Here, let me help you.

"Smooth Criminal" arranged for strings.
And I'll be damned if it doesn't work.

I start a new job tomorrow. I've promised everyone no angry rants before Monday, at the very least.

I'm Not Dead, I'm In Portland

Gonna be in Portland and Vancouver for 2 weeks, biking and sampling as much beer as my tiny liver will allow. Also going to see D and Rads in the flesh, finally. Anywho, be good, board.

Oh, Portland. I'd love to go back. Have fun!

Kyle, I'm assuming you will be taking a train to Vancouver?? (I know you do that a lot back home) If so, with the bridge collapse you will be a lot better off than the suckers in their cars....unless, that is, you are riding with Dana up there.

At any rate, have fun!

That sounds like a great time. Always neat to hear ob's meeting up.

For some reason I think of Rads rubber sliding up in one of these:



And then saying:
Hey kid, hop the fuck in. We got places to go.


then off you all go blaring some kick ass tunes


you'll go here drinking
and there eating
hanging out at cool spots
after all the fun

Rads says good times, see ya 'round kid

The reality:


We can take my car if we have to...




...And that hipster bar is overpriced. I know a better place...




Hungry? I'm pretty sure there were some Doritos in here yesterday...




And then we'd settle down for some good conversation...

Wait... you like Rush?

Have fun. Looks like it will probably rain every day, but you can still drink a lot of beer inside.

I've been listening to Chance the Rapper, like you'll be forced to within a year or two but I find his R&B parts to be too mousey for my tastes. He's onlt like 18 though so I'll asume that no one will make a website based on his retarded mousey vocals. Plus he has an odd obsession with psychoactives. I'm sending im an email right now on how to spell the word "boner" and why you shouldn't really bring it up.

I almost used that same pic

I'm not sure why, but that car cracks me the fuck up...

Reminds that a couple of weeks I go I saw a fairly nice Mini van on the interstate with both sliding doors wide open. A little disconcerting to pull up beside a van at 70MPH and look through it at the car two lanes over. I tried to get a picture but had no success.

Over the top ridiculous. NSFW.

Eric Wareheim's music videos are the best.

some 7" found at a record fair on Monday



from their infamous 1975 season








Why So Pale & Wan

I was aware of the Roger Glover album with (Love Is All) but I never knew this 7" even existed!

the only Twickenham streaker to make a Christmas single










John Peel's favourite Scottish poet released this in 1961

Threw this video together with some old public domain / stock footage.

Nicely done! Especially the parts where you seamlessly and organically managed to sync up "waking up" and "standing ovation."

JESUS! WTF??

Thanks, man!

I can understand how that poor bastard feels. That stuff was still legal in NC when I was in college, maybe it still is, and my friends and I went through a phase for a two or three weeks were we would do it. One of the least fun experiences of my life. I saw several people take one hit and then lose all ability to stand up, or function. When I did it, it made everyone look like cardboard cutouts, and I fell backwards in my chair and couldn't move for what I was told to be like 15 minutes. We called it the devil's handshake.

I didn't see this before. Nice work.

I told Rads this, but as we were biking up to the lunch place, there was a big fat old dude out front with a Beatles shirt on and a braided beard down his chest, and I was gonna take a picture of him for a "Wow Rads looks different than I pictured" post but I wasn't quick enough with the camera.
