About raptnrent: I got the name from my keys - R Apt and R Ent for the back door to my apartment and the back door to the house. I liked that they were also words: Rapt, meaning enthralled, riveted, captivated, and Rent, meaning torn asunder, violently wrenched. I thought it made for an interesting juxtaposition, open to all kinds of interpretations.

Teen angst platform
My feeble attempt at dramatic reading. I know I need to work on using my voice better. It doesn’t help that I can’t stand listening to it. You can take that as a warning. I thought I’d try to do … Continue reading
The contest somebody could win
I saw the assignment name, the contest nobody could win, and took it as a challenge. Could I find bits that are reasonably recognizable? I don’t think I was quite up to it though – the D and S are … Continue reading

Where’d that guy come from?
One of my musical heroes is the Godfather of Soul himself, Mr. James Brown. Being a colorful character given to dramatic poses, I thought he’d be perfect for this assignment. So I found this picture, which includes his hairdresser as … Continue reading
Four icon concert
The Rolling Stones’ US tour of 1969 culminated in a free concert in the San Francisco area. Being free, the concert drew a larger crowd than anticipated. The Hell’s Angels were used as security. They beat up a number of … Continue reading
At the Mountains of Madness
I found this through a google image search. Since it was posted on a discussion forum, I was able to contact the creator (stuart) for permission to molest his work. I’m not sure if this movie project is still underway, … Continue reading
the survival rate for everyone drops to zero
Interesting how this assignment works. You put together three random elements to make a unified thing – an album cover. The Wikipedia link to me to a page titled Laws of infernal dynamics, which is not the best band name, … Continue reading
