So why is a Detroit rock blog even discussing Michael Jackson.....certainly the Jacksons weren't Detroit Rock. No...... but they were&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; from&lt;/span&gt; Detroit in a way.........because if there wasn't a Motown,  hence there would of been....no Jackson 5, no J5, no Michael.  So I felt it was important to acknowledge him....&lt;br /&gt;So here it goes..... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;the Jarvy Jazz&lt;/span&gt;.  I am so sick of listening to all the pillars of the Black community talking about how important Michael was to the Black heritage and what a great humanitarian and friend he was and...... blah blah blah.....Listen I don't take anything away from the guy.....he was an amazing singer and dancer, but I want to know where were all these great celebrities 2 weeks ago when MJ was holed up in his rented house bankrupt and scorned as a child molester......I didn't see Spike Lee, Jeese Jackson, or the Reverend Al hanging out over at Micheal's playing Guitar Hero with him.  I think MJ would be happy at all the attention he's received since his fateful day.....after all I believe the limelight was more important than anything to him....but why was it so important?  Well...I think we all know that MJ had a very troubled life all the way back to when we remember seeing those Motown audition tapes of him singing "I got the Felling" at 5 years old.  It's so weird when you look at those old videos of him on stage at 9 or 10 and he looks like a man in a child's body and then later when it appears that he is a "child in a mans (well sort of) body".   Something just wasn't right.  And for that I was sad for him. But comon!!! Stop being Hippocrates...you can't have it both ways.....or......maybe you can.  After all this is America.&lt;br /&gt;RIP Michael........and shame on you.......leaders of the Black Community.&lt;br /&gt;Jarvy July 3rd, 2009&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-4653541838792734454?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/Sk2zwZazAeI/AAAAAAAAAG0/0MU_MoEzS0c/s72-c/michael_jackson.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">7</thr:total></item><item><title>Eminem Says He Was Not a Chump!!!</title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2009/06/eminem-says-he-was-not-chump.html</link><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:58:07 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-1119565551280276942</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SjCcmmN1vCI/AAAAAAAAAGs/2kEj7PqYBgk/s1600-h/f79f7d4c-6c28-48ca-aeaa-c3d8c015affe.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SjCcmmN1vCI/AAAAAAAAAGs/2kEj7PqYBgk/s320/f79f7d4c-6c28-48ca-aeaa-c3d8c015affe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345944944596335650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="entry_body_text"&gt;                              &lt;p&gt;Do you believe it?

I all fairness, he wasn't really all that bad in his semi-auto graphical movie....butt (pardon the pun) then again he was playing basically himself, wasn't he?  I will say..... I did laugh at loud at the TV and that's pretty rare these days.  Esspecially while watching the MTV movie awards.  It has.....well MTV overall has disintegrated into such a piece shit (a 13 year wet dream....The Hills, come on what the ***** is that), that its hard to beleive that this was a TV channel that changed the face of rock and roll.

