Dinosaur Boy

The boy is a dinosaur about three to four hours every day. I am working hard to tame him and make him more human.

Trestles with The Lions (of judah) - Bah Bah Black Speed You Duck Emperor.
A cross country tape trading process led old friends Trestles (Justin Bahniuk, Michael Gates and Steven Phillips) and The Lions (of judah) (t.mrsn, Andrew Trudeau, Chris Trudeau, Gregg and Kevin Jones) into this - the latest collaboration between the two super collectives -Bah Bah Black Speed You Duck Emperor- Tracks were traded and bounced back and forth rather quickly and with ease, each side tweaking the others progress. Dance floor mayhem is currently ensuing.

Robert Beams' Super Robot Destroys!

Robert Beam (The International Meet, ucer, ex-virus 23) is an artist and great friend who resides in Bridgeport.
I first met Beam at a Halloween party held by Stacy Valentine (Norwalks' Original Goth), I found out Beam had went to alot of the same shows I had gone to at The Anthrax and also, that he worked at a comic book store, We were brothers from that night. He worked at a comic book store all right but not at Galaxy Comics! The store where my allegiances lay - partly out of force of habit, But mostly because Galaxy Comics was little, dirty, dark, the guy who owned it was a BIG imposing gruff guy named Fred, who just couldn't be bothered unless you had a file, (I most certainly had a file), But the worst part was his wife. She was always there and usually screaming in the back of the shop from behind the banners and posters (Cerebus, Elfquest that type of shit), She scared me when she would come tromping out, I was a shy skinny lanky boy. Long story short - My new main man Beam worked at Flamingo Street or Dream Factory, and they are the quintessential new school shop with bright lights, everything clean, they are hosting role playing games, they are totally superhero-centric, (I maintained my file at Galaxy until it closed, then got one at Dream Factory, ugh Dream Factory -note sarcasm here- that's a really cool name.) I think it was even a goddamn chain store, if I remember correctly. But the topper was this kid who worked there who played that he was a vampire 24/7, presumably because he was really into 'The Crow'. That was some weird ass corny shit to do back then, kinda now, too.).But, after I met Beam I would go there every week to show him my sketchbook and look at his. In true Entourage style Beam would move next to Los Angeles with childhood friend Charlie Heath, star of the film Leprechaun 2, When he returned back east years later he lived with me for awhile up on Flax Hill Road and we would just draw together at night all the time, finishing each others drawings and collaborating on music, (additionally we would be skipping stones and singing Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows) it was a great time, But like all great times it eventually ended when we were asked to vacate the premises. Beam moved on to Black Rock and he seems to really love it and love to hate it,
As an artist he has worked with the likes of Matthew Shipp, The David S. Ware Quartet, Mike Ladd, Meat Beat Manifesto and so many more. You can see/hear alot of what he does both here and here. He has recently begun a fantastic animation which he is kindly (cause I am like a friend of his and stuff) letting us see the first glimpses of.

P.S. Someone told me there is a fairly popular network television show with the same name as this song, while the title does reflect football, I didn't know of the show at the time and have still never seen it, unless its that gambling one with Matthew McConaughey and Al Pacino? Cause I saw that shit.
