I Think I Hate This
Fatboy Slim remixed tha Go-Go's "Our Lips Are Sealed".
I don't hate that. I like a lot of Fatboy Slim stuff. His first album was pretty cool.
Oliver Gondry "remixed" the video to include modern girls riding along with the Go-Go's.
I don't hate that. The video itself is really interesting. Sort of like that Deep Space Nine episode where the crew is injected into the TOS epsiode "The Trouble with Tribbles".
It's a Nordstrom commercial.
Yeah, that's the part I hate. Generally, I don't mind when rock songs are used in commercials. Especially stuff that wasn't a huge hit back in the day. Those people have kids in college now. They could use a paycheck.
But, there is just something unseemly about this.

Reward
I've been going out of my way to be generally nicer lately. No more flipping off little, old ladies in White Castles and the like.
After the Magnetic Field Katrina benefit a few weeks back, I wasWASTED. I stumbled home and along the way I lost three CDs I got athe gig. One I bought from Bazooka Joe, one I won and the other wasthe Von Ghouls disc they recorded at The Skoof Sound Factory. I was bummed.
Saturday I was running around doing errands in Manhattan and while onthe subway a little old Asian lady came up to me to ask directions. I'm fairly certain it was because I was wearing a Superman t-shirt. Anyway, she didn't speak a word of English besides "Six" and washolding a piece of paper that said "South Ferry" on it. I took her from the N&R station over to the the 6 train and gave herwhat little I could in the way of instructions and sent her on herway.
Everything took longer than I expected and I was rushing home at 5:45to meet up with Larry and go BACK into the city for my birthdaydinner. I grabbed a cab from the PATH station back to my house.
Whenwe got to my door, the cabbie mentioned that I had been in his cab afew weeks earlier, very drunk (he did the glass tipping pantomime) and asked if I had a lost a CD. Turns out he had found all the CDs and kept them in his glovecompartment, and gave them back to me.
How cool is that?

Yeah, but the part they left out is that "Kal-El" is Superman's Kryptonian name. What a DOUCHE. Does he consider for one secondthat this kid is going to get the CRAP beat out of him when he get'sto school?

Puking Puppy
Angus was up from around 2:30 until almost 4 am puking last night. Thankfully, most of it on the floor and not on my carpets. Poor guy.
I was *this* close to kicking out in the backyard for the night after the second hurl, but it was too cold out. I did my best to clean up, but it still smelled pretty bad in the pad this morning.
I knew he was feeling better when he drank his entire bowl of water at 4am. His license banging against the metal bowl the entire time...

Found Cassette
Some guy moved out of an apartment in my neighborhood yesterday and left a bunch of books and stuff on the sidewalk. I snagged one of his high school yearbooks (I dunno why, figure I can use if for something some day), a few books and one loose, unmarked TKD cassette.
I put the tape in today during one of the extended Stern commercial breaks on my way to work. My guess was it was going to be some Pearl Jam type crap (I deduced from his books, yearbook and other garbage he was probably in his late 20s/early 30s).
To my surprise, it was Ramones Mania! The first tune was Indian Giver. Ha! How about that?
The thought did cross my mind that there might be live audio on the tape and that it would be a clue to a murder. I've been watching to many L&O reruns...

