I Disproved Andy Warhol




Momentum has definately shifted in my favor for the moment. A friend of mine recently told me they adhered to Philippe Petit's idea that there is no such thing as talent, but that everything had to be earned through great effort. This is proving to be the case with Eric vs. Technology. Yesterday I couldn't land an image from the web where I needed it for assignment 15, today I discoved my blogsite name shows up on a Google seach for my web address. Freakshow!! Hyperventilate is going to scuff around the Google algorithms for 18 months if the NPR interview is correct. In addition to my appearance on the blue google search page I learned to scan old slides and upload to my blogspot so this ascent of J-Crack circa 1976 could prove I once had lots of hair. As for assignment 13 -- that is where this all started -- suffice it to say, I skimmed across soundsnap realizing I could find endless amusement in sounds with titles like "breathy animalistic wash 1" or "atmospheric swell - creepy and etherial 1." I avoided the human sounds since I was between making hold calls and checking the claims returned list in Gateway, but if I had a cat I'd play the bird sounds for them when they were napping.
Later when I looked at Jamendo I had this terrific discovery of a band called Tryad and their tune Struttin'. This was significant because I have been looking for music that I could put on my ipod when I am in a place like London at rush hour and just want to walk in a very crowded place with a soundtrack.
Perfect.
Now onto paging slips...

  1. That photo would prove that you once had lots of hair-if it were actually you. It isn't. It is clearly Shaun Cassidy.
