Wilco proceeds with new 2009 album
Cover art just release for the album which is self-titled, along with a title track. The song is the only publicly performed on this record as heard on Colbert Report and played for some recent live shows. This could be a cover for a potential single? The tracklist came out too: Wilco (the song) Deeper...
My Cigar Box Slide Guitar
A few months ago I was working on making my own instrument from a cigar box. There are many guitars made out of odds and ends, and cigar boxes have been popular for do-it-yourself blues players since pre-war legends. Being an amateur craftsman with wood, I made the best out of my skills and the...
Mistakes Make Music (free album)
The following is a review by the author of the album- Mistakes Make Music. Bolie Folke (his real name is undisclosed) was kind enough to let me post his biographical account of the recording below: Today I made an album ready for the public to download using the one-man-band name of Bolie Folke.

Blogging Less Says More
I notice that traffic-hungry bloggers and web-savvy advertisers tend to follow SEO marketing schemes of creating filler content and fluffing up word count. They claim that it will keep visitors satisfied and search engines will flock to their precious keywords which will increase click-through rates. The latter may be true, but the former is problematic....
My Portfolio is Ready
I have held out long enough in designing a “showcase” section for my website. I decided to gather some goodies for everyone to check out. Portfolio sounds too businesslike, but regular old folks can see what things I created without being a prospective customer, employer, or venture capitalist. You’ll enjoy it if you like art,...
Pink!?
I recently added a new color to my web scheme via CSS coding. I needed another color for secondary headings that complimented the others and pink is what I liked. For those who don’t know: I’m a guy, a dude, a man. I’m not homosexual, I just like all colors. And maybe it will increase...
Visual Inspiration
Sorry I haven’t updated in a while. It’s partly because the hinge on my Gateway laptop broke for the second time and had it repaired, and I’ve been busy with college. Whether you are a traditional artist, a digital artist, or a non-artist who just needs some artistic ideas, you could have a peek at...

Dreamachine Visions
One of the head honchos of the Beat Generation, William S. Burroughs, was known for his use of the dream machine, a device that spun around and let light shine through special slits of what looks like a goofy chandelier. You are supposed to close your eyes and some of the ambient light will hit...
The Most Surreal Pictures
andrzejdragan is an amazing surreal photographer and photo manipulation artist. I have seen nothing like it. It resembles an ordinary photograph, but at the same time it’s extends reality. Truly unbelievable. I haven’t a clue how to pronounce the name of the guy, but it’s totally worth checking out even if you hate art. Amazing...
Mars-1 Paintings
I’ve never used acrylics or any kind of paint for artistic purposes except spray paint and fabric paint. Since I am so foreign to this medium, I appreciate how different it is from stuff that I normally do. The closest I came to a painter was sporting an afro like Bob Ross. Although Ross is...
