.
“616 (Six hundred sixteen in American English, Six hundred and sixteen elsewhere) was the original Number of the Beast in Christian mythology, in the Book of Revelation, but was most likely mistranslated. Different early versions of the Book of Revelation [...]
Nordic Thunder Footage!
Well, footage from the Chicago Air Guitar Championships has managed to find its way onto the internet. Give it time to propagate. In the meantime, here are a couple YouTube clips:
I don’t think any of these are from his actual performance.
I also found a clip on some news station’s site, but their player sucks and [...]
Shower Beer
Alright, so my friends have been hyping shower beer for quite a while now, but I’m a professional skeptic. Well, that’s putting it nicely. Maybe I’m a professional cynic. My friends, of course, are professional hypemen.
What’s that? Don’t know what a shower beer is? Why, it’s drinking a beer whilst showering!
So anyway, I just got [...]
Death to the King
Hey, as long as we’re on local music, my friends’ band Death to the King now has a Myspace, so definitely check out their songs. They’re just now putting the finishing touches on a self produced CD that’s really sounding great.
Anyway, they wanted some photos for their profile, and I had a bunch leftover [...]
