Day 243 of 365: a year in songs and photos and #16 in the Queens of the Stone Age pictorial discography
Song: QOTSA, Everybody Knows That You Are Insane
So you are probably asking yourself, what does a picture of clovers have to do with being insane? Well, I will tell you.
I arrived home from work physically and mentally exhausted. There were a bunch of teenagers in my living room and my son was on my computer, so I kicked off my shoes and socks and went outside. I walked around the house, inspecting the flowers and grass (maybe I expected them to grow since I left the house this morning?) and I came across this batch of clovers over by the hose. So I sat down in the grass and started looking for a four leaf clover.
I must have been looking very intently because when I looked up, my neighbor across the street was staring at me, as was his wife. They had that "there she goes again" look on their faces, the kind they usually reserve for when I am outside at 5am with my camera pointed at their trees. They smiled and waved and I waved back and I know that as soon as they got in their car they started making plans to have a talk with Todd about my odd behavior. Then again, my neighbor has windmills in his backyard made out of used table fans. So pot, kettle and all.
I went back to picking through the clovers, having no luck finding good luck, and decided to get my camera, being that I had no photo for tonight, nor any brain capacity needed to come up with something interesting. I figured I would just shoot the clovers, maybe photoshop them a little to make them interesting, and call it a day. Call it day 243, to be precise.
So there I am standing in my front yard with my hefty zoom lens pointed down at the grass, and my next door neighbor walks out her door and gives me that same look she gave me when she saw me at 6am last week taking pictures of the earwig crawling up the wall. She gives me a meek smile, I give her one back, with that little "hi, you caught me doing something weird" wave. I keep shooting and I know she wants to ask what I'm taking pictures of, but she never does.
It's just as well that these neighbors think I'm insane, as the whole rest of the block already does, thanks to the conversations I have with my dog as I walk her every afternoon, and the fact that our cat tags along on our walks and I talk to her, too.
Also, I feel I have broken the "crazy" ice, and now Hi won't look at me weird when I ask to photograph his windmills and my other neighbor won't be surprised when I finally ask her if I can do a flower pornography shoot in her garden.
Just kidding about that (see this morning's flower for the reference. I am not THAT insane)...although.......hmmm..
About the song: This is a great song, I love the way it changes pace a lot, but what irks me about it is the official title is Everybody Knows That YOU ARE Insane, while the lyrics say Everybody Knows That YOU'RE Insane. I don't know why that bothers me, but it does, like an itch that won't go away.

You have no idea how happy I was to see these guys up close and in the flesh (managed to get shoved all the way to the fence by a mosh pit behind me and it was GREAT), and of all the photos I took at Lowlands with my Shitty Cellphone Camera (tm) this one probably turned out the best. So double win for me! :D
As for building stuff: I still only have access to a very limited amount of bricks and quite little time to do anything with those, so my MOCing drought will continue for a while (at least until I can get my collection moved from Norway to NL).
Words are weightless here on earth because they're free. You knew someone else before, looked alot like me. - Queens Of The Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age's follow-up to 2007's "Era Vulgaris" will feature Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl on drums, the band has confirmed.
According to Pitchfork, band mastermind Josh Homme announced on BBC Radio 1 on Tuesday (Nov. 6) that drummer Joey Castillo was no longer with the band (which has long featured a revolving cast of contributors, aside from Homme), and that Grohl was back on board with QOTSA. The Foos frontman and former Nirvana drummer previously sat behind the kit for the band's 2002 breakout "Songs for the Deaf," which featured the hit single "No One Knows" and has sold 1.1 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
To spread the news to all QOTSA fans, the band posted a photo on Twitter on Tuesday of a soundboard that reads "J HO - Guitar" and "Dave - Drums."
Last month, Grohl confirmed that Foo Fighters was officially taking a break, following last year's Grammy-winning "Wasting Light" and an extensive tour supporting the album. "Never in my wildest dreams did I think Foo Fighters would make it this far… There were times when I wanted to give up. But I can't give up this band. And I never will," he wrote in a letter to fans.
Queens of the Stone Age are slated to perform at the Download Festival in the U.K. next June, but the band's first full-length in over five years could come before then. When asked by a fan on Twitter if a new QOTSA album would be released before Download Fest, the group's Twitter account responded, "good plan."
Far beyond the desert road
Where everything ends up
So good the empty space, mental erase
Forgive, forgot
Heal them, like fire from a gun
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Heal them, with fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
I don't know what time it was
I don't wear a watch
So good to be an ant who crawls
Atop a spinning rock
Heal them, like fire from a gun
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Heal them, with fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Heal them, like fire from a gun
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Healing, kneeling
Godless heathens
Godless heathens always waltz on the sky

La grande stagione dei concerti milanesi non poteva dirsi tale senza gli Independent Days, meglio conosciuti come IDays. La manifestazione musicale, si svolge dal 21 al 24 giugno presso il Parco Experience di Rho, ovvero la struttura nata dall’ex Area Expo 2015.
Band capitanata da Joshua Homme, tornano in Italia per una data imperdibile il 24 giugno agli I-DAYS.
Dopo centinaia di live epici e le nomination ai Grammy, i Queens Of The Stone Age riemergono dal deserto con il settimo album, “Villains”, accompagnato da un tour mondiale di grandissimo successo. Prodotto da Mark Ronson, “Villains“ è il primo album dei Queens Of The Stone Age da “…Like Clockwork” del 2013, album che ha portato la band al #1 posto in classifica in U.S. e al #2 in UK. In “Villains” appare inconfondibile, come sempre, il sound rock’n’roll che la band porterà in giro per il mondo.
