MindsiMedia Third Eye For The Human Race
Hello my name is Mike Beyer and welcome to MindsiMedia my Internet broadcasting company/experiment that has been incubating for the past two years. We began as a web site for my collection of neon sign photographs. I have taken hundreds of them over the years and wanted to share them. The neon pictures were just the tip of the iceberg because I have always been fascinated by images. All kinds of images, pictures, photos in the newspaper, images in the movies and on tv. Over the years I've been a photographer, film maker, video producer and collage artist. During the 1980's I videotaped fashion shows, concerts and other special events for the Limelight Club in Chicago.
I also love music all kinds even the genres I'm not to fond there is stuff I enjoy. Even opera. For years I had the good fortune to work for one of the true legends of the Chicago music scene Val of Val's Halla records. In fact as a young employee of Capitol records she was involved in the destruction of the infamous Beatles "butcher" cover. The highlight of my time there was converting an unused bathroom into an Elvis shire complete with fountain. We has a lot of fun with it and got a lot of publicity. One year they came out from channel 2 news for a live report on his birthday. And there was segment about the shrine on Wild Chicago that was rerun a number of times.
Then there was my career as a tone deaf rock and roll musician. I'm not trying to knock the rock or anything just confessing my shortcomings. Capitan Zero and the Radioactive Lovers were around for awhile in the late 70's very much underground. I was the singer and wrote songs like "Keep On Drinking" & “Summertime”. Then at the end of the 80's on flailed at the guitar for the Atomic Fireballs a group that had more egos than one stage could handle. I've posted some videos of us playing live on our You Tube station.
So what we have here is a whole bunch of stuff. In the MindsiMedia section you'll find music, art things that catch my eye, ear or sense of the absurd. There is also a like to our Pandora music stations. If you don't know about Pandora and like music it's well worth checking out. It's Internet radio you program yourself. There are links to 1Future21 and PeaceThroughCourage two sites that look at some of the problems America faces how we got there and possible solutions. We also have ChicagoHarleyWorld a site that can help you save money on your motorcycle parts and other Harley items. Our newest station is OakParkVideo where we offer little video slices of Chicago's western suburbs.
