Flashback!

July 17, 2013Glyph 29 Comments

Anybody remember MTV’s Amp? It was a mid-nineties late-night program with no VJ’s, focused on electronic music. They would “mix” or blend the videos in a fashion similar to a DJ mixing tracks. It was pretty cool. Unfortunately, there appear… Continue Reading →

FRIDAY NIGHT VIDEOS! One thing my town lacks is a proper adult nightclub – I don’t mean the kind you where can go dance, or see a band play, or a raucous dive bar or a meat market; I mean… Continue Reading →

Dreams!
