No commentsWendy & Lisa Presents White Flags of Winter Chimneys
Similar to my love of Timmy as a performer and musician, I have that same love for Wendy and Lisa, former Revolution members of Prince’s iconic band. They’re back with their first album in a decade, White Flags of Winter Chimneys, which they are releasing totally independently through their website. As an owner of the new album, I highly recommend it. Ever since I bought it, I’ve been regularly listening to it on my iPod and in iTunes. It’s definitely one my favorite albums of 2008, if not the best.
Don’t dismiss Wendy and Lisa as former 80s icons who aren’t musicians in their own right. They have scored various films (Hav Plenty, Something New) and TV shows (Heroes, Crossing Jordan). They also have released several solo LPs in the post-Revolution breakup.
If you ever were fans of the duo and liked them as Revolution members, please check out the following:

80s Throwback: The Jacksons – Can You Feel It
The song “Can You Feel It” by The Jacksons is one of my favorite songs by the group, if not my favorite. Whenever I hear this song, it makes me groove and gets me pumped, no mater what kind of day I’m having.
No comments80s Throwback: Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer
I decided to pick an artist that Timmy played with in the past for today’s 80s throwback. I was a little slow in discovering Peter Gabriel, and I had never heard of him until I saw his (still) classic video for the song, “Sledgehammer” on MTV. Once I did, I became an instant fan of his music.
Conceptually, the “Sledgehammer” video would have never been made if it followed today’s (boring) standards for music videos; however, this video, like many in the 80s, is a true example of art and creativity. Arguably, it is the best video ever made…even better than “Thriller” by Michael Jackson, in my opinion.
No commentsUTF Site Update: 03.29.08
UTF version 5 launches! At last, at last, at last! I’m sure some of you are saying, “It’s about time.” Trust me, I am too; I was just as sick of the old layout as some of you. I slaved, I kept my nose to the grind, and I worked my entire Easter vacation to get this done; however, I think you’ll find that it was well worth it. I would have been ready to launch sooner had the web site outages halted the backend work I needed to complete, but unfortunately, no one can predict when server issues occur.
Because my web host is still experiencing some problems, it’s possible that UTFv5 is a little slow to respond when you initially click on a link or page. Slower responses in page load will also occur because I’m precompiling everything upon initial load. I know I’m speaking a bit geek now, but that essentially means the site is loading the page contents upfront before it displays in your web browser. When you revisit that page (once it loaded the first time), it will display pretty fast because it was preloaded and cached (stored).
I’ve tested the site in Firefox and IE, so everything should look and display normal. If anyone runs across any problems or if anything looks funny, drop me an email via the Contact UTF link.
Now that I’ve launched this thing, I think I’ll catch up on some of the sleep I’ve lost getting this site finished. I hope everyone enjoys the new look and features!
