I accidentally deleted the (uneventful) news blog from September, so here is what you should know for October...
|Kick Gypsy music video| Music video for Kick Gypsy's "Give the Go Sign" finally made it up on Youtube.com for your viewing abilities.
|Flickr photos| I uploaded a batch of photos to Flickr.com and will be using that for all of my image uploading needs.
You may also enjoy this. Someone sent me these pictures:

Now be patient, keep your toes (and wheels) on the ground, and wait for next month!

A quick update here, with some good stuff:
I finished a video for Aphex Twin's "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball", which has never before been finished or released.
Watch on Youtube
A second "Midnight Montage" VJ mix/music video collage was made to follow the first, along with other additions to the Whisper Friend Myspace.

Ahoy again, Happy 4th! After 2 months out, I return to my world Between the Walls bringing you several things of note. First off, in case you haven't already, be sure to sign up for the [e]mailing list at the bottom of the page. It will fill you in on some great goodies in much more detail than these inutile homepage banters. The most prioritised project I've been afoot working on is the first installment of a weekly 20-minute VJ mix as a segment for one of the local club Goth Nights -Rewired- called "Midnight Montage". Dr. Thanatos of Ann Arbor, Michigan who I co-run the Frequency Mutineers with selected the tracks (and mixed them live) while I put together a ton of old clips in a collage format to sync with the mix. [Midnight Montage ep 00]. In the end, the video came up about 40 seconds over-shot. All complications and delays aside, I'd say the 19 minute vid is worth a glance, especially for those BTWallians who have been waiting patiently.......
"Over two months of no updates, and just one video you have?", you say. Well, I've good news for you dissatisfied. Another project I ventured upon over the first bit of summer was starting a new series of uploads for mashups I've recorded while DJing on various occasions. The first batch can be found on Myspace or ReverbNation.
Another thing: I reworked my very old (first) flash "Twindle Can" setting it to music by Animal Collective and tossed it over to Youtube for your sensing pleasure.
Please enjoy one thing or another and happy browsing.

Click Here to do that- because I know you'd rather check your email then visit this loopy page. And there hasn't been much of anything interesting lately...
Speaking of not releasing anything good recently (I jest) I can happily present you with something decently interesting. A few weeks ago I performed a set as DJ Mookid and filmed it. I also threw down a VJ mix for the audio - which was all sequenced live - and it is watchable on the Whisper Friend youtube channel.
why don't you Have a Look
Thanks to Jennell for the recording.

After VJing at Jungle Liaison a few weeks ago, I present you with the first of many recent Whisper Friend video-clip collages. This one is a music video for Foi oi oi's currently unreleased track "Adventures in Slumber". It features some dreamy light-bending video clips and some old claymation (as my current set-up has temporarily impared my ability to efficiently produce stop-motion).
The web version is now available on Whisper Friend's youtube channel. Have a Watch

The single for Green Aura's "Great Divide" is now available for download. A remix is also included, and is downloadable in zip form on ionetlabel.com. Our EP will be release shortly as well, which will feature 7 tracks of lovely electronic listening music.

thoughts:
Happy New Year, the good lot of you. There have been several good things happening to me lately, largely (to your initial dismay) involving non-internet based activities. This however, may not disappoint you. For one, I've been hard at work on a brand new EP to be released shortly on the I/O net label. It is going to be released with my new musical project Green Aura and features 7 recent tracks. Stay tuned for that around this month.. If anyone is interested in joining a "mailing list" for news on my (local) live appearances, let me know directly (email tom[at]wadebros.com) and I will start something going pronto.
In other news: over the holiday I paid our good friend Mr. Meslatse a visit to see what he had to say about the new year and such. The video of this nonsense will appear on Google Video eventually if I can persuade him to let me post it.
Until then, I have some grand good new Youtube goodness for you to enjoy - the first in a while, at that. This is a breed of videos with my favorite hamster, and a Defragmentation video I wanted to make long ago.
it is called Swim Dance and Burn (visit the youtube page and leave more threatening comments!)

For some reason, people keep sending me these strange emails featuring bad grammar and very intriguing wording of odd phrases and such. Many of them actually mean well, but a few are nothing less than bizarre - I suppose that's what I get for handing out my email address like loopy straws at this lemonade stand of a website. I have now decided to make the best of it and share what interesting things people send me through the *world wide interweb mail system:
"Labor must take what is given skilled and competent delight which we now feel at their death, o slayer anything on his clothes, rawlins He ought to."
"Sanctions slavery, the god of the bible does not. On behalf of the daily wire, went on the young i'll steer the girl? as tempting as venus and and where is she now, i should like to know ? Slight smell of gas, and sure enough, he found letters to it. Even the persian officials themselves no idea of what was best to be done. In these account, because he was unaware of it himself. You and forget. I do not think you will find it man's will. It is in his handwriting, and his"
why not join in on the fun?

Guessing you all had a lovely ole Hallows Eve, I bring you news of interest - filmmaker and electronic musician Jim Ether was on my radio show the other day and put the recording on his website (Perisarc) for you to listen to! If you're not familiar with Ether, he was the author of both films "ALERT" and "Onward to Calgary" as well as some random stuff on newgrounds.
Loads of new mixes from [DJ] Whisper Friend to listen to, and some brand new pictures from a gig I did this grand gools night. Also try looking at some random scraps of photography and records of my recent findings in the world between the walls over at my Photobucket page. Bookmark those and look at them every night as you fall asleep to the static horizon. Good day.

Here is your update: New stuff on the way! I now have a brand new camera (after months with no new visual material to work with) and lots of good things coming to your eager eyes. Now that you have heard from me, go to the [DJ] Whisper Friend myspace and check out some cool mixes. All the complaints shall now stop for another month or so and I can go back to hiding in my cave. Goodbye

I finally finished my brand new video for KingBastard called "Flim the Robot". This time I put my sketchbook to good use and animated all the drawings in flash, so have a watch. Also, there was a (semi) recent compilation release on I/O NetLabel featuring one of my new tracks, which you should download here.
