My band, Tim Rally Gold, has been playing a metric shit-ton of shows, and we’ve got a few more coming up before I dip. You should come out, have a drink, and enjoy what’s left of the summer. Our drummer Nick is videotaping all the shows and has been kind enough to upload them to Youtube. If you haven’t seen us play, here’s what you’re missing:

Tim Rally Gold – We Both Said Siena

Tim Rally Gold – Pop Not Soda

Tim Rally Gold (minus Ryan) – Shoot the Singer (Pavement cover)

I really like Torbjørn Rødland’s book ‘White Planet, Black Heart‘, but I hadn’t seen any of his video work. Good news for the interweb, it’s online:

Torbjørn Rødland – Non-Progress – 2006

I knew my friend Michael Leonard was a lot of things; a letterpress operator, a beer brewer, and a future lawyer, but I really didn’t think he was much of a stop-animation guy (especially after our terrible films in college). Lo and behold, he can add that to his resumé, too:

Mike and his family are about to move to Chicago so Mike can attend law school. The thing is, they could really use the money. Mike produced the video above for a contest so he can win some money. But, the only way he can win money is if you vote.

So, please, VOTE for Michael Leonard. Every day. With every single email address you have.