The problem is the screenwriter's dream of making the ultimate Rock and Roll Movie is a dream that is not coming true.  Getting the right people to even know your screenplay exists, is nearly impossible.  I have read 1000 websites about screenwriting and how to get your script into the right hands and have had absolutely zero success.  At some point I decided that maybe I have been going about this all wrong.  Instead of trying to get my movie made by Hollywood, maybe I should think about making my movie on my own.  OK, the first thing that I would need to do is downsize the script to a more manageable size.........I don't believe i can shoot the scenes in the 80,000 seat stadiums and make it realistic.  Stay tuned.  I'll be back, when I have revised the script.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-1156639220796766920?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SbrngwsEBII/AAAAAAAAAGk/So17qOslChQ/s72-c/l_fdd8118319734cec6d5936d3053e0225.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>RED is the Color of Change</title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2008/11/red-is-color-of-change.html</link><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Sun, 09 Nov 2008 14:45:57 PST</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-8485572478295098413</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SRdneVG7tSI/AAAAAAAAAFM/pe0FrnHY5bo/s1600-h/9_monsterrigxxxx.6a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 208px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SRdneVG7tSI/AAAAAAAAAFM/pe0FrnHY5bo/s320/9_monsterrigxxxx.6a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266792059993044258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;he new Red Scarlet is going to be unveiled in 4 days.   Last year at NAB, Red Digital Cinema showcased the long-awaited Scarlet, a compact model capable of shooting 3K video for under $3,000. Film and video enthusiasts flooded the show floor, clawing to catch a glimpse of the Scarlet's rectangular upright body and unconventional architecture. The Scarlet is equipped with a new 2/3-inch Mysterium sensor and supports 1-120fps with a 180fps burst mode. The Scarlet can capture video up to 100Mbps in REDCODE Raw format and RGB recording to dual compact flash.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;"Considering the performance and the price of Scarlet, it's going to have a huge range of customers, from the soccer moms to the indie filmmakers," stated Ted Schilowitz, Leader of the Rebellion at Red Digital Cinema.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;Red's latest compact addition has a 4.8-inch LCD screen, 8x optical zoom lens, and full Auto or Manual shooting modes. The Scarlet's connectivity includes HDMI, HD-SDI, FireWire 800, and USB 2.0. Many of the accessories from the Red One are compatible with the Scarlet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;The Digital Film Making community has waited almost a year for the release of this amazing camera.  And after the release of the Red Camera, no one doubted this was going to change everything.  Just when you think you know what to expect, Red goes and changes everything.  They annouced ( a few months ago) that The Scarlet was going back in for a complete redesign and to just try and imagine the most awesome camera in the world and it will be even better than that.  Well the time has come and on November 13th, we will finally know what the new Scarlet is all about.  I don't think that I have ever seen so much web activity about a new product than I have about this camera.  If it trulely does provide 3K video in a small handheld package and cost $3000, it will change the whole industry.  I have been saving my pennies and will be ready on the 13th to put in my order.  Will you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-8485572478295098413?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SRdneVG7tSI/AAAAAAAAAFM/pe0FrnHY5bo/s72-c/9_monsterrigxxxx.6a.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>The Living End</title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2008/08/living-end.html</link><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 14:10:53 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-1675403024610591816</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SLHOGhRNy8I/AAAAAAAAAEE/ENKfmbwA16k/s1600-h/01e_thelivingend_wideweb__430x316.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 210px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SLHOGhRNy8I/AAAAAAAAAEE/ENKfmbwA16k/s320/01e_thelivingend_wideweb__430x316.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238194453013711810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Butler from Rock and Roll geek Show claims that Australia produces more great rock and roll bands than even the home of R&amp;amp;R ...the USA.  I don't know if I totally agree with that statement, but the truth is; they surely have given us some of the great rock bands of our time.&lt;br /&gt;From old school bands like AC/DC, INXS, and Rose Tattoo: to the new generation with bands like  The Vines, Jet, and Wolfmother.  One band that has remained unknown here in the USA, but has built a huge following in their homeland of Australia has just released their 5th album and the Australian critics are hailing it as their best yet. The band is called '&lt;a href="http://www.thelivingend.com.au/"&gt;The Living End&lt;/a&gt;" And the album is called "White Noise" It was recorded here in Hobokan New Jersey and was mixed by my favorite producer Brendan O'Brien.  This band has been knockin them down for 15 years straight without a break.  And why they are not a household name is beyond me.  If you like your rock and roll straight ahead, with a great melody, then you'll love this band.  Check em' out, I promise, you won't be dissapointed.&lt;br /&gt;Jarvy, Aug 24, 2008&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-1675403024610591816?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SLHOGhRNy8I/AAAAAAAAAEE/ENKfmbwA16k/s72-c/01e_thelivingend_wideweb__430x316.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>American Star Screenplay Complete!</title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2008/07/american-star-screenplay-complete.html</link><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:39:08 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-2287976334961672929</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://dakotaonefilms.webs.com/index.html"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 278px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SIEI1xbRPmI/AAAAAAAAADs/-MKz3-lduDw/s200/Poster+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224466762620288610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;The screenplay is done and I am on to the next step....selling the screenplay.  