Ain't That A Kick In The Head
Last Saturday Night I was at Maxwells to see my friends the Demands and the A-Bones reunion. Shows like these are alot of fun, not just cause of the bands, but because it brings out a lot of people I have not seen in a long time.
They also suck, cause they bring out a lot of people I have not seen in a long time.
My bandmate, Larry, drove over and we got there in time for dinner. The staff were nice enough to place us next to some friends of ours, Annie, her husband Andy and her brother Arndt. Annie was very complimentary cause she'd come out the week before to see the Subway Surfers big Maxwells debut and was saying how impressed she was with our guitarist and my singing (as she's known me for about 10 years and had never heard me sing). Arndt, her brother, was also saying how he heard we were good, cause he had not made it out that night.
Arndt used to be in Sawney Bean with Larry and original Surfers were comprised of the me, the SB rhythm section and a new guitarist. These days Larry is the only remaining link to the SB days. I spoke to Arndt at Maxwells a few years ago and he was under the misconception that the Subway Surfers "stole [his] band" when in reality Sawney Bean had been broken up for at least a year when we started.
Anyway, even if he wasn't a recreational drug abuser, Arndt would still be a mental midget and emotionally stunted. And to top it off, he tends to drink to excess and mix all sorts of bad stuff. Last time I'd seen him at Maxells he passed out at my feet while ordering another drink, and they had to call the paramedics.
Yeah, I hope my mom doesn't read this and find out about the folks I hang out with.
Long story short, I'm talking to another dude on the risers on the side of the room, and Arndt comes up and kicks me in the balls, cause he thought it would be funny.
As men know, there is a short lull in between the time you get and the wave of PAIN that hits you. In that time, I just stared at him, slackjawed and asked "Whhhhhy????"
Now, I don't lose my temper that often, so I am really bad at it when I do. I knocked his beer out of his hand, smacked the back of his head and was THIS close to breaking his glasses in half, when I regained composure, cause I knew if I broke his glasses we'd end up fighting and both get kicked out. I was betting that he has retard strength, too, and I would likely lose.
Instead he starting apologizing and talking a mile a minute about "itdidntgothewayithoughtitwouldsorrysorrysorry". I made him buy me more beer and shots of Jameson. He ordered a shot for himself. I took it away from him and drank it. "None for you!" and ordered him out of the room. I sat on the bar stool with a cold beer against my nuts for the next 15 minutes.
I never got an adequate explanation of how he thought kicking me in the nuts was going end in such a way that I would think it was funny. However, do you think it might have something to do with the fact that my band played Maxwells last week, something he could NEVER do? Hmmm...could be.
Yeah, another "friend" to add to the list of people that are dead to me. That's two this year.
On the positive side, I figure if I'm careful, it's probably going to be at least another 10 years before I get kicked in the nuts again.

I Just Gave An Old Lady The Finger
I'm cleaning out my Saved folder in my email today. Here's a story I posted to a Yahoo Group my friends and I have, in January 04. The saddest part of the story is that the White Castle isn't there any more.
Today I went to the White Castle by the Empire State Building for lunch. Being one of five people who actually showed up at work today, I figured I deserved a treat.
As I'm finishing my meal while reading a couple comic books, I cough and bring up some mucous. I'll spare you the details, but I figured the cheap napkins they have at WC would not do the job and deside use an empty White Castle box to contain my expectorent.
After doing so, I go back to reading my comic. I hear a voice near my saying, "That's nasty. Oooh, that's nasty what you done. You shouldn't do that."
It takes me a few seconds and I realize that the woman two tables over is talking to me. I glance over and see one of those old bitties that you see in the city, she's so old you can't really tell if she's black or white any more.
Against my better judgement, I look at her and ask, "What?"
"That's nasty what you did. You shouldn't do that."
Instead of telling her to go to hell, or ignoring her, I replied, "Well, what should I have done?"
"You should use a napkin."
"Well, they are both paper containers. What difference does it make?"
"A nice young man like you, you shouldn't do that. It's gross."
I'm pretty confused at this point. I'm torn between politely engaging her in determining the proper parameters of gobbing in public and asking her why the fuck she's watching me.
"You should not do that. But you probably have a cold. You should use a napkin. Next time."
"Is that what I should do? That's what you think?" I say without any malice as I collect my trash and get up to leave.
"Yes, that's the right thing to do. The other way is nasty."
"Uh-huh"
So I toss my trash, and walk out. She's sitting in the window so I pass her as I leave and walk up the street. She kind of smiles and gives me a nod and I look straight at her and give her the finger.
Fuck you crazy old lady. Mind your own fucking business. Someday somebody is going beat your ass.

The World's Most Unfortunate Star Trek Prop
I love my DVR (aka Tivo). For an extra $10 a month, my cable company gives me a unit that allows me to record a show whenever it's on. Great for stuff like TV Funhouse, Duckman and other shows that are rerun late at night. I'd never remember to put a tape in, set up the VCR and leave the cable box on the right channel. With DVR, I just leave the box on at night, and in the morning there are a few more shows added to my collection.
It's great for fast forwading, rewinding live TV and provides a fantastic picture when you pause the recording. A picture so good, I can use my digital camera to capture images from TV shows.
Case in point, from a "Star Trek" ep I recorded last week, featuring Captain Kirk holding the most unfortunately shaped Star Trek prop ever...

