Yes, he did.

Obama went there, and it was perfect.

Please, please, please let this election go blue, let Obama and his family stay safe, and let this country get the fuck out of the bloody morass it's been in. Please.

Can you hear the drums, Fernando?

I'm just saying, this all started because of ethrosdemon.

So, still not a Panic girl, but this clip of Spencer drumming is interesting, just to watch his technique. (And holy shit, do drummers continue to impress me. I can't even get two limbs moving separately yet coordinated-ly (is so a word) on a regular basis, much less four.) He's got such a loose, jazzy style. Bryar's still jazzy, but much more focused. Which also has to do with the kind of music they're playing, but still.

(I just need to throw Toro's guitar solo of AWESOME in here now.)

And then we have Travis Barker (who was just in that plane crash) dueting with ?uestlove of The Roots - talk about disparate styles. Barker does kind of look like Animal on that kit (I know Animal was modeled after Moon, but come on. Barker already looks like a Muppet.)

I love this stuff - watching and contrasting technique. I don't get to do it so much for actors or directors, because theater/TV/movies are so collaborative, so it's fun to watch music performances. For me. Yes.

Hey - goes to show we're not ALL crazy hockey moms

Awesome, wonderful, joy-inducing "Alaskans for Obama" video - my mom was at the Fairbanks one. I teared up, no lie.

Thanks to theodosia for finding that.
