So SXSW was fun, but majorly exhausting. I definitely did not bring the appropriate shoes. The $10 vinyl kicks I usually wear are great for dancing, but are the male equivalent of ballet flats, and have all the support of a piece of tissue paper. By the end of the trip, I could not even […]

Music Video Shot on Polaroid Spectra Film
By Brandon Adamson
A while back I shot a music video for my song “Apricots and Afterthoughts”(directed by Steven Christopher Wallace and starring Ashleigh Taylor-Silverman.) I posted it here previously without any explanation. This video was shot entirely on actual Polaroid Spectra film (not the new Fuji Instamax or the “Impossible Project” replica type.) Given that they no […]
Tempe is where the art is*
By Brandon Adamson
*or once was, or may well be in one of many possible futures. I’ve started blogging over at James B Hunt’s longtime site, http://www.tempeart.com (though he hasn’t moved the blog to that url yet so it’s currently at http://tempeart.wordpress.com until it’s up and running. I haven’t lived in Tempe for several years but still spend […]
Some Days You Just Can’t Get Rid of A Bomb
By Brandon Adamson
Haven’t left the house much lately. I managed to obtain a dvd set of the original Batman TV series(1966-68) which contains all 120 episodes. It’s so addicting. The first day I had it I watched 16 episodes. Around 1987, they re-aired the show on cable and I would watch it everyday after school between 5 […]
As someday it must happen that a victim must be found
By Brandon Adamson
I was in Antique Centre in Scottsdale yesterday and strangely enough, noticed an original framed poster for sale which was advertising none other than the Lamplighters production of “The Mikado” in San Francisco, 1969. The poster read: Lamplighters present “The Mikado” April 20th, continuing Fri and Sat nights Harding Theatre Divisadero at Hayes San Francisco […]

The Zodiac Killer (1971) Just got a copy of this on DVD and watched it. I rarely see people discuss this one. It must have been one of the first works based on these events. It’s low budget, and somewhat campy. It’s not a factual account by any stretch(and does not pretend to be,) but […]
New Sign of the Zodiac…No Sign of the Zodiac Killer
By Brandon Adamson
So, all the hullabaloo surrounding the new zodiac sign… “Ophiuchus”(which only applies to Sidereal astrology practiced in the far east and not Tropical so no your sign hasn’t changed if you’re a product of western civilization) well it got me thinking about the Zodiac killer, an unsolved mystery that I’ve always been somewhat interested in.
