That there
That’s not me
I go where I please
I walk through walls
[...]
In a little while
I’ll be gone
one day I'll take a better version of this one
The Cathedral and it's leaning bell tower in Pisa, Italy.
Pisa Italy, we ported in Livorno and took a tour into Pisa so that we could see for ourselves the famous leaning tower. The first thing you feel when you see it is "Wow, how in the world does that thing NOT fall over!!!" It really is leaning farther than I ever realized.
Swami (2022)
Before I get into this wonderful, wonderful album, I just wanted to mention that as the release date of the record approached, I tried to read some reviews on it to see what others thought. The sheer amount of awful websites that copy and paste the press release and pass that off as a review is staggering to me. It makes me wonder if any of them even bothered to listen to it.
It's very easy to write that John Reis is also in Rocket From The Crypt, Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu, Night Marchers, Sultans and more while pointing out the Rob Crow has history in Pinback, Thingy, Heavy Vegetable and others. Throw out that Atom Willard used to drum for Rocket From The Crypt and has spent time in Against Me, Special Goodness, Offspring, etc. And Maybe Jordan Clark will get a mention for his work in Mrs. Magician and The Soaks. Maybe.
Look at that. I just filled up an entire paragraph without actually saying anything. I'm not going to pretend that I'm a great writer with anything particularly useful to say. Anyone who reads this dumb website knows I just blather on about records and often I write more about my relationship to said record than any intricacy of what the record sounds like or is trying to convey. But I'll be damned if I just copy a press release and pretend I wrote it.
Diatribe aside, what you need to know about this PLOSIVS record is that it is unbelievably great. Mind-melting perfection. I have been a Swami devotee since about 1994, when I first got my hands on a borrowed copy of Circa: Now. Since then I have joyfully followed John to every band he has been a part of, loving every single thing he's ever touched. There's always been something about the way his songs come out that really connect to my ears. But even with all of that history and the insanely lofty expectations that come along with it, I was shocked by just how completely, ridiculously amazing this PLOSIVS record is.
You've got some of John's familiar aesthetic here for sure. The chugging guitar riffs that drive the songs and the intricate breakdowns that crop up and veer off into unexpected territory that miraculously makes perfect sense when it reconnects back to the main song structure. But as familiar as you might be with the tricks of John's trade, adding Rob Crow to the mix just blows up everything you thought you knew. Rob's complete mastery of vocal melodies and innate ability to cram a hook into a song that maybe wasn't expecting one elevates PLOSIVS into mythical territory.
I could go on and on and on about how much I adore Hot Snakes and Night Marchers and everything that John has been involved in, but this truly is one of the best records that has his name on it. Sure, Rocket will always be my favorite band he's done, but I'll put this PLOSIVS record up against anything he's done in the past, I don't know, twenty years? And that's twenty years filled with some of the greatest albums I've ever heard in my entire life.
I am a pretty big Pinback fan, I have all of the records and listen to them regularly (especially Summer In Abaddon), but PLOSIVS is probably the best thing Rob Crow has ever released in my humble opinion. There's an energy and a propulsion that I think is bringing out the best in him. I know that Atom is an incredible drummer and hearing him with John again is rekindling a magical connection. Pairing Atom with Jordan on bass gives these songs a depth and a vigor that reminds me a little bit of how Mark Trombino and Mike Kennedy created something really special in Drive Like Jehu. PLOSIVS has a completely different vibe than Jehu, but a killer rhythm section making songs magical is something they very much have in common.
There are two versions of the LP. The red vinyl is the regular edition that you can get at your local record store or online retailer of your choice. Once again a Swami related band has the black vinyl as the more limited version. So far it has only been available directly from the band at shows. I got my copy when I saw them play in Philadelphia. An unsurprisingly wonderful show. I am not positive that the black vinyl is limited to 200 copies, but if the quantities of other limited Swami releases are an indicator, I'm going to make an educated guess and just come back and correct it if I find out other information.
I don't know who is still reading at this point. If you come to this website, you probably are naturally inclined to like something like PLOSIVS. I don't know that anything I write is going to make you listen to this record if you weren't already planning to. But what I can say is that this is hands down the best album of 2022. It's probably the best record I've heard in the last ten years and I'm saying this with only about a month of listening to it. It's kind of crazy just how completely I've connected with this record. I love every second of it and can only wait, hoping for more. I have read that they've already recorded a lot of their second LP already. I would be happy to get two PLOSIVS records in a year. I'll take that every year.