Drinking Milestones
I thought the list posted on Modern Drunkard was good, but a little too romantic/Hemingway-esque for real people. Make your best friend the perfect martini? When my best friend from high school is in town, I make sure to have a couple of sixers on ice when he get's here. That's it.
Top Twenty Drinking Milestones
1. Drink from a visible alcoholic beverage on the street
(in a city where it's illegal, of course)
2. Receive more than three bottles of booze for your birthday
(six packs of beer count as 1 bottle)
3. Own a flask and use it.
4. Sneak liquor into an event in something OTHER than a flask
(your tummy does not count)
5. Knowingly bought drinks for a minor.
6. Get a drink thrown in your face.
7. Have the bartender pour liquor from the bottle directly into your mouth
8. Gone out of your way to go to a bar because a bartender you know works there now. (Give yourself 1 extra point for every river you crossed to get there)
9. Have a bartender’s email address/home phone number.
(Folks who became bartenders after you were already friends with them
don’t count)
10. Date a bartender from a bar you frequent.
11. Nail a bartender from a bar you are visiting for the first time.
(Bonus: 2 points)
12. Attend the closing night of a bar
13. Win an award or contest for your drinking
14. Be visibly drunk enough to be ejected from a bar, sports venue or bowling alley.
15. Be visibly drunk enough to be denied entry to a bar.
16. Thrown up and kept drinking.
17. Thrown up in or on a moving car.
18. Thrown up while riding in between cars on the subway.
19. Fall down from drinking.
20. Fall asleep in public after drinking

Star Wars Galaxies
The new commercial for the "Star Wars Galaxies" game pushes the idea that you can log on at anytime during the day and there is something going. Looks like a galaxy populated by fat geeks with goatees.
And before you get up in my face about this, I saw the commercial during a rerun of "Star Trek: Deep Space 9".

The Next Shag
Remember the name Pieter M. Dorrenboom. He's going to be big soon. I discovered his art on the Dutch International Garage Festival flyer.
I'm a big fan of his industrial/cartoon style .
According to Pieter he's going online with his own website with his artwork later this year. Check back here for updates.

Spam Spam Spam
I decided to run a little experiment this week. On Thursday morning, after logging into my primary email account and replying to last nights messages, I cleared my BULK folder. For non-Yahoo users, the BULK folder is where unwanted emails are filtered to, before being deleted. Unwanted emails are more commonly known as SPAM.
Anyway, it's been five days without manually emptying my Bulk folder and I currently have 554 emails in that folder. It doesn't take genius to figure out that I am getting over 100 unwanted emails a DAY. Most of them are, naturally, sexual in nature. Some mortgage offers, debt consolidation, games, and RAZOR cell phones, but mostly sex.
Chicks masturbating on their webcams, well yes, I can see why I am being sent those offers. Milfs? Strippers? Hot Asians? OK, I can imagine why they are sending that sort of material to me.
What I can't understand is where the folks who produce animal porn, fat chick porn, she male porn, and cartoon porn keep getting my address!!! And really, how effective is this sort of marketing in this day and age? Between search engines, blogs, message boards, MySpace and file sharing programs, how many people actually follow up on offers they get via spammed email?
If I wanted to find porn to satisfy my kinks, I can find whatever I want in a few keystrokes. And even if I was following up on the offers coming into my Inbox, I get over 100 a day! I wouldn't have the time to follow-up on them, even if wanted to!!!
And just so you know, while I wrote this piece, I got two more spam emails.

Separated at Birth???
Phil Spector in court on Monday.
Hair Bear and the rest of the gang from the Wonderland Zoo.
UPDATED:
Anyone catch E!'s "The Soup" this weekend? They used this joke and used the SAME picture as I did. I only mention it cause some little man on filter site got pissed that I "self linked" this post to the site. I apologized for breaking the rules, but would not back down on the fact it was original and funny. It was nice to be vindicated by seeing a joke I came up with a last week show up on TV this weekend. Now, I'm not saying "The Soup" ripped me off. I'm just saying the joke we both came up with was TV worthy.

Wreckless Me
Best line from when I saw Wreckless Eric a few months back:
He was apologizing for all the bad music that came out of England in
the 80s and people were shouting out names of groups and he was
letting off zingers about them. Then someone shouted out "STING", to
which he replied:
"Oh Sting, where is thy death?"
Genius.

Ever wonder what would of happened if horror punk legends The Misfits
were formed in 1962? Probably not, but the result might have sounded
just like The Crimson Ghosts. Picture hearing all your favorite

Woman accused of holding sex-and-drug parties with teenage boys
By: Associated Press
ARVADA, Colo. -- A 40-year-old woman held sex and drug parties with teenage boys, telling police she wanted to be a "cool mom," authorities say. Sylvia Johnson allegedly provided marijuana, methamphetamine and alcohol to eight boys at parties she hosted at her suburban Denver home in 2003 and 2004. According to court papers, she admitted having sex with five of the boys.
One of the boys told his mother, and Johnson was arrested in December and charged with offenses including sexual assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
According to court papers, Johnson told investigators she was not popular in high school and had finally started "feeling like one of the group."
"She described herself as a 'cool mom'," police said.

