Why do I feel like I've just picked up the crack pipe again?
Peace Frog here. In the last few years I've bought into a company with two partners, and bought each one out over the last two years. I now own Gamma Blast (folded Peace Frog Productions into the mix) right in the heart of Music Row (
www.gammablast.com). The Peace Polliwog is now 4 1/2 and like Sina's kid, a bonafide math genius (he was explaining the concept of infinity to me just this evening). I also have a 9 1/2 month old son that keeps me on my toes.
I still have regular contact with Rory, and we still talk about doing a Features video "one of these days".
The craziest thing is that my oldest is obsessed with The Features. He found a copy of SKOS that Rory had given me and immediately took it for his own collection. He's a huge music fan and likes to rank drummers (seriously, don't ask). He has Rollum ranked number 2 behind Dave Grohl and ahead of Meg White (so he's 4!). I took him to Grimey's in store and he had a blast. He was awestruck and I became an instant hero to him when Rollum came up to me to say "hi". He could not believe I knew The Features. To him they are a band in a regular rotation of Weezer, Nirvana, White Stripes, REM, Pixies and The Beatles. He was heartbroken, actually cried on the way home, because the only song they didn't play was his favorite, "Wooden Heart".
I don't get out as much as I'd like and rarely get out to see live music unless its for work. I miss the old days a bit, but have fun reliving them with Drake as he scrolls the iPod and listens to Features songs that are permanently ingrained in my head.
I have a PS3 as well... Ben Slack has either deleted me or we keep opposite schedules, because I never see him online.
