When I was a kid I definitely watched Fantasy Island. As a Star Trek fan, I loved Ricardo Montalban as Khan in the original 60’s episode “Space Seed” and then in Star Trek 2, The Wrath of Khan.
Well, Ricardo Montalban passed away today at 88.
Thanks for the memories.
I now feel it is time to apologize to you for pulling into your driveway in Beverly Hills back in 1988. Yes, that was me and my best friend you heard in your driveway yelling “Khaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!!!!”

If I told you how I found this story you wouldn’t believe me.
Larry Flint and the “Girls Golf Wild” owner are heading up a charge for a $5 billion bailout for the porn industry.
“Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex.”
I’d have to say I agree. You can take my damn car but don’t put ole sparky on ice…

Well I got a sad phone call, just a few days before Christmas. One of my reps for perhaps my biggest vendor was on the line. He was letting me know that the company he worked for shut its doors.
Quandry
I owe this company money for two jobs. I’m not sure what the implications are so I’ll tuck that dough away and if they come calling I’ll have it ready.
Fuel prices
I’d be happy about gas prices, if I wasn’t in fear that I’d have no work soon. I gassed up for $1.30 a gallon a couple of days ago.

Pro Sound Blog is powered by Wordpress, the best blog engine on this planet. I’ve just upgraded to WP 2.7. You may not see a difference in the front end, but I’m punching in a post to test the functionality and test out the back end features.
So far so good.

Welcome to the new server. I’ve had to move PSB and my many other sites to a new dedicated server. Some of my other sites got way too big and needed their own space, not shared with any other sites.
So the good news is that since I’m able to post this blog, the site is running correctly on the new server.
Malicious code found
The bad news is that I found an encrypted bit of code in the config file here. Some spambot had hacked in and put a bunch of junk in there. That code is now gone.
Now back to our regularly scheduled blogram.

One of my vendors emailed today. I’ve been working with them for eight years and I valued them as a supplier. They’re closing on November 24th.
This sucks. I have a few suppliers in this category but I don’t like hearing that my choices are dwindling.

Thanks to my pal Matt for these cool Obama pins:

Amalgamut and Title Of Record are two of the most rockin’ and kick ass albums ever. The new Filter album Anthems For The Damned, though sonically good, doesn’t come close to having the balls and edge the two previous albums did.
I guess when rock & roll musicians get older they lose their edge? Or as my friend Matt theorizes, perhaps Robert Patrick being “clean” had something to do with it.
I still like the album, but I was hoping for another ball crushing release.

Photo caption (courtesy of Hot Chicks With Douchebags): “Like the videotape in Ringu, The Sausage and Mellon Salad is cursed with the haunting spectrality of ghostly shrunken nads, mediated through a pixelated digital intermediary.”
Ok I don’t normally do a “site of the week.” I’m not sure how I stumbled upon this site, but there’s some good entertainment and commentary at Hot Chicks With Douchebags.
Be sure to check out the “Hall of Scrote” and “The 2007 Douchies” where you can find the cream of the crop.

I was working with this guitar player the other day. I’ve done a few gigs with him and his female bass player/vocalist. She’s super lesbian and looks like Linda Hamilton. Linda Hamilton’s girlfriend is a model and super hot.
This guitar player was rambling on about the hot lesbian girlfriend when he came up with this classic line:
“She’s a waste of good pussy.”