Of course this is all new to me and trying to get someone to read your work, when you don't have an agent is a nearly impossible task.  But, we don't like the word "impossible"!  Nothing is impossible is you really want it.  I know that sounds like New Age &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;gobbly goop...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;but I really do believe it.&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;  If &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt; s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;tudy up on the people who achieved their dreams, the story is always the same. It is about someone who doesn't give up and never let's the word "NO" stop them from their quest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;And my quest is to get this movie made.  I seriously believe that my only real option is going to making the movie myself.  The new age of technology has effected the Indie Film business maybe like no other field in the world.  I can equate it with the Recording Studio Biz.  10 years ago, you either needed 1/2 of a million dollars (or more) to obtain the needed equipment to make a real professional recording.  Or be able to pay $200 an hour to rent a studio.  Today you can make that same recording with all the "Right Gear"  on your laptop with $1000 worth of software.  And that's not an exaggeration!! Now just because you have the right equipment, that dose not mean that you automatically know how to use it and it's the same thing with the film biz. Even with the right equipment, you still need talent and experience to be able to use it correctly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;I have a website for my film company, "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);" href="http://dakotaonefilms.webs.com/index.html"&gt;Dakota One Films&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;".  I have put up a short trailer/teaser for the movie.  It's only a flash slide show, but it will give you an idea what kind of movie I want to make.  If you know anyone who would be interested in either looking at the script or investing in an Indie Movie Project, please direct them to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" href="http://dakotaonefilms.webs.com/index.html"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);"&gt;the site&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt; I really appreciate it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-2287976334961672929?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/SIEI1xbRPmI/AAAAAAAAADs/-MKz3-lduDw/s72-c/Poster+2.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>The World We Live In</title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2008/07/world-we-live-in.html</link><category>35mm Lens Adaptor</category><category>HV30</category><category>DV Film</category><category>Letus</category><category>HV20</category><category>Filmmaking</category><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:57:09 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-7740931241010709284</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x81/charleslowthian/RunGunMiniLOL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x81/charleslowthian/RunGunMiniLOL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-size:85%;" &gt;When I decided to shoot my own movie, I investigated all my options, regarding the DV Camcorder market.

I have completed &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;about&lt;/span&gt; 2/3's of the script and I must say.....I am really excited about what I have. It is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;absolutely&lt;/span&gt; the best thing I have ever done &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;artistically&lt;/span&gt;. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;working&lt;/span&gt; title is "AMERICAN STAR". I had mentioned last year on this blog that this title held sentimental &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;appeal&lt;/span&gt; to me...for this was the title of a rock opera which I wrote with my first rock group back in the early 70's. When I receive the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;inevitable&lt;/span&gt; question that every screenwriter is asked when they reveal that they are writing a screenplay, "What's it about"...here is what I say.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;American Star is the story of a young kid growing up in the 60's and 70's, who has a life long ambition to become a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;rock star&lt;/span&gt; and even though he has had a difficult life (he never knew his real parents and grew up in a series of abusive foster homes) his &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;perseverance&lt;/span&gt; is rewarded by becoming one of the biggest rock stars of the 1970's. This is the story of the excesses of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;rock star&lt;/span&gt; life in a time when sex, drugs, and rock and roll was a "Good Thing". But even so, fame and fortune still do not &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;guarantee&lt;/span&gt; happiness and this guy's journey about finding what really is important in life is the main plot of this story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;That's&lt;/span&gt; the long version. Usually when I am asked "what's it about", I say....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;I want to make "THE ROCK AND ROLL ROCKY"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.. I know that sounds kind of trite and silly, but....I really do want &lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;accomplish&lt;/span&gt; two things with my movie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;#1. To show what it was &lt;strong&gt;really like&lt;/strong&gt;, being a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;rock star&lt;/span&gt; in the 70's, when "Being a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Rock star&lt;/span&gt;" really meant &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;something&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;And #2.

