¡Qué Lastima!
King Coffey, batterista dei Butthole Surfers, ha una seconda vita assai
illustre, come fondatore e direttore dell'etichetta Trance Syndicate e
come leader dei Drain. Con questo manipolo di terroristi sonori erige
barricate di suoni sgradevoli a ritmo infernale, nella gloriosa
tradizione inaugurata dai Red Crayola, facendo sfigurare non poco il
gruppo maggiore, in cui e` soltanto un umile gregario. I Drain, in
realta`, esistono da sempre, in quanto Coffey non aveva mai smesso di
suonare ogni tanto con un vecchio amico di Forth Worth, David McCreath.
Soltanto con la nascita della Trance il batterista (e adesso
sperimentatore elettronico) aveva avuto l'occasione di registrare la
loro musica, cominciando con il singolo Black Fist (Owen McMann dei
Cherubs al basso).

I'm starting a new rug. It's gonna be 8' x 8'. It'll be a solid field of middle grey. (...or 'gray' if you just wanna be contrarian) In the center it will say either "I suck." or "I hate myself." in just slightly darker grey.
I've decided pictures and words don't belong together.
Opinions?

Bear With Me Here
It's somewhat of a "work" read, but it would be a wonderful thing if I could tattoo the entire thing to many people's faces around my workplace.
I am dragged into meetings on a near-daily basis simply because people here cannot grasp the concept of email. I've evn had an email printed out, brought over, and read to me. Not only does it waste my time, but I oftentimes get to correct my boss's mistakes because he promises things we are unable to do because he NEVER FUCKING CHECKS HIS MAIL BEFORE SPEAKING AT ANY MEETING.
Sorry to rant about work, back to music and porn.

I get auto-email from Alternative Tentacles,
and the following is excerpted vebatim:
****Gilmore Girls' Line About DKs and Jello***
There is a TV show I'm told called the Gilmore Girls. The following dialog is from an episode from the show that recently aired. The title of the episode was :
Application Anxiety. To get clearance for the DK shirt they contacted Jello as well as East Bay Ray. Both agreed to it.
Here is the dialog:
[a boy walks up to Lane]
DAVE: Excuse me, Lane?
LANE: That's me.
DAVE: Okay, great, I'm Dave Rygalski.
LANE: Right, hi. You're a guitarist.
DAVE: Yeah.
LANE: But how'd you know I was me?
DAVE: The Dead Kennedys shirt was a tip off.
LANE: Good thinking. Hey, uh, isn't it a drag that Jello Biafra isn't singing for them anymore?
DAVE: Yeah, now their front-man's that kid from the Courtship of Eddie's Father.
LANE: Yeah, what's next - Urkel joining the Wu-Tang Clan?
DAVE: Or maybe Malcolm in the Middle fronting for the Butthole Surfers.
LANE: Some things are sacred.

I'm allergic to cats
Boon was with me from college to a few years ago. He was a big fat maine coon cat. He was named after D. Boon, because I got him just after D. died. He was my best buddy in the world for a long time. I was leaving for work one day when I noticed him in the driveway bleeding from his mouth and just looking like shit.
I took him to the vet where they discovered a tumor in his mouth. We did several rounds of treatments on him. We 'debulked' (horrible word) him twice and gave him radiation. He seemed to get better each time, but the intervals between visits got shorter and shorter.
Finally, the doctor (who was a wonderfully compassionate person) told me it was time to let him go.
Everyone told me that animals let you know when they're ready to die.
Everyone lies.
I took Boon for his last ride because I couldn't stand to see him like that anymore. Henry was just a baby at the time and Boon was leaving these hideous trails of bloody slime throughout the house. It was sad and horrifying. But what haunts me to this day is that I think I decided to put him to sleep because he made me think of cancer and dying, and I don't like to think of cancer and dying.
When I laid him on the vet table and held him really close and tight he fought hard to escape. He knew what was coming and he wasn't ready for it. He wanted to stay, but I had decided it was time for him to go. It took a few tries for the vet to find a vein and I think what finally allowed Boon to die wasn't that he was ready to die, it was that he saw that I was ready for him to go.
Boon was the last cat I wasn't allergic too.
His ashes came back to me in a box that Tracey brought over a few weeks ago. A box of things she didn't want around anymore. For the first time since he died I opened it and there was a ziplock bag with his ashes and a stamped mold of his front paw. I looked at the ashes and I could see his teeth. Same teeth he used to bite me with. Good old Boon.

