I love nerd humor, but nerds predate the current "geeks are sexy" trend. Old school nerds FTW, nothing but. Besides that I just dig clever humor and amazing natural pictures. Bonus points for awesome band references.

My first public performance (first song)
Like I mentioned in the other video with the remaining two songs from our "set," this is our adult rock band playing. We got together and took lessons from the bassist at a music academy where my daughter is learning piano. They've done kid and teen rock band for a while, but we are the first adult class to try it. We've only been playing together four months, the same amount of time I've been playing drums.
This was a tremendous experience. I wish I hadn't waited until I was 35 to do this. I encourage you all to get out and learn something. Perform somewhere. Don't just click "Save" or "Like" on the next motivational picture that speaks to you! Go out there and do it yourself. Then post your video here and we'll all share in your excitement. :-)

Way to go, Baldy and co.! Brave and inspiring! Does that feel great or what? Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "Music is far too important to be left entirely in the hands of professionals". I've been playing drums and guitar for years but the better I got the more critical I became of myself and now I've just kind of shut down. But I need it badly. I will do just as you encouraged above. Congrats to the whole band. Singer has a lovely voice, btw!
@slog Thanks again! We had a blast and are hoping to keep going.
If you've got any real ability or drive, I'd love to collaborate with you via interwebz. I'm making an album now with a guy in Tehran, Iran of all places! We use places like SoundCloud.com to upload our parts. He's doing guitar, and I'm doing nearly everything else (mostly by programming synth and drums plus playing bass and writing/singing vocals). Think about it. You need a moderately decent PC and a good DAW. I use MixCraft which is about $70. I've got a good mic and so far it's real refreshing to do my own stuff.
Besides, the low-fi "rough around the edges" sound is in right now! :-)

@justabaldguy The invitation is greatly appreciated! However, I'm so behind on project I've already started that I would undoubtedly prove burdensome to yours. You must inform us when you have SoundCloudings to share! For my stuff I've reverted back to analog and am using a TASCAM 246 that I got from an auction for next to nothing. I've taken it apart and restored it (new belts, etc.). Now I just have to put it to work!

My first ever public performance
OK MLKSHK friends,
This is me playing the drums for our "rock band" recital last night. I bought a drum set in February and have been playing since then. With us is a lead singer who's never sung solo, a guitarist who's been playing for two years, and our instructor and professional musician on the bass.
I've been playing guitar for 20 years, and bass for about 12 or so. I didn't realize until the night before though that I've never played a "real" show. I've played guitar in front of friends and family, but never total strangers and never with more than just one other person. This was a dream come true, despite not getting to rock a few harder songs and despite a few flubs.
I hope you'll take a look. I admit I drew strength from several of you here who have performed publicly, so thank you for sharing your personal performances.

Well-done, bud!
Think this is accurate?

I wouldn't say the Steelers are the dominant team in Central PA, it's a pretty even mix of Stillers and Iggles fans, with a smaller but strong contingent of 'Skins fans.

The SHKer Key Share!
Show us your keys, MLKSHKers! When you're out and about, what keys do you always carry with you? For me, it's a my minivan ignition key with the church key on it, and my house key on the #1 Dad key chain (which typically stays in the cup holder in the van until I get home). That's it! I despise having superfluous keys.
What about you?

I'm racking my brain trying to come up with one half as good as this one.
I carry two keys. House key and car key, no ring. The car key has a rat sized chunk chewed out of the rubber end.
Rush - Subdivisions (8-bit remix)
Is it too late to make an 8-bit Rush game? An action RPG perhaps?
Take my money! If only! On such a RUSH kick this year and I just can't stop.
