White Canyon

Pictures from the Thanksgiving trip to New Mexico, but I'm just getting around to posting them now. These are from a place called White Canyon, near Abiquiu (rhymes with barbeque). The third picture helps to explain why this canyon has been a popular spot to film scenes that are supposed to take place on the moon. The really low gravity around Abiquiu makes it look all the more realistic. The last picture is of an adobe mosque built by a community of hippies who converted to Islam in the ’60s and settled in Abiquiu. Georgia O'Keefe's Ghost Ranch is not far off.

Notice the blue of the sky. You just don't see that anywhere else.

Kimchee Sequel

I do want to make absolutely clear from the outset that this song is totally tongue-in-cheek. It started out as something so stupid it made me laugh, something that would sound at home pumping out of the speakers in the dressing room at the hideous teen fashion store at the mall. But then it acquired a character of its own, and I actually became attached to the cheesy MIDI arena guitar. So I fleshed it out and called it Kimchee Sequel. Like most sequels, it pales in comparison to the original.
