Chasing honesty 20:47

These animal kind of vulture chicks look way cuter than the human kind.


Bat babies


Goonch catfish. Takes guts to hold a creature like that.
Takes even more guts to keep your feet in the fucking water!

The comfort of my golf shirt 16:36

My bad taste in comedy and even sketchier taste in music and inevitably lead to geek punk rock heroes Nerf Herder.
Songs about video games, candy and how to meet girls = A+++.
They make up for the silliness by sharing (ex-)members with Ten Foot Pole, The Rentals and a spot on a Jawbreaker tribute compilation ("Chesterfield King").
Apparently, singer Parry Gripp has some solo stuff going on: minisongs, jingles, vocoder etc. Makes me think of Atom & His Package. Will post a link later.



"I'm not the one you dream about
And I'm not the one you can't live without
I'm not the one who you wanna see
I'm not the one who you want to be seen with
And when you're tired of all the jerks
And you're tired of all the work
And you're tired of being hurt
You will long for the comfort of my golf shirt

I'm not the one who was an old time punk rocker
I was listening to Rush and trying to feather my hair back
When all that stuff went down
I'm not the one who was in a high school hardcore band
I sat in my room scoring with Ms. Pac-Man

And when you're tired of all the jerks
And you're tired of all the work
And you're tired of being hurt
You will long for the comfort of my golf shirt
No tats, no piercings, no hats, no grunge beard baby, yeah"

Video ingredients: Michael Jackson + pie + Aaron Carter + Jimmy Eat World.


I saw a guy with a "I'M MUSLIM, DON'T PANIC" shirt this week.

"Get Better" is still incredible. Wish I ordered 10 more copies to slip into peoples bags/backpacks.
Or yell "IF YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE THE BEAUTY IN THIS ALBUM, YOU'RE A FOOL" in their face.

Laughable 00:55

Michael Jackson arcade hall

 



The road:
- Last week: a black guy moonwalking on the highway (!) next to his broken down vehicle, I kid you not.
- Today: some dude throwing stuff out of his window at the car behind him (140kmph on the highway). Among the objects: a lighter, a plastic bottle and a newspaper. Pretty wild.
- Yesterday: a dead fox + a guy trying to dig out his car (off-road by highway exit miss).

Car tunes: Pennywise, Gameface
iPod/foobar tunes: Sinners & Saints, Latterman, Amusement Parks On Fire, Songs: Ohia.

Rise & Fall is in your face.

Although you're dead 20:41

8 years ago Flesh & Bones (Regi/Wout/Birgit) released Rigor Mortis (I Love You).
Without a doubt one of my top 3 Belgian dance tracks.
Minimalistic lyrics about death, love and loss.
Beats and synths sound like the night, the road and despair.
What else do you need?

Almost forgot to mention the song has a crucial role in the awesome movie Steve+Sky.

Apparently there is a "suicide remix" of the song, fascinating.

• Ended up at a Laura Lynn in-store gig today. Estimated crowd: 60-80 fans.

95% of the people watching was waving their arms or filming or both.
Finding myself at 5m from the national schlager-queen was weird.

I stayed until she looked straight into my eyes,
then took off to the cd/dvd division where I picked up a new Enema Of The State copy.

• Got elektrocuted in the back. Thought my finger was gonna fall off + heart nearly beating out of my chest. Lolz.
• I'm not a 2manydjs fan but the 15 minutes of their Rock Werchter 2009 set I've heard on the radio sounded like a fxcking party. The Gossip/Bonkers/MGMT/Chemical Brothers/...
• Federer>everyone. The guy is a handful of days younger than me and a handful of millions richer. He won 15 grand slam tournaments, I write silly blog posts past midnight.

Missed out on Millennium, won't miss Transformers 2.
I like Dexter (ps: call me, Debra).

I'm spending the heatwave sweating through the day in a geek- & CRT-filled class room. Caffeine, cheese sandwiches, PowerShell and PDC emulators.