What's most amazing is that you put on Bellybutton in 2008 and it still sounds better than any powerpop rock record of today. How did it happen that &lt;a href="http://zenandjuice.com/music/jellyfish/"&gt;Jellyfish&lt;/a&gt; never happened like it was suppose to?  Well there are a number o reasons, I'm sure....but probably the best reason was that the timing was wrong. in the early 90's is was all about Grunge and not about guys in funny hats.  That was probably a bad move.....looking back.  The image they were trying to portray was all wrong. Ans it didn't have anything to do with the music.  So at this point you are saying to yourself.....What is Jarvy talking about....has he lost it?  This blog and podcast is about Detroit rock and other straight up rock and roll...isn't it?  Well yea...it is but I thought it was time to come out and tell you this is my favorite band (at least of my adult life....the MC5 and The Stooges were my childhood bands).  You have to go to Itunes or better yet....go to Amazon and buy one of the only {2} studio albums.  Bellybutton or Spilt Milk.  I promise you...if you love a great production and a good  melody in your rock, you won't be disappointed.  The keyboard player and one of the 2 main writers is still making music and has a great website.  His name is &lt;a href="http://www.rogerjosephmanningjr.com/projects/jellyfish/"&gt;Roger Manning Jr.&lt;/a&gt;  The other musical genius is &lt;a href="http://jjyoung.home.mindspring.com/Andy/index.html"&gt;Andy Strummer&lt;/a&gt;.  The singer and writer with Roger.  Andy is not as active as Roger in todays internet world of music....but his is still doing a couple of projects.  One really cool project that he sang on is:&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/bleuleo"&gt; L.E.O.&lt;/a&gt; a take of on ELO of the 70's one of the precursors to powerpop.  And of course the ELO was influence by the original Powerpop band....the Beatles.   Theres also a brand new double tribute album for &lt;a href="http://zenandjuice.com/music/jellyfish/"&gt;Jellyfish&lt;/a&gt; fans call ed &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/jellyfishtributealbum"&gt;Sensory Lullabies&lt;/a&gt;.  It's a pretty cool CD of current bands doing Jellyfish songs.  So stay tuned for Jarvy's next Podcast.......all about guess who....you got it....Jellyfish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-7946900501716233264?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/R6-Re-pjW8I/AAAAAAAAADM/0V79bVKSIOc/s72-c/jellyfish_desktop.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Earl Greyhound Rocks!!!</title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2007/09/earl-greyhound-rocks.html</link><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Sun, 30 Sep 2007 11:05:49 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-7485975191141002358</guid><description>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/Rv_jIu3AiWI/AAAAAAAAACw/WKJ4E-WaGAo/s1600-h/EG1.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5116057440873384290" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 228px" height="238" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/Rv_jIu3AiWI/AAAAAAAAACw/WKJ4E-WaGAo/s400/EG1.jpg" width="303" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earl Greyhound Rocks!!! Check this band out.....I found them on MySpace and they floored me!&lt;br /&gt;The following is an excerpt frpm Spin:&lt;br /&gt;New York trio Earl Greyhound formed in 2002 when guitarist/vocalist Matt Whyte joined forces with bassist/vocalist Kamara Thomas to perform as a duo in New York and Los Angeles. After experimenting with a slew of drummers, including current Grizzly Bear drummer Chris Bear, the pair eventually brought on heavy-hitter Ricc Sheridan to round out their line-up. The band are releasing their debut album, Soft Targets, via Some Records.&lt;br /&gt;What's the Deal: With his guitars drenched in thick layers of fuzz, Whyte conjures up some seriously heavy riffs in the spirit of Led Zeppelin and T. Rex. The album kicks off with the supercharged "S.O.S," featuring Whyte's spacey vocals over a churning sea of distortion, and "Monkey," with its brain-bending time signature and deafening drumming, is eight minutes of aural ambush. But the band never forget the melodies, and even the break-up song ("It's Over") is a catchy, bouncy affair.&lt;br /&gt;Fun Fact: If the band ever decide to give up rocking for more reliable work, they can always return to their fast paced day jobs: "Kamara sold fish, Matt tended bar, and Ricc bided his time watching Mahavishnu and Buddy Rich VHS tapes," a source close to the band tells SPIN.com.

