"Lightning Fingers" Caffrey

Recently I've been watching my fair share of YouTube videos, and I've come across a phenomena that you may find interesting. There are a lot of guitar players out there that want to show off their chops. However, they are not quite ready to show their faces. Case in point, Matt "Lightning Fingers" Caffrey. Lightning Fingers is one of my newest Twisted Friends. He is a huge fan of Tool, South Park and profanity. He was the first to show me Tourette's Guy and My New Haircut on YouTube and I haven't turned back. All in all, he's good people. But when he showed me his video, I had to ask, "Why no face? Does Lightning Fingers make rock faces the likes too awesome for the world to gaze upon?" I guess we'll never know. Enjoy!

P.S. There is a Part 2.

The Good News and...

I know I've been neglecting Twistedjim.com lately. But there's a good reason. I swear. I've been working really hard on (ha, I said 'hard on') The Last Alien. Unfortunately, that's the bad news... which you are getting first. The Last Alien has a very slight chance of being released this year. I know, I promised. But there's something wrong with it. The characters have all gotten lazy and have decided not to tell the story. Really, blame Casper Edwards, the bastards.

I know some of you are saying The Last Alien doesn't really exist. Right, Dave? But it does. I promise you this is not like the girlfriend I had in high school from Utah. Alien is a real thing and you will have it in your hands as soon as I get my shit together.

Wait... WAIT! There is good news. There will be at least one, and most likely two Jim Dayton books this year. I have been working on a project with Tyson for the better part of a year and it is almost finished. I could say more, but that would spoil the surprise. The other book is one that I announced nearly three years ago. That's right, Bar Codes and Bloodstains may be released as early as August 1.
