City List

I often find myself wondering this. I know it's pretty easily findable via simple google but it's interesting to peruse nonetheless. Check out NYC! Beating Tokyo. That's what I like to see...USA! USA! USA!

Why must you tease

2 Skinnee J's is getting back together, and playing in New York three days after I leave.

Beaverjuice

A Clockwork Orgy
The Deer Humper
Dick, Tracy?
Frosty the Blowman

edit:
Erectnophobia is real...

Retirement in Japan....

Yes, that's a 73 year old porn star. A dude no less.

William Shatner - Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds
Eddie Murphy - Party All the Time
and of course...
Leonard Nimoy - The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
Sorry I couldn't find any Sebastian Cabot... but if I could, the sing-off wouldn't even remotely be fair. Cabot. Hands down. Every time.

Smoking Ads

What do more doctors smoke?
Or the Flinstones... what do they smoke?
But it's healthier to smoke Chesterfields...

New Yorker

Yeah, I know we all know about it already and it's old news, but seriously... next time I give someone a "Hezbollah-style fist jab," I'm gonna tell everyone exactly what it means. Did these people not have childhoods at all?

Dr. Horrible

This is a pretty great idea, a mad scientist's blog... also musical. I enjoy it, anyway.

Really cool article....even for those of us who aren't sports crazy.

For All You Unfortunate Souls Outside Of The Greater NYC Area

You've been yearning for the power, the glory, and the raw exuberance that is Sublunar Minds live. Well now thanks to the miracle of digital cameras that record low quality video, your wish has been granted. Behold: SLUM at the Trash Bar:

Sealand Is Fun

We all know about it, but I thought we'd just like to gaze at a picture of it again. Just for fun.

SLM Site Updates

Complete with better players and a nifty random shuffle among all 17,000 songs. Well, at least it feels like that many. Sublunar Minds Music

Walkable Urbanism

Is important. Muy.

"There's No Land On The Water"

What to do with populations displaced by rising ocean levels? The Ocean Walker.

Music video

Viper's Frontier Psychiatrist video reminded me a bit of this old gem from Of Montreal. It was directed by The Brothers Chaps (creators of homestarrunner.com).

Alice in Wonderlands....on drugs

Very cool music video with an original remix of mostly samples assets from the film. Trippy and groovy.

Well, not always. Sometimes they're a little...well...too much.

But their press releases are always entertaining at least. Now one word:

Princeohead

Congratulations!

Our sincerest apologies.

Dean Kamen is back!

And his new project looks pretty rad to say the least.

Very interesting music video

I've been a fan of The Avalanches since I first heard their CD back in 2002. One my favorite tracks was Frontier Psychiatrist. I've never seen the music video until tonight- and it has changed my life forever. Curious? You bet your bottom you are!

By the way, the rest of the album is very good as well.

Enjoy!

I think my favorite part of this video (it is really hard to choose just one) is the random musical cue for the Robin. Did the video REALLY need that?

Hahahahaha!

Guns on Campus

Rats, we just missed the Empty Holster Protest, where students wear empty holsters to school to protest the fact that they can't carry guns! There's a bit of a legislative effort to fix that in many states, including my own:

"Oklahoma's bill passed the House but was shelved by the Senate in the face of massive opposition by university administrators, faculty and students. Every president of the state's 25 public colleges signed onto a resolution opposing the bill."

From another article:

"Oklahoma State University President Burns Hargis said Monday the bill would have allowed Timothy McVeigh, executed after being found guilty of the Oklahoma City bombing, to carry a concealed weapon on campus because he was a military veteran.University of Oklahoma President David Boren thumped a podium Monday, as he intoned, “Please, please, please,” defeat House Bill 2513.Boren said he would get down on his knees and beg the Legislature, if need be."

His music is very out there. The first track is called Dancing Speakers and it makes me wonder: what are these speakers dancing to?

Probably one of the worst productions I've ever heard...

How to Protest the Olympic Torch Relay

So you think China is evil, and want to protest the Olympics. But you don't want to leave home. Well, that isn't too much of a problem if the torch relay is going through your city, just grab that mother and put it out. failing that, attack it with a freaking fire extinguisher. Or just wait for the French, they'll put it out three times before the authorities just let it stay out and put it back on the bus.

Just follow this simple formula:

Don't worry, it's a cyclical function that repeats itself once every 5,700,000 years, so it shouldn't be too hard to just remember the pattern.
