- This weekend in La Crosse and Minneapolis
Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:47:32 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
We have two exciting shows coming up this weekend.... Hope to see you there!
Tonight in La Crosse:
Tomorrow in Minneapolis:
- Commodore 64 Fans Rejoice!
Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:59:20 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
Behold the greatness of C64 games in Flash format. Holy crap, they've got Sammy Lightfoot. I've been waiting for a second shot at that game for damn near 25 years. - Blindsided!

But everyone's okay.
- Order up
Sun, 28 Sep 2008 22:09:12 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
Just solved "Order Up" for the Wii. It's cute and fun and makes me hungry when I play it. It's too easy, even on hard, but still worth playing. It culminates with an Iron Chef type tournament. Some of the game play is kind of stilted, like folding the tortilla, but a lot of the actions are fun like grating cheese. I appreciate that the game goes on after you beat it because you get more for your money, but it kind of bothers me that there is no closure. Anyone else have thoughts on that recent trend of games? - Too awesome

www.survivetheoutbreak.com helps us prepare for Z-Day! - Easily the most kites
Sat, 27 Sep 2008 13:52:03 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
I've ever seen in one place. This pic doesn't do it justice. I'm passing the dodge county fair (you know, tornado alley) and the sky is filled with kites. In about 15 miles, I'll pass the biggest goose refuge in the universe, located in Horicon WI. Does anyone remember the story on the evening news in Milwaukee back in the 80s about the family in Horicon getting tripped on their own stairs by ghosts? I dunno. The only scary part about Horicon to me is all the goose poop. Everybody poops, but if I had to pick one creature whose sole purpose of being put on this earth appears to be generating waste, it would be the goose. I suppose I can't be too hard on them, though. After all, they don't have sphincters, ya know.
- October song-of-the-month

Without giving away TOO much (or anything at all really) here's a little sneak preview of next month's song! - "More Than My Degree" MP3 now available for free download!

Get your DRM-free high-quality version of September's single right now at www.sunspotmusic.com! - The Louder It Gets, The More You Drink
Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:54:32 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
I always thought it was in the best interest of a bar to have a great sound system where it's loud enough to sound good but not too loud so that it's unpleasant.
I was wrong. The louder the music is, the more beers you buy. Of course, this study was done in France, so you never know, but it's interesting at least. - Wendy's DrummerCam: Saturday 9/20/08 at McAuliffe's on the Square in Racine, WI

- #1 Reason We Should Play Detroit Again Soon
Fri, 19 Sep 2008 14:57:24 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
Their mayor came out of the nerd closet today and declared he was a geek and he quoted John Connor and Captain Kirk!
We haven't been to Detroit for awhile, but it sounds like it might be more welcoming that ever. Here's a link to his full speech. - New Hitchhiker's Book
Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:17:52 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
I dunno how I feel about this new Hitchhiker's book called And Another Thing... yet.
How some people feel about the new Dune books and others feel about the new James Bond books is basically how I feel about this.
And this is central to one of the Great Fanboy Conundrums... does The Great Neck's Prequel Trilogy reduce the greatness of Empire Strikes Back? Is the awesomeness of James Earl Jones and Max Von Sydow in Conan The Barbarian reduced by Conan The Destroyer's sheer mentally-challengedness (featuring sex legend, Wilt Chamberlain, and anti-sex legend Grace Jones!) What about the half-human Doctor from the Paul McGann movie? (That was something I was actually cool with because someone had to explain why he spent all that frakking time on Earth!)
The originals still exist and they can still be enjoyed, but something feels diminished by a new addition that sucks. And for guys like me, I can't just will it out of existence. It's there, taunting me with suckiness and financial desperation. And if it's from the same creator (I'm looking at Godfather 3 for this one) then it stings even more, because the feet of clay are even more obvious.
I'll still read the book and try to follow its advice about the whole thing. I'll reserve my judgment until it's out, but until then, I've got a bad feeling about this. - Someone asked me...
Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:34:06 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
...a little while back, what's the first thing I would do if I had an unlimited amount of money and I didn't have an answer. Now I do.
Lucid dreaming classes in Hawaii. Holy balls, does that sound awesome. - Doctor Who Pictures and the Book I Wish I Had!
Tue, 16 Sep 2008 15:43:45 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
This new book, Who Goes There (not the Campbell story that The Thing is based on) is all about traveling through Britain (mostly Wales, which is cool by me because that country is beautiful) to see Doctor Who filming locations. I did a bit of that, but I would've done more if this would've come out before I went. Now I'm jealous. I did get to read one of the author's books though, Dalek, I Loved You, which was his autobiography and love letter to (now) classic Doctor Who.
Here's me at the center of The Rift and right above Torchwood Three
Here's me with K9!
And here's me being exterminated by a Dalek at The Doctor Who Exhibition in Cardiff.
- The company
Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:52:50 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
While walking through Blockbuster the other day, I noticed a dearth of movies worth my time and came across The Company
It has Michael Keaton and Alfred Molina and that's all I needed to convince me, even though I had never even seen a trailer for it. The first 16 minutes are a collection of over-acting, stilted dialogue, and slow drama. Then suddenly things get much more interesting and the action gets better too. The supporting cast and plot are great and I kinda wish they hadn't miscast Molina and Keaton. It really makes you think, too, about our country's foreign policy and everything. I recommend it. But ask Tim, I'll recommend a lot of movies to ya. For what it's worth, go rent it (or watch it online). If you rent, get both discs for all 360 minutes of drama. - Not much has changed

I still like eatin, sleepin, and rockin. - More Than My Degree

- Wendy's DrummerCam: Saturday 9/13/2008 at The Frequency in Madison, WI
Sun, 14 Sep 2008 12:27:47 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
HUGE thanks to everyone who turned out for the show last night at The Frequency! It was a great reminder of one of the reasons we love Madison: YOU ROCK!
If anyone didn't get a "lunch bag" with the new songs, please let us know and we will make sure to get one to you.
XOXOXOXOXO,
Wendy.
- What a truly appreciative audience
Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:10:53 -0500 Author: noreply@blogger.com (Sunspot)
I had an absolutely fabulous time on stage last night. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Can't wait to see the drummer cam! What did you think of the renovations they did to that place? I like where the stage is now better than where it used to be. If anyone didn't get their cd or goody bag, let us know and we can mail you one. Thanks for a great time. - Help us beta-test! (4mb)

Our friends at Brainfruit, Inc. in La Crosse have a new application called the Desktop Media Channel and they've made one especially for us! It's the first draft of a calendar and reminder application with browsing, bookmarks, and other fun stuff on it. We know that Sunspot has some of the most tech-savvy friends in the world and wanted to see what people would use an app like this for when it relates to music or media in general. And also, how can we use an app like this to communicate with you better and put more content up that's more easily accessible? This isn't something where we're getting paid for it or we're trying to market to you. We're helping a Wisconsin company that are our friends to make their product the best it can be.
We'd love to hear your comments and then pass them onto Brainfruit. We'll also update it every month with different pics and songs from our upcoming singles.
Download the Sunspot Desktop Media Channel here.
Thanks and see you at the party tomorrow!
