eleven

hello there

so here we are, look you see. this is being published, or going live, at the most magical, mystical time of the year. at the least, sure, in rock and roll terms. 

at eleven minutes past eleven hours on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, in harmony it is so that all forms of life on the planet pause to consider Nigel Tufnel. well, some of us do that more often than then, this is true, but still, all do it at that time. 

this is, well, yes, this is spinal tap, but still, this is quite tricky. most of you, i suspect, are here for the pictures and animated things, but i do feel compelled to do some writing around them. yet what can one say of Nigel Tufnel other than admire? 

certainly, in celebration of this most excellent moment in music mythology, there are some animated things for you. here is one, for instance, below. watch, and behold, in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode, Nigel perform his art. 

one, as in moi, would assume that this whole "internet" thing is filled celebrations of all things Tufnel today. i find it a bit sad that it isn't at all times anyway, but at least it should be today. 

for those who are inexplicably baffled or unsure as to why this precise moment is the moment of universal harmony for celebrations of Nigel Tufnel, it's down to the amp. he is one louder than everyone else. 

yes, you probably are better off just watching This Is Spinal Tap, again and again and again, to get a full appreciation of this. rather that than rely on me to explain it all. 

more animated ('gif') Nigel Tufnel action to help celebrate the day? of course. 

certainly, as you probably don't need me to elaborate on (but i shall anyway), the above is very much the moment Nigel Tufnel explains how all the dials on his amp go up to 11 (eleven). 

go on, then, another picture.

right, well, enough of my yakking. let's boogie, indeed, and may this post have in some way have helped or enabled you to celebrate Nigel Tufnel. 

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!