Pentagon reveals rejected chemical weapons
The Pentagon considered developing a host of non-lethal chemical
weapons that would disrupt discipline and morale among enemy troops,
newly declassified documents reveal.
Most bizarre among the plans was one for the development of an
"aphrodisiac" chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually
irresistible to each other. Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour
among troops would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal"
blow to morale, the proposal says.
Don't believe me?

Stripping Is Career Choice
Students Told Stripping Is Career Choice
By BILEN MESFIN, Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO - School officials in Palo Alto are reconsidering their
use of a popular speaker for an annual career day after he advised
middle school students that they could earn a good living as strip
dancers.
William Fried told eighth-graders at Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle
School that stripping and exotic dancing could be lucrative career
moves for girls, offering as much as $250,000 or more per year,
depending on their bust size.
"It's sick, but it's true," Fried, president of Foster City's
Precision Selling, a management consulting firm, told The Associated
Press. "The truth of the matter is you can earn a tremendous amount
of money as an exotic dancer, if that's your desire."
The school has asked Fried to give his 55-minute presentation, "The
Secret of a Happy Life," for the past three years.

Food Coma
I'm currently in a food coma. Mopar Larry took me to the Merchant in JC for dinner after band practice tonight. It was payback for all the work I'd done promoting the band and our new EP.
As usual, I had the hanger steak and asparagus. It was awesome.
Kudos to Mr. Cutlets for praising the hanger steak in his book, "Meat Me In Manhattan". It's my new favorite cut of meat.
I came home and kept panting in the dog's face to make him jealous of the meal I just had.

Nick Lowe
This morning, I come back from food shopping and turn on the TV.
It's "Viva Rock Vegas" the Flintstones sequel and I'm momentarily
entranced by how much better the casting of Betty is for this movie
than the original. Anyway, while I am ogling Jane Krakowski in her
short blue skirt, I realize the background music for the scene is
Nick Lowe's "Seven Nights to Rock"! Wow! Who would have ever
thought that a Nick Lowe song would find it's way into a Flintstones
movie?
Anyway, the very next scene the Flintstones and the Rubbles are at an
amusement park. The music? Nick Lowe's "Half a Boy and Half a Man".
What the heck is going on here???

From Mod to Odd
These are some of the better pictures I took in and around New York & Jersey City last year. Mostly of rock and roll bands, but some cityscapes and what I like to call “barscapes”. The bands run the gamut, from Mod (The Insomniacs) to Odd (Pink Steel, New York’s Premiere Gay Heavy Metal Combo).
Others include (in no particular order) The Martinets, George & the Giblets, The Waldos, The Master Plan (featuring Keith Streng of the Fleshtones and Andy Shernoff of the Dictators), The Woggles, Muck & the Mires, The Billy Filo Starship masquerading as The Dead Boys for a special Halloween show, Holmes, the Dansettes and more!
The pictures were taken with a Canon Powershot SD10 Elph, a camera so small it can fit in a cigarette pack. Then I tweaked the pics in Photoshop to give’em that Roberta Bayley/CBGB’s vibe.

Red Rubber Ball
My friend Michael sent me this the other day. It's a mix of four different versions of the 60s tune, "Red Rubber Ball". The culprits include Neil Diamond, Simon & Garfunkel, The Diamonds, & the Cyrkle.
Like Michael, it's cute for a little while, then get's kind of annoying. Decide for yourself: Red Rubber Ball

Think Locally, Shop Globally
Tried to shop locally today.
As anyone who knows me here can tell you: my cell phone is a load of
pants. The sim card keeps getting loose from the cradle, so often
times I will be talking to someone and they can hear me, but I can't
hear them.
My friend Tony just re-upped his plan and got the Motorola V551, with
a planner, camera and all the stuff. He uses it pretty much as his
primary phone and has no problems with it. Some other friends of mine
have Motorola's and never seem to have problems, so I decided to
upgrade to one of them.
After doing some online research, I went out in my neighborhood to
purchase one. I went to half a dozen shops, ranging from a wireless
center to a videogame store. Either they did not stock the kind I
wanted, told me to come back Monday or tried to sell me a new plan.
But the one thing in common is that they could not beat the price I
found online this morning. The closest was $125 more. INSANE.
I came home from my shopping trip with a 99 cent funnel for the kitchen.
Then I went to the Lot Store down the block. It's one of those 99
cent/close out places. I found a pair of Levis in exactly the right
size for me (29 inch legs are hard to find - the only pair I found was
at the Levis speciallty store, and I paid close to $40 for them), a
new knapsack, a Powerpuff Girls knapsack for a friend and bunch of
other household stuff, total cost: $20.98
I love the Lot Store.