One of the driving forces behind this podcast, has been Jarvy's need to let the world know (especially the 40 to 50 year old Baby Boomers) that even though it appears as if there is nothing but pure shit for music in todays market place, if you do allitle digging (and digging is now so easy with a computor and an Internet Connection) you can find an amazing amount of great rock and roll being made...... and made by todays youth. Rock IS NOT dead.....it's just hiding in plain sight. So the cafe is turning you on to a few of Jarvy's new favs..... In this episode, he covers:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Answer ....great blues rockers from England&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Electric Mary .... Austraila's new version of a tried and true formula&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Hell n' Diesel ....... Sweden circa&gt; 1978&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The 1990's ....... Englands new pop rockers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Long Blondes ......Another English import....but with the correct influences...The Ramones, The Buzzcocks, and Velvets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;"&gt;He also starts the show with Danko Jones....My Baby Hates Me. Possibly one the all time great rock records. You've got to hear this one!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Enjoy!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-8594732101869017091?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://bp1.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/Rtniz6jTWyI/AAAAAAAAACo/lqp1N__APD0/s72-c/longblondesug6.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>WHITESTARR IS THE REAL THING!!</title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2007/07/whitestarr-is-real-thing.html</link><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Sun, 08 Jul 2007 08:01:20 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-8626433242679435743</guid><description>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RpAVDYWaBZI/AAAAAAAAACY/UZZ-7jq1mVU/s1600-h/Whitestarr-band-01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084587127121511826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RpAVDYWaBZI/AAAAAAAAACY/UZZ-7jq1mVU/s400/Whitestarr-band-01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Where the hell did these guys come from. I have heard the name "Whitestarr" quite a few times over the last 5 years....and usually connected to the fact that a couple of the band members have famous parents. That alone....usually throws up the red flags....and that is why I have not ever pursued finding out more about them. The second thing that comes to mind is I remember something about them being LA's most famous unsigned band.......so anyway....I somehow happened across this band in my web browsing and holy shit....these guys ROCK! And not only do they rock, they are concerned about all the right things....girls, girls, hot cars and having a good time....isn't that what rock was supposed to be about? So from what I understand, there is a reality show coming out about the band called "THE ROCK LIFE" ON VH1 AUGUST 6th. On their &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://myspace.com/whitestarr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;MySpace page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;, there is a tralier and it looks awesome! So I can't write this blog without mentioning that the lead singer is the first real rock and roll character I've seen in 20 years.....Cisco Adler is an amazing singer and front man, but more importantly.....he comes off as a normal guy....a really hard thing to pull off....as we all know, especially those of us who have played in rock bands..... the dreaded LSD (lead singer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;disease) is almost a given. So eventhough I said the famous parents thing was a red flag, I can't expect you..... not to want to know. So here is the heritage line... Cisco Adler, is the son of the legendary Lou (founder of Dunhill and Ode Records, producer of the Mamas &amp;amp; the Papas, Johnny Rivers, and Carole King). Their lead guitarist is Dickie Betts Jr., son of the Allman Brothers Band guitarist. And if that weren't enough, their drummer is Alex Orbison, son of the late, great Roy. Should be some talent there somewhere...huh?? Check them out!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Whitestarr ROCKS!!! jarvy 7-7-7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-8626433242679435743?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://bp1.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RpAVDYWaBZI/AAAAAAAAACY/UZZ-7jq1mVU/s72-c/Whitestarr-band-01.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>The Stooges luv the Cafe'  Show#3</title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2007/04/show3-stooges-luv-cafe.html</link><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Sun, 06 Apr 2008 12:29:47 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-5123679293603034473</guid><description>&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jarvyscafe.com/podcasts/JarvysCafe_2.mp3"&gt;Jarvys Cafe Podcast #&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:arial;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/JarvysCafe"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0);font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Subscribe to Jar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RlTrGFBp-XI/AAAAAAAAABg/mO5YsdHLlxA/s1600-h/young_stooges.