[Music] Mother Love Bone - This Is Shangri-la.

Mother Love Bone were a hard rock proto-grunge band fronted by Andrew Wood.   Wood died of a heroin overdose before MLB released the début album in 1990, 21 years ago. MLB had the chance to be big, very big. They could have been Seattle's biggest stars, pre-grunge. It wasnt to be, with Woods death on March 19th 1990 signalling the end of their career.

Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament of Mother Love Bone, along with Wood's friend and roommate, Chris Cornell (of Soundgarden fame) recorded the album "Temple Of The Dog" as a tribute to Wood. Also on the Temple album was Eddie Vedder, who subsequently teamed up with again Gossard and Ament to form Pearl Jam.

Yesterday finally saw the release on DVD of "Malfunkshun: The Andrew Wood Story", 5 years after it had its premiers on the independent film circuit (Sundance, Toronto etc). See the website for information on the DVD release http://www.malfunkshun.com/. Malfunkshun was the band that Wood fronted prior to MLB.

Play the song, check out the film. Buy the "Mother Love Bone" compilation album (it contains the "Apple" début album plus their EPs).

[Music] Fugazi - Waiting Room [Live].

Some rather fine footage of Fugazi in their early days performing "Waiting Room" off their debut eponymous 1988 EP. An excellent performance, the band are tight and the crowd are excellent

Overreach.

Apple iPhone 4 | Edited in the Instagram app.  Grabbed this on the iPhone whilst out taking Polaroid for 'RoidWeek.  The scene was too dark for a Polaroid to work, but came out nicely on the iPhone, even better when run through a "vintage" filter in Instagram.

[Movies] The Dark Knight Rises teaser poster synergy.

A "mash up" of the 3 Nolan era Batman "Teaser Posters". Design synergy working well.

[Music] Shed 7 - Bully Boy.

A classic indie-pop tune from 1996. You have to select "240p" from the video size for it to work with sound for some odd reason.

[Stuff] Flashed Face Distortion Effect

Just do what it says in the video. Amazing.

Dam That River.

My final two Polaroids for Roid Week Summer 2011. These were the last of decent shots I had left over from my trip out on Monday, and even still Im not 100% sure about one of them.  First is on SX70 with Polaroid ATZ film; second on the modified SX70 using TIP PX600SSFF.  Alice In Chains songs to round the week off.

Go and have a look at the Group on Flickr [link above] and give yourself an hour or so of looking through the photo pool. some truly amazing stuff in there.
