We filmed their music video earlier today…after a few hours of processing emotions, crying, phone calls, and updating sites… we decided to use our energies to create something… from the 33rd floor rooftop of a building… downtown, in a city sitting at 33 degrees on the map (Dallas)… on 03/09/09. Just saying. It wasn’t by design. There was this wind… it blew hard at the end.


Space
is producing their debut record… in tradition with what was the incubation of the Velvet Underground… SPACE, our modern day factory… has found a couple of strands of its own “home grown” sounds to grow… and share with the Universe.

Scrapiron is gone… but not forgotten

Keith sent me the message this morning that Scrapiron passed yesterday. This is a sorry deal too. Ford was a great man… and a good friend…. a real artist and amazing soul. He has no family other than his brother… and there is no money for funeral set aside… it’s really shitty this whole deal has me angry…sad… fearful… and pissed… and grateful… all of it.
We want to have a memorial of some sort… I just need to get sorted.
Stay tuned…
We are making arrangements for a memorial to be had in SPACE (TBA) in hopes to raise the resources needed for a proper burial.

Peace to you my friend.
