it's friday night techno remix goodness coming to you from the newest hba-labs™ certified mad scientist, nebulae. he harkens from texas, (you know, of course, about the devious and wily mexican plan to re-annex tejas). nebulae's music DOES stop remix awaits you here. 
my niece michelle, just turned 7, on what she'll be doing when she's 80 (immediately after i describe her as using a cane to get around) - "i'll have a show on animal planet and travel to africa, go into the jungle, sneak up on the lions and whack them on the penis with my cane."
she is a serious ratings genius - imagine the demographics - who wouldn't watch a show where some old lady sneaks up on wild animals and whacks them on the penis with her cane?
i don't want to wait till she's 80 to see the show. i hope there are still lions then.
[/semi obscure reference alert] there's (hopefully) a little bit of dame marjorie chardin in everyone, but i think that michelle has several extra helpings.
while you're waiting for animal planet to pick up michelle's show, you can watch all of our recent videos, thoughtfully gathered together here for your viewing convenience.

new persimmon mixo is here. (mp3) (warning: contains a shiny shimmery new vocal track)
video here:
rate this video here. (you rate the video, we promise to stop telling everyone how great we are).
don't you just hate having to keep on telling people how great you are?
and, miss persimmon, know that wherever you are, whatever you've become, japanese surfboard guy and i both still miss you terribly.
this (wmv) is live performance video of 'lines blur' and 'you bet i will'.
quicktime will be here soon.

[edit]
i've moved all the recent video clips to this post
we never got to use these during the shoot, so we're saving them for next time.
as we idly sit by and watch him drive the bus off the cliff, one wonders what we'll need in a post-bushcolyptic society. duct tape and binder clips are obvious necessities, but hba purchasing has also been instructed to lay in a large store of sumatra, splenda and enough of those little diner packets of half and half to last us until the end of time.
while you watch the war machine gear up (us navy issues 'prepare to deploy' order), turn the volume down on cnn, and up on hba, specifically this (mp3), which is called 'flame to the fuses'.
personnel: nate russell and joe martin on guit (both time-traveling forward from a 'pre 9/11' jam). steve detroy provides nuance.
these grooves last surfaced on titan (mp3), which reminds us that although john kerry is a douchebag, we should have voted for him anyway. leanne handelsman on vocals.
however, in their nascent form, they comprised bib and sissy, (mp3) the original zaubi/russell/galibert joint. sharon zaubi on vocals.
asking yourself not "what the hba can do for you", but, "what you can do for the hba"? here's a list:
1) find us a kick ass halloween gig
2) give our music to your independent film producing/directing friend
3) keep our music on your thumbdrive, pass it on, collect a dollar or 2, paypal us when you hit $25 and we'll send you a sweet hba goodie bag.
we'll play any pro-choice/anti-war/lgbt/climate change or like event for free (audiences of 200+)
this (wmv) is 'circus clown' and '6 underground' from our live performance shoot friday night at the lmc-tv studios. quicktime is here.

freshly editted video is now consolidated here.
flame to the fuses
20/20 vision
you see the finest details of things
but tell me....what are your triggers
swagger
bit off-step as of late
i am the most bitter taste
a cherry fresh for the picking
word is - right now
walk out - walk on
cheshire cat with teeth like a fence
i still have some common sense
to realize when i am beaten
beat me to the punch once again
i love it when you are cruel
make do with what you've been given
word is - right now
walk out - walk on
it's a big world, gotta rule my corner
i'm a big girl with a sense of sorrow
it's a wrong way but i can't stop moving
moth to the flame to the flame to the fuses
we've got a bunch of live performance video from last night - will compress and post as soon as i get back home.
this is a brand new track called 'failure'. a clue as to the subject: QRSTUVXYZ*.
