45 Minutes of Pure Silence, due to a technical issue. (fwd to minute 41:00. oops)

We could have given up after missing last week, but we decided to do it anyway. Then after screwing up the first 45 minutes of the show, we still pushed on in an attempt to get things done.

: C’mon Baby Light My Fire

What We Talked About on the Show

*The Doors and Skrillex collab. (audio problem) The song is called BREAKN’ A SWEAT

*The Effect of Wasting the Last 45 Minutes. Moral of the Story: Fess Up Early and Often.

*Show of Life (Stay tuned. I will post here when it is ready.)

*Forcing Yourself to Get Things Done.

*DIY Framing Project to Make Our Own Poster Frames

We have posters rolled up in poster tubes. That is bad for the art.
We can frame them and get it done and stop worrying.
We can DIY our own frames, using the slow improvement tools.

*Getting Mixes Ready in Advance to Get a Spot on BBC1

Get Things Done

Amboys-get-things-done by AMBoys

Let’s face it. Sometimes it’s hard to do what you know you gotta do. This has been the major challenge in my life, and my only obstacle to success. In an effort to combat the entropic tendency toward non-action, Top-hat and I have started a new podcast called “Getting Things Done”. It is a coincidence that it is the same name as a book by a guy named David Allen. I highly recommend the book. If I did everything he said in the book, I would be a millionario. I hope by focusing on “Getting Things Done”, while embracing the Slowtimer ethos, we can eventually reach our destination (wherever that may be).

I wanted to do a bit of a promotion to let people know we’re serious about this project, so I thought the best way to be professional would be to have a catchy jingle-intro for the show. I gave the AMBoys a call to see if they were up to the challenge and they turned out this little gem called “Get Things Done”, which I have been told has inspired a forthcoming album. The artwork for the album was derived from a vector pack I dreamed up (that I will release when it’s done) called, “Everyday Textures”. It’s amazing what happens when the wheels of motivation begin to spin. Tune in live on Friday at 12 Noon for our second show… where we figure out what we’re doing.

Not all shoes are created equal. I remember when I was a kid I got these shoes that made me jump higher and run faster. When I got older I thought it was just my imagination, but then I saw these. I need two par.

Rusko to Play Free Show in NYC with Sleighbells

jimmy4real — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 18:12:11 +0000

Slow to know, but just found this out moments ago. The time is nigh. Rusko flew into nyc this morning because tonight he is doing a show in Brooklyn, NY at some warehouse. The deal is it is sponsored by MTV and they were trying to get some real deal rave vibe with it being a free show and what not and there was some guest list or something, but it has totally gotten out of hand due to an overwhelming demand so now they are telling people it’s canceled and they will only be able to let people in on a first come first serve basis. I’m trying to get Top-Hat on this mission, and would love to file a Slowtimer Report and broadcast it to the masses. Stay tuned…

Check it if you want the skinny on this free Rusko show in Brooklyn with Sleighbells.
