President Obama in Los Angeles

The other day I had the great pleasure of being on the tarmac when President Obama landed in Los Angeles. I thought it would be like being back stage with a really big rock star. Oh my! Did I underestimate the experience!
I had to be vetted the day before in order to get security clearance and security the day of was TIGHT! And rightly so! It was like watching a well organized ballet performed by security guards and secret service.These guys and gals are serious! You can't even imagine the amount of planning that must go in to planning a day with the President.

The President himself, Wow, there really are no words. Come on, it's no secret that I have worked closely with Hollywood royalty, both literally and figuratively, so I am not really easily blown away simply by "star power". But I have to say that President Obama is the real deal. There was something really measurable that seemed to radiate from him. It was exciting. It was inspirational. It was heady.

Thrones is Joe Preston's (Melvins, High On Fire, Earth, Sunn, Harvey Milk, The Whip, [insert basically any American sludge/doom band]) solo sludge project. It's some pretty fucked up doom with a drum machine and some weird electronic shit thrown in here and there. Some songs are absurd and essentially unlistenable, some sound like Melvins and are awesome (MANMNT from White Rabbit for example). You probably shouldn't have time for this stuff, but here it is anyway.