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5067933970359515506" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 145px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 172px" height="140" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RlTrGFBp-XI/AAAAAAAAABg/mO5YsdHLlxA/s400/young_stooges.jpg" width="59" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0);font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/JarvysCafe"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;vys Cafe at Feedburner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RjPtJmAmb_I/AAAAAAAAABY/B68uDRWtgYE/s1600-h/stooges+copy.jpg"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show #3 is the show we've all been waiting for. Jarvy had been talking about a Stooges show back when the "cafe" was just an idea....(like it was a real long time ago, this IS only the 3rd show). None the less, The Stooges are the right band for this podcast, for they where the inspiration behind Jarvy's/Billy's love for rock and roll. if it was The MC5 that first captured his thoughts and the way he looked differently at the word at age 13, it was Iggy and The Stooges that first captured his heart and started him down the road of Debauchery and the rock and roll life. We will talk about Iggy's life story and how the Stooges started out, all the way through the Iggy Pop solo career and on to the amazing 30 year reunion.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-5123679293603034473?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RlTrGFBp-XI/AAAAAAAAABg/mO5YsdHLlxA/s72-c/young_stooges.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>The Ramones Stop by the Cafe'</title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2007/03/ramones-stop-by-cafe.html</link><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Sun, 06 Apr 2008 12:52:13 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-6616928111204983210</guid><description>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RmL8_VBp-YI/AAAAAAAAABo/werVZQAejJc/s1600-h/Ramones.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071894295278647682" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RmL8_VBp-YI/AAAAAAAAABo/werVZQAejJc/s400/Ramones.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jarvyscafe.com/podcasts/JarvysCafe_2.mp3"&gt;Jarvys Cafe Podcast #2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/JarvysCafe"&gt;Subscribe to Jarvys Cafe at Feedburner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jarvys second show is dedicated to one of rock's greatest bands. The Ramones! Jarvy provides his unique brand of rock history....regarding the band that has been awarded "the Godfathers of Punk Rock" moniker. We follow the band from it's humble beginnings in Forest Hills N.Y. to the sad ending with 3 of the 4 original members now play in rock and roll heaven. Jarvy covers all 15 albums and gives a little insight in to when and where the boys were in their career at the relase of each.

In fact it could be my first real memory as a child.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I have a lot stories from my older brother and sister about my childhood, but to actually say I remember anything from age 9 would probably be a (white) lie.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;(Why are they white lies and not black lies or red lies…..does that come from a middle class up-bringing?)&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Anyway….. back to my memory and the beginning of my obsession with miniature everything.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I went to a marine supply store, which was a store which sold boats and accessories for anything to do with boating.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;That is where a saw my first Sony TV.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;It was the 5 inch, model 5-303W.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I don’t actually remember the model number, I know this because I have been collecting these TV’s and buying them off EBAY.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;It was a technical marvel.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;There was no other TV even close to being that small in 1963.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;It also was the start of my love for anything Sony.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;So when Sony released its first handheld PC, the U50 was released in 2004, I was immediately infatuated and wanted one bad! But at $2200 and a touch-screen, but no keyboard, it was a little steep for my pocketbook.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The OQO model 01 came out about the same time and did have a slide out qwerty keyboard.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The OQO-01 was an amazing little computer, but again, at $2K plus, was it worth the money.&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;As technology marches forward, there now are 2 real choices regarding the new category called; Ultra Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC) &lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;They come from Sony and OQO, and if you are in the market for a true Windows (&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = st1 /&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Vista&lt;/st1:place&gt;) based computer that can truly be carried in your (Coat??) pocket (well maybe not your pocket, but certainly your pocketbook….especially after the money that’s removed to pay for one of these beauties), you should check out these babies. &lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/Re41sk0p0LI/AAAAAAAAABE/igyp-s8gZwc/s1600-h/02featuresimage.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039024072989200562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/Re41sk0p0LI/AAAAAAAAABE/igyp-s8gZwc/s400/02featuresimage.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though I have professed my love for Sony, in this case I am going to buy the OQO-02.

