Fires hit close to home
FM FAMILY: FIRES HIT CLOSE TO HOME
For those that have seen the news on the wild fires out here around LA, its definitely hitting close to home. They’re saying the air quality has been the worst ever, bad enought to make you cough and hurt your eyes.
Our guitarist and bassist in our band, Dean and Sug Parra, have a house/recording studio called Hilltop Studios up in Anahiem Hills which is in the heart of the fires. We were watching the news when we heard… “theres and intense fire off the Weir Canyon exit off the 91 freeway.. homes are burning in Laureltree ave”… i was thinking “THATS DEAN AND SUGS EXIT AND STREET!”
I called Dean to make sure he was all good but no answer the whole night.
On the news they said over 800 homes had been burned with the whole area evacuated. They also reported that the fires were so large they could be seen from space. I finally got a hold of Dean who said him and his family evacuated. They all had to evacuate and he had a crazy story to share…..
Calm before the storm
FM ADVENTURE: CALM BEFORE THE STORM
This month has been pretty crazy preparing for the Animal Album release and the FM TV Release Party show on November 25th. Getting the album mixed, some final guest appearances and last minute track additions.. along with getting this release party set up has all been a ton of work and we can’t wait.
We decided to take a night and breathe… talk about the plans for Animal and whats in store for the begining of 2009.. and talk about stuffed pig intestines and spicy chicken gizzards? ANIMAL STYLE.

so its been two days since the OJ decision…and to be honest im so jaded with this guy that i didnt pay too much attention…but while i was watching some tv, one commentator’s take on the situation i thought was interesting…
he compared OJ’s life to a “classic greek tragedy”…
1. at first he was a great warrior who was beloved by his people at the height of his glory: he was one of the greatest all time running backs in football…then parlayed this into a successful career in tv and film…at one point he was pitching hertz commercials…and he still cracks me up in “naked gun”