Super hero in a black suit
This is the man who is trying to save the public domain from corporate greed.
As important as the discussions about the RIAA are, this fight is just as, if not more important. If the fight over music on the Internet is drifting into a fight about personal rights versus corporate rights, but Eldred v. Ashcroft is about cultural and societal rights v. corporate rights.
Here's some background, for those not familiar:
The threat that Eric Eldred saw, and the basis of his suit, is that the never-ending string of copyright extensions is going to effectively kill the growth of the public domain to save corporate profits, profits which could not have been gained without the benefit of a flourishing public domain to begin with.
Eric Eldred rocks.

"There is a good chance I will be getting a pair of World Series tickets for games 4 & 5 at Pac Bell. I will know for sure on Thursday. The seats are in upper reserved - in the high 320s or low 330s."
If I able able to acquire these tickets I would like to barter them for healthy sperm.

Terrastock
I spent the weekend in Boston at Terrastock.
I saw lots of great bands (check out my photos).
It was a psych fest - which is really a pretty useless term, since the music ranged from pop to acoustic hippie jams to ambient drones to Marshall stack freak outs.
Best Band: Kinski. Sort of like a muscular Sonic Youth. Noisy, with a lot of effects, but incredibly tight arrangements almost reminding me of Helmet at times (without the yelling). Just astounding live. These guys will be popular next year.
Major Stars were also great. Hawkwind style psych that was just perfect. I cheered the loudest for them.
Seeing Sonic Youth in a club was also pretty great (they played the new album, in the lp sequence).
One thing missing at a psych festival: drugs. Basically it was a lot of long hairs drinking beers. I didn't even smell marijuana for christ's sake.

Predilections and Peccadillos
Okay, so I'm going through the site logs because we've been getting so many comments from strangers over the last couple of days. (Hi, new guests! Glad to see you!) I was just curious if there was one thing that had guided them all here.
In the list of search queries that people used to find this site, this one stuck out:
pictures schoolgirl getting rectal check (This link will run the search on Google.)
I thought to myself "What page has that string of words on it? And where do we show up in the results?" Well, if you've clicked on the link by now, you'll know that our little site is number 10 on the list of results returned by Google for that phrase, thanks to Mike's efforts here.
Okay, here's where it gets funny. When you run the search as it's typed above, we come up number 10. But it's not Mike's individual post that's linked from the results. It's the monthly archive for July, which also happens to contain this post!
So is it possible that our little friend nayab, artiste of the wicked zinger, actually found our site by looking for pictures of schoolgirls getting rectal exams?
To quote the post on which nayab commented:
"HAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR HAR HAR HAR HAR HARRRRR!!!!!!!!"

I know that zip codes are pretty big, but it's kind of funny how badly this service describes Katie and me and five out of eight of our immediate neighbors. Of course it does describe some people on our block very well.
Is 3 for 9 a good average for demographics?
How well does it peg you?

Song in Today's Head
Sadly, I know nothing about classical music. I do, however, enjoy listening to Klaus Nomi..
On his "best of" cd their is the following song which I totally love, called on his record, The Cold Song:
What power art thou, who from below
Hast made me rise unwillingly and slow
From beds of everlasting snow?
See´st thou not how stiff and wondrous old
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold,
I can scarcely move or draw my breath?
Let me, let me freeze again to death.
-
According to the internet, this is by composer Henry Purcell (one site also credits J. Dryden), but I can't find info on the original location in Purcell's works this appears, so's I can trot down to the library and know what im looking for.
Any knowers?
ps: Here's a good
Klaus Nomi