I have re-written it about 20 plus times and I finally feel as if I am getting it right. My new working title is "American Star". This was also the title of a rock opera I wrote with my band back in the late 70's. I had a great mentor and manager, who's name was Tom Conner. Tom had the idea to turn the rock opera into an Animated Film. We actually had a script and had it story boarded ......the whole movie. We just could never find the financial backing. So now in honor of Tom and my late friend Rick (who was the artist, who drew all the characters), I am naming my live action Rock Movie.....with the same title. Believe it or not....I did a search on the web and American Star has never been used as a theatrical release. I need to copy write it soon.....Especially since I have announced on my ever popular Blog. (I'm kidding, I do wish knew more about how to direct people to my blog)......There is something else that i have been doing a lot of thinking about.......The MAC vs. The PC. I actually started out as an APPLE guy. My first real computer (after my Atari 800) was a MAC SE. I loved that computer. But somehow along the way.....like most.....I turned to the PC. In the beginning it was a lot about "software" .....there just wasn't a lot of great software for the Apple platform back in the 70's. But now.......WOW...HOW CAN YOU NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH THE IMAC. What a marvel of technology. From the hardware all the way to the MAC operating system / OS X Tiger. I think it's time again.......Let me know what your thoughts are on the PC with the new Vista vs. IMAC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-1949588955825143368?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://bp1.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RmSz10wYYzI/AAAAAAAAACQ/417PMFCUnHM/s72-c/lunch.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title></title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2007/02/t-he-best-band-to-come-out-of-detroit.html</link><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Thu, 08 Feb 2007 20:25:23 PST</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-203451285476804056</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RcqPj7D_gSI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BQS4-gYHsrw/s1600-h/Lights.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RcqPj7D_gSI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BQS4-gYHsrw/s320/Lights.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028989781225210146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;THE BEST BAND TO COME FROM DETROIT ..IN THE LAST 20 YEARS HAS CALLED IT "QUITS"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fags Break-up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Y&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;es...it's true!

You would think it is easy...with all the stuff you find on the web. but for a guy who has never done much html or anything like it. it's not as easy as thay make sound.

Jarvy believes this project to be the most important thing he has ever done in his lifetime. Do you ever wish for a way out? Out of the daily grind of getting up every morning and going to the same old job, with the same old rush hour traffic, and the same old co-workers who say the same old thing every day of your shitty life? YOU DO?.....Well Jarvy wanted a way out too and buying a course from Carlton Sheets on "No Down Payment Real Estate" did not do the trick....all it did was give Carlton Sheets another $500 toward his way out.....and beleive me when I say he is so far out, you can't even see him! (or something like that)&lt;br /&gt;Jarvy does have have a plan......&lt;br /&gt;The Plan.&lt;br /&gt;Jarvy is writing the greatest rock and roll screenplay of all time. How many baby booomers are out there, who would love a movie about a kid from the early 70's who has a dream to become a Rockstar and then does fullfill the dream and becomes the worlds biggest Rock Star. This movie will be the "Rocky" of rock and roll movies......only better.&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned for previews and outlines of the movies plot. The working title is "1973"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jarvy 03-29-06&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24409197-114364547312488970?l=jarvyscafe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://bp3.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/RmSyZUwYYvI/AAAAAAAAABw/30G6JHtFeNA/s72-c/screenplay22.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></item><item><title></title><link>http://jarvyscafe.blogspot.com/2006/03/hello-and-welcome-to-jarvys-cafe.html</link><author>jarvyscafe@hotmail.com (Jarvy McZeus)</author><pubDate>Sun, 06 Apr 2008 12:42:47 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409197.post-114287418883764383</guid><description>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/R_knnmcon6I/AAAAAAAAADc/0ou7AEOjqyQ/s1600-h/motel_six%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186220007182868386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 232px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 144px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="193" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_aMHn37pnYdo/R_knnmcon6I/AAAAAAAAADc/0ou7AEOjqyQ/s400/motel_six%5B1%5D.jpg" width="252" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hello and welcome to Jarvys Cafe.
