Last April I had the chance to interview Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett of the Gorillaz for WBRU. Arguably one of the coolest things I got to do while working at the station - right up there with meeting Billy Corgan and nearly falling asleep during his private soundcheck.
We talk about Coachella, touring, the potential for a Gorillaz movie, the intellectual and cultural significance of Gorillaz, and, for some reason, the classic 1960's Hanna-Barbera cartoon Wacky Races.
Just posted the interview on Soundcloud. I'll make a formal page for this and other content eventually, but for now you can listen to it here.

Passion Pit Photos
I'm still behind. On the plus side, I'll have some free time over the Thanksgiving break, and winter break is rapidly approaching. For now, here are some photos I took of Passion Pit at the Black Rep as part of WBRU's 40th Birthday Bash!

Station Fire Lightplay

New Station Fire Photos
I took a few more photos of the Station Fire this weekend and tonight. The fire has spread from our area in La Canada over into La Crescenta, Tujunga and Sunland, and is threatening Mt. Wilson to the east and Acton to the north.
In other news, I've determined that I have dust on the photo-sensor of my dSLR (which explains the spots on some of my photos). I'll be taking the camera to be cleaned (or cleaning it myself) sometime soon.
Click the photos for larger copies, or view the entire set on my Flickr.
The view from the Verdugo Hills Hospital on Sunday.
At night in Tujunga, as the fire crests the hill towards homes.
Not sure if that's a fireman of a fire-chaser driving up there.
The fire in this area spreads over a mile - the light on the left is part of the same fire.

Station Fire / La Canada Flintridge Fire / There's a Fire a Mile from My House
I managed to get some pretty nice photos of the fire in the hills above my house tonight. After getting some shots from afar, I managed to get within 100 yards of the fire to capture a few photos of the flames climbing a power line. Of course, being that close to a flaming power line is not a good idea, so I only stuck around for a couple of minutes. No Photoshopping on these photos - just added a watermark, that's all. I'll add more (as well as backlogged photos) sometime soon, but these seem very pertinent. Click the photos for larger, more detailed copies. You can also view the full set on Flickr.

Still 100 yards. Look at the fire leap up those power lines.
Still 100 yards. You can see a cloud of sparks exploding off of the power lines.

Jonas Brothers finally make the transition to Death Medal
Jonas Brothers - Paranoid (Death Metal Version)
From the dark corner of Andy Rehfeldt's imagination comes this death metal version of "Paranoid" by the Jonas Brothers. Engineered by Hao Lam. If you want to know how we created it or have questions ...

Permission Marketing and Building Relationships with Audiences
Seth's Blog: Permission Marketing

- This is how we should think about marketing in the future. Though one-way advertising (billboards, TV ads, etc.) may work in some cases, the best marketing relationships are just that: relationships. Marketers should focus on building interaction and trust with their audiences, not force-feeding them ads.
