Yet Another Maze ↷


I’ve just slowed down, I haven’t stopped.  Here’s yet another maze that I’ve been doodling for the past couple of days.  You’ve seen all the other mazes, right?  It seems like that’s all I was posting for a while.  I should maybe start naming them.  Any suggestions?

If you’re adventurous enough to print & complete this maze (or any of the others), I’d really appreciate a scan or a photo posted here in the comments (or a link to it), or emailed to me at world.and.lunar.domination@gmail.com.

Another maze today.  For some reason, I used “IN” & “OUT” instead of “start” & “finish”.  Just like with all the others, I’m looking for solutions.  If you come up with one, post it here in the comments, or email it to world.and.lunar.domination@gmail.com.  You can print & finish then scan it, take a photo with your phone, or even use an image program like paint.NET or GIMP or Photoshop to complete it.

Good luck if you choose to complete it!

Here’s today’s maze.  I think I started it last night.  If you like this one, check out the others.  As always, if you come up with a solution… scan it or take a photo of it and post a link to it here in the comments or email it to world.and.lunar.domination@gmail.com(If you’re pinning, repinning, or reblogging, please pass that info along too, so I may see some solutions someday!)

Here’s another maze.  I can’t stop churning them out while we’re sitting on the couch watching TV.  Well, I guess I’m just listening to the TV at this point.  Have you tried any of the other ones?  I’m still waiting for people to post the solutions (or links to them) in the comments.  You can also scan or take a photo and email it to me at world.and.lunar.domination@gmail.com and I can do the posting part.

So, here’s another maze to try.  You’ve no doubt seen the other ones.  I’m still in my maze-drawing mood, apparently.  I haven’t seen/received any posted solutions yet.  Will this be the one that sparks someone to send in a solution?

At any rate, if you like to complete mazes, post the solutions in the comments of the blog. (Or maybe just a link to it so we don’t have any spoilers?)  If you’re not tech savvy, just scan it or take a picture of it and email it to world.and.lunar.domination@gmail.com.

If you liked this one, and want more check out my Maze category and my maze pinboard.

✏ Can you do it? (Another Maze)


People have been viewing these maze blog posts, pinning & re-pinning.  I know Eric Yano said he’s worn out a Sharpie doing one, and will attempt more.  So, I know there are people out there doing them.  What I need is your solutions, either posted in the comments if you’re tech-savvy, or emailed to world.and.lunar.domination@gmail.com if you’re not.  (Scan it, take a picture with your phone, however you can get it to me.)

✏ Try it!

A double number two! | Ernie and the Berts


So, we got 2nd place & Ernie won a special award: A double number two! | Ernie and the Berts.

New music from Snuff and Ann Beretta!


I’m expecting two killer albums from two incredible bands this year.  What do these bands have in common?  Well, almost nothing I guess.  (It’s 11 whole steps at BandToBand.com!) They’re both punk bands, but they really sound nothing alike.  They are, however, in my all-time top favorites.

My wife tells me all the time that every band that I talk about is my favorite.  But that’s how I am, I guess.  If I like a band, I really like a band.  I try to acquire all of their music.  I get into side projects & related bands.  I sometimes even look for live stuff & bootlegs.  Snuff & Ann Beretta are bands that have that hold over me.

I got into both of these bands right around the time I started playing in my first real band, AiXeLsyD.  I was really into buying punk compilations some time after 1995… and whenever ’98 or ’99 rolled around and AiXeLsyD was writing and playing shows, I was absorbing everything and these bands just lit me up.

Snuff

Snuff

I had purchased Fat Music Vol. II: Survival Of The Fattest for the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover of “Country Roads”, and was instantly drawn to Snuff’s “Walk” & “Nick Northern”.  I’ve blogged about them before.  I was hooked immediately.  They really blend pop, punk, metal, thrash, ska, soul, & anything else they feel like at the moment absolutely seamlessly.  It’s crazy.  One minute they’re blistering through riffs that could be on a Metallica album, and the next there’s horns or an organ or they’re covering the specials and there’s no “what happened?” feeling.  It’s just natural.

Snuff has been dropping updates via their Facebook Page, and it’s all great news so far…

Happy new year to all. UK tour in april and new songs on the way. oi oi

Excellent rehearsal, great start to the new year, new songs sound stonking, dead excited now. Looking to record at least 8 new songs by the end of the month.

Two more new riffs up at last nights rehearsals. One mod/thrash/pretty thingy and one dangerously retro 82 hardcore beast. oooooof!

I’m incredibly pumped for this, or anything that Duncan Redmonds puts out.

Ann Beretta

Ann Beretta

With Ann Beretta, I can pin it all down to one song.  I heard “Bottlecaps” on  Fueled by Ramen‘s Year of the Rat comp, and that was it.  These cats are incredible.  Hearing their songs is like being dropped right into the middle of a story, situation, or town that you know every inch of despite having never been there.  I’ve seen them more than once in the ‘Burgh, and have even road-tripped to Cleveland to see them.  I helped make buttons for them, and they crashed at my buddy (& fellow AiXelsyD bandmate) Andy’s place after a show one time at the Rex.  The music is not unlike Rancid… without so much ska & snarl, but with honest Willie Nelson-like storytelling.  These guys wear RVA on their sleeve, and certainly make their hometown proud.  Their cover of All‘s “Long Distance” is incredible.  (The original is of course flawless in its own right.) “Love’s Easy Tears” is one of the catchiest songs ever, and I love the chaotic ending.  “Russ’Song” always gets me going, too.  Inquisition, Sixer and Foundation are worth checking out too.

The major update on this front comes from the driving force behind Ann Beretta and Foundation, Rob Huddleston…. via Twitter:

And there’s some stuff on their Facebook page:

Drums for 8 songs tracked so far with @RobHuddlestonVA of Ann Beretta. 5 so or more over the next few days. Go like their new FB page www.facebook.com/AnnBeretta

Back in the studio today!

First round of mixing begins today!

3 months of bronchitis & finally back to the studio w Pedro Aida – Producer/Engineer/Songwriter to get back to some vocal tracks.

Fantastic.  This is going to be a great year for music.  Black Sabbath, another Slash solo album… maybe some Aerosmith, new DLR Van Halen.  Now we just need Nerf Herder, The Bloodhound Gang, The Teen Idols, The Eyeliners, Peelander-Z, Bars, & The Unseen to start making music again.

What do you think about Snuff & Ann Beretta?

What music are you looking forward to in 2012?

Thank you!


I got a bajillion birthday wishes on Facebook today (OK, only over 140, but it’s still a hell of a lot), one on Google+, and even a happy birthday wish over the radio airwaves thanks to the ever-awesome Whip!

I almost peed my pants last night when Bethany told me she saw that Duncan Redmonds (of Snuff, Guns ‘n’ Wankers, Dogpiss, Billy No Mates & 300 other of my favorite bands) had wished me a happy birthday.

'nuff said.

'nuff said.

I just wanted to say thanks to all my friends & family for the birthday wishes.  I’m glad to each & every one of you, through the many interesting facets of life!  I had over 130 people say happy birthday and the day’s not over.  I’m glad I’ve made so many cool friends over the years, through school, work, camp, family, other friends, playing in bands, and even through social networking.

Bethany got me this cool Batman hat!
