HEY! Over here on the left.

This is not a music blog.

It is a blog about me, David Ocker.

But most of me IS about music.

    In which David Shoots the Moon

    copyright (c) David OckerI hope everyone had a fine Ides of March celebration. It's a good religious holiday for people who expect bad things to happen to them.

    Here are two pictures of the moon taken with my old, simple pocket digital. Notice that the moon itself is nothing more than a small white circle. But I thought the framing was nice.


    See the new Sidebar feature - a Zoom Cloud. It automatically searches Mixed Meters for oft-used phrases and lets you find the stuff that's least disinteresting to you.

    Meanwhile, one of our committed readers has suggested that the true purpose of Mixed Meters is to provide online videos. So, in hopes of wasting as much of his time as possible here are more videos.

    A cellist with too much time and too much equipment (thanks to Roger Lebow for this)

    A cool cat animation with music I don't like
    (poor kitty)

    An evil political ad (so scary it's not funny)
    (from the WMFU Beware the Blog)

    What weird plants do when you're not looking
    (I got this animation from, who else, Leslie)

    A movie trailer parody
    (the Lone Ranger had Tonto, Batman had Robin and now...)

    I've posted this before - just go and
    watch Fireworks, Roof Sex and Kaboom!

    1. Should this read, "one of our readers who should be committed"?
    2. Consider the time wasted. Thank you.
