• So here's a picture of Courtney Love with a turtle on top of her head (via).

As I'm typing this, foobar shuffles me "Miss World" by Hole. "Live Through This" was released 15 years ago, I'm old.
Apparently their bass player was called Kristen Pfaff and overdosed on heroin at 27.

• Aliens & Terminator 2 director James Cameron's latest project, Avatar, is in post-production.
  The internetz love sci-fi, not so sure if I will. Some movie stills.
  

• Fly to Brazil just to get ill, possibly.
• Seen Observe & Report, I laughed. "MY DICK IS BROWN, YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER". Up next: Inglorious Basterds.

• Google Wave
  

• One Eight Seven demo
  I don't know too much about this band. They were a short-lived deathmetal band from the H8000 area in Belgium around 1998-1999. Their singer was this small, cute, nice girl called Kathy 187 who was at pretty much all the H8000 shows at the time. I saw them once, at this show in Eeklo where on the day of the show they persuaded the organizer to let them do a short set. We'd only heard rumors about 187 and were curious what Kathy sounded like live... Well, we quickly learned she had a massive grunt, something we did not expect. Not too long after I picked up this demo, and I've not seen or heard 187 since. Members went on to other H8000 bands such as Edge Of Life and All My Sins. Anyways, this is a pretty decent demo, so check it out!

• Pepsi & Coca-Cola logo time line.
  
  

• The Mackenzie feat. Jessy - All I Need, will be featured on the next car mix cd. Night-inspired, nightly-listening only.
  Different versions exist though. Gotta make a choice.
  This guy had no problem choosing at all:"BEST Version. I listened to it for 10 hours non stop. SUPERB Song !!!!!!!"
  
  
  
  

• Garden State was a pretty cool movie.

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"

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.
