this is rock.

yeah whatever

Yes please

Got my ticket to see TVOTR play Musicfest in September. I hope Tunde knows what's in store for him. And by that I mean a crazy, lovesick redhead who won't take no for an answer.

the pretentious illiterate

Radar has a fascinating interview with ex Throbbing Gristle musician Genesis P'-Orridge. Ever heard the term 'pandrogeny?' Me neither. I can't think of anyone I could fall in love with so desperately that I would start having plastic surgery to look like them. But I've yet to meet Zach Galifianakis. And I'm already naturally hairy, so...

Mannequin was filmed at Woolworth's

Yeah dude, I'm not gonna lie. I love Ween. And I REALLY love this song as a perfect summer backdrop to me daydreaming about all the aspects of my life I wish would change.

The perfect song

So it's like Primus meets Goo Goo Dolls, a little Medeski, Martin & Wood, Dan Fogelberg, throw in Barbara Streisand, cross with Burt Bacharach... Ringo Starr?

Electromagnetic dick

I wanted to give away my materials,” Badu told Wired magazine, seen here with daughter Puma Rose.

“It’s about sharing, and that’s why I like this system.”

Coming out in July, Return of the Ankh will be accompanied by USB sticks which will include all kinds of little extras like footage of concerts, commentary on the recording process and “me in a bathtub with Flavor Flav.”

Uh, okay.

Erykah also hinted at a full-length release titled Lowdown Loretta Brown (an alias she has used over the years) saying, “I don’t want to introduce too much of that right now. I don’t want Gwen Stefani stealing my shit.”

I love a good revenge sequence

Watched Death and the Maiden for the first time in a few years. Holy shit is Sigourney Weaver ever a badass. Any woman who calmly states 'shut up bitch,' before stuffing her panties into the mouth of her presumed rapist that she's tied to a chair wins my love and respect.  Sadly there are new parallels to be gleaned from the movie of a post 9/11, Gitmo America and the 'unnamed fascist South American country' striving for democracy used as the cinematic backdrop. Can't wait till Bush the neocon torturer is out of office and just a faint memory.

I shoulda asked for the digits

Yesterday on the way to the bus stop a dirty man approached me. Ignoring the fact that I had on headphones he proceeded to talk to me.

Him: Can I ask you a question?

Me: (groaning internally) Eghhh... I guess

Him: Do I have something on my ass?

Me: What?

Him: Do I have something on my ass? I just got out of a dumpster.