How does a cricket bat, tennis racquet, or baseball bat work? It acts as a go-between, helping your body to transfer kinetic energy and momentum from your moving arm to the ball. As Rod Cross points out in his superb book on Physics of Baseball and Softball, for efficient energy transfer, the ratio of the mass of your arm to the mass of the bat needs to be about the same as the ratio of the mass of the bat to the mass of the ball.

i got a call today that i wasn't quite expecting yet. you see, i haven't spoken with my father in 10 years or more, and wasn't ever sure if i was going to again. for those who don't know my past, i didn't have the easiest childhood, but i'm not out looking for sympathy. the short but not sweet truth is i grew up with an alcoholic father, and my mother was strong enough at one point when i was reaching my teenage years to finally kick his ass out, and i haven't talked to him since. after growing up, i debated it, but the sad truth is that inside i was still a scared little boy, and could never bring myself to do it.
well, no more even thinking about that. he's dead, at 63. cancer they say, but, what really killed him is alcoholism. i'm not even sure how i feel. at first i felt i should cry, but couldn't, then i shed a tear, then... i just feel apathetic. it's such a bizarre feeling.
i'm left with these photos, captures of the innocence of youth, before his own father, also an alcoholic, corrupted his young mind forever, and left him a mess. i can only hope that i never follow that same road, and now that i wrote this sentence, yeah, i'm crying.
i'll never forget the first time i heard this song, and i literally had to pull off the road. it hit me so hard. i knew this day would come. sure, the words may not fit my life exactly, but... the emotions are the same.
styrofoam plates by death cab for cutie
There's a saltwater film on the jar of your ashes
I threw them to sea, but a gust blew them backwards
and the sting in my eyes that you then inflicted was
par for the course just as when you were living
It's no stretch to say you were not quite a father,
but a donor of seeds to a poor single mother that would
raise us alone. We never saw the money that went down
your throat through the hole in your belly.
13 years old in the suburbs of Denver, standing in line
for Thanksgiving dinner at the Catholic church the servers
wore crosses to shield from the sufferance plaguing the others
Styrofoam plates cafeteria tables, charity reeks of cheap wine
and pity, and I'm thinking of you I do every year when we count all our
blessings and I wonder what we're doing here.
You're a disgrace to the concept of family the priest won't
divulge the fact in his homily and I'll stand up and scream if
the mourning remain quiet, you can deck out lie in a suit but I won't buy it
I won't join in the procession that's speaking their
peace using five dollar words while praising his integrity,
just cause he's gone doesn't change the fact:
he was a bastard in life, thus a bastard in death.
i'm sorry i still hurt.

I get asked a lot how I take my shots....what equipment I use, where I place it etc. This is a production image and finished image placed side by side to show you exactly what I did to capture this image. As listed on the photo I used 4 Rotolights (favorite lights ever), 4 MeFoto tripods for my lightstands, 2 Pocket Wizards and my Nikon SB910 Speedlight for backlighting (off camera) flash.
I hope this helps! As you can see in the picture we go to insane places and do REAL shoots at my workshops which are done all over the U.S. I'd love to see you at one soon!!
Skyler had been filling her smile box with toys and treats. That box has been re organised several times until she was satisfied. But then she said to me stretching her hand out with a Christmas card in it.
''How do I spell me name?, I dunno that one yet !'
So I wrote it down for her and she copied in her best handwriting

Knowing your face shape can help you project a more feminine look by matching your face shape with glasses (if needed), hair style, hat, "sissy" earrings, eyebrows and blush placement. Using these items to create a pretty look may seem difficult at first, but it is fun and will help you create a

Beyond your wildest dreams.

Blazer: Vintage (1989), thrifted
Dress: brand?, local second-hand shop
Socks: Target
Boots: Frye, local western store
Bag: Vintage (70’s?) Valentino, thrifted
This blazer is one of my favorite vintage items. The crest reads: “Coast Guard Academy 1989”, it is a warm, cozy, navy blue wool and it has a fantastic scarlet red lining. I think I love it because it is just so darn wearable. I can dress it up or just wear on a casual day of running errands—it seems so right for any occasion. I paired with this 70’s or 80’s Valentino bag that I recently thrifted. I also broke out my Frye boots for the first time this fall. I can’t possibly describe how much I love these boots so I won’t even try!
Is anybody else out there a Frye fanatic?

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
