1. Dysrhythmia Tunings Solved
If you're as obsessed as I am about guitar tunings, this is a gem. Kevin Hufnagel from Dysrhythmia (also in Gorguts and other bands) has a blog for his band regarding tours, merch, album news, etc. and it JUST SO HAPPENS he went ahead and broke down (mostly) all the tunings he used for the last few albums (should be the first post you see, if not there's a timeline to the left). Dudes a seasoned jazz player for over 20 years, so i'm not suprised how discordant all of it looks and sounds. What's not listed is all the other instruments he used to get that wall of noise he is so famous for doing. Still, what a find! Following this band for a good ten years and counting ever since I saw them with Nebula, Mastodon, & Clutch in 2003. I'm proud to say I got a song in standard down, and another in some drop tune on my own, but the rest I was stumped. And since he's a relatively quiet guy about his methods, the tunings of older albums (like my favorite Pretest) kind of slipped into the void never to return. So at least we have this. Thanks dude!
2. Dave Witte: Foodie
In surfing around the Dysrhythmia blog, I came across Dave Witte's food blog. Drummer for 1,001 bands to date, but currently in Municipal Waste, and maybe 1 or 2 others. Anyway, the dude knows 4 things: BMX, Drums, Horror, and Food. This blog is dedicated to the Foodie portion. It's a bit of a novelty to read through, as he's reviewing some fine establishments (mostly in San Fran) and mapping out a hell of a night out if ever you are in the area. Still, it's a few years since an update so I guess dude's plate is full (no pun intended) with stuff. Anyway, patiently awaiting an update when he does.
Will update with other tidbits of the blogosphere soon.
