R.I.P. Louie Bellson

I just found out that Louie Bellson kicked the bucket back in February. He was 84 years old, so it wasn’t exactly a surprise. I was a fan of his drumming, and wrote an article about him juxtaposing him to another favorite drummer of mine (Pete Sandoval of Morbid Angel) back before I rebooted my blog.

So, I hope Louie is drumming in heaven. Preferably doing drum-battles with Buddy Rich and handing Buddys ass to him.

Enjoy this incredibly tight and fluid solo by Louie from when he was on Johnny Carsons show some twenty years ago.

Pirate Marching Tune

More brainfarts from me today, but if the swedish Pirate Party needs some kind of music to triumphantly march around to after we completely kick ass in the upcoming election, I strongly suggest we should use VNV Nations instrumental “Weltfunk“.

I Wish…

… there was some kind of technology that would allow me to literally slap applications. I’m very tired and frustrated right now, and software that takes time to respond annoys the living bejeezus out of me. So I wish I could just SLAP the lazy-ass piece of crap. Give that application a traditional whooping and maybe it’ll wake up out of it’s coma.

Update: Oh, and for the record – Thunderbird might be a kick-ass email application but IT SUCKS ASS at being a news-reader. My regular old Liferea is segfaulting for unknown reasons and no-one seems to have any clue why, even though I’m not alone in this.
