there's a lot going on at harsh media......jake is currently producing a band and we can't wait for you to hear it. i got the chance to hear some of the un-mixed stuff and it is killer. i can't imagine what it will sound like once it is done! he's currently mixing and i'll get you a sneak peak as soon as i can.
we've also done two photo shoots this week and should have those pics up soon. we did the shoot for kill hannah (on roadrunner records - nickelback's label) last night and were really pleased with the outcome. they are great guys to work with.........check them out at www.killhannah.com. they shot some video while we were shooting and it should be up on their website sometime next week if you want to see us in action.

little cake-y goodness.
i was on my way to the office this morning, driving down interstate 65 in nashville, when i saw it. HOSTESS. it was plastered on the back of that delivery truck, and in an instant my body reacted and it was my mecca.
i imagined all the little hostess cakes inside, in all their cake-y goodness with creme fillings to tantalize my senses. all their little plastic wrappings that make my tastebuds tingle when i hear the sound. unwrapping that little cake and taking that first bite and not quite reaching the center creme. then taking another and being rewarded for my efforts.
i longed for the spongey artificial texture of a twinkie on my tongue.
then an idea flashed through my mind. i could hold up that truck. i could do it like jesse james, pull a bandana over my face, get up beside him and force him over with pure intimidation. or i could sword fight on top of my car while steering with my foot. i imagined myself straddling the road, one foot on my car and one foot on his truck, like in indiana jones. in the middle of the fight i'd stab my sword into a cake in the back and savor my forthcoming bounty of goodness.
once i was crowned victor, i would launch myself into that soft mountain of cakes i imagined were piled in the back of that truck. it would feel like falling into a soft mound of leaves on a breezy fall day. a reward to jump into them after toiling to rake them up in that cumbersome yard. i'd lay back and bask in the enjoyment of those wrappers crinkling all around me.
but then it hit me. why in the world would i go to all that effort for a bounty of twinkies? if i'm going to go to the trouble of holding up a truck, it should at least be for something more long-lasting, more worth the exhausting effort.
like an ikea truck.
now, if you'll excuse me, i'm pretty sure there's a cupcake around here somewhere with my name on it.

on top of the spandex, all covered with cheese.
it's back. the lights, the obstacles, the spandex, the cheese..........the hulk. that's right ladies and gentlemen, american gladiators is making a comeback. i guess nbc thought that this decade needed its fair share. seriously, are the 2000's really THAT jealous of the 90's?
my husband is most partial to "wolf", a wild-haired gladiator that looks like he needs a good soap scrubbin'. personally, i don't have a favorite, but that tribal guy freaks the crap out of me.
with that said, the show could learn quite a bit from ninja warrior (shown on G4). a lot more action and a lot less talking. i don't need to know how it felt to just take a 20 foot plunge in the water, nor do i need to know how you are feeling about an upcoming challenge. we watch because we want to see action. we want to see somebody get slammed to the ground. we want to see the gladiators in all their cheesy glory. we don't want to see someone get hurt, but we don't mind if they come close. and if they do, we want to see it again.
do racing fans watch Nascar for 300 boring laps of smooth driving? don't kid yourself, they watch for the crashes.
spandex and cheese. mmm mmmm good.

what you've been missing.
after an extended vacation, i'm back and ready to blog again. i thought i'd start out by giving you what you've missed over the past few weeks.
i've always questioned those classifieds ads that read "looking for women to pose for artistic photos" for like $50. wow. why not just say "looking for women to get naked for free and lay on my basement floor at my mom's house (because i still live there) so i can take pictures for personal use." just say no, ladies.
these listings do NOT contain the above.
1. PCM Media Group, Inc is searching for a motived, self starter to court businesses and potential advertisers with spot advertising and sponsorship opportunities.
Advertiser will sell spot time within "Source One TV" a national Christian Music News Program. (website - www.SourceOneTV.com)

2. I need an assistant a few days a week $10 an hour let me know if your interested! You must have your own car.

tips from someone other than me.
for the past three mornings my cat has woken me up by getting on the bed and staring in my face at exactly 5:48am. is it possible he knows what time it is? is it possible his hunger overtakes him at exactly the same moment every morning? is it possible he just wants to taunt me until he drives me mad?
enough of the banter. although it does really puzzle me.
tip of the moment:
this past weekend was barcampnashville. for those of you who couldn't attend or who have no idea what i'm talking about, it was an all day affair for nashville's music, technology, marketing and design communities. i'd suggest bookmarking barcampnashville so you don't miss the next one. its a must for anyone wanting to take it to the next level and stay on the top of trends.
for those of you that attended, i'd love to hear your thoughts. and in the spirit of barcamp, exchange virtual business cards, if there is such a thing.
