Late nite music from the land of fire and ice.

Gus Gus circa 1997 - Believe (Live)


Fashion. Art. Beats. 10 years ahead of it's time. Brilliant.

Has it been over ten years?! Geez, I'm gettin' old. Help the aged. One of the best live shows I've ever seen. Polydistortion tour 1997 @ the Roxy, Sunset Blvd.
Where were you?

The Market is falling!

So much for my retirement accounts. Another headline like this--Lehman bankruptcy filing shows $613 billion debt, and I'm going to have to stop using my stimulus package on lapdances. $613Bn. Seriously? How does this happen? Someone explain! Surely Governor Gidget Palin will save us! Say, whatever happened to the guillotine? I decree now would be a good time for it to make a historic comeback. Begin with them pesky whiners and their mental recession! Say what? You owned LEH and AIG? Listen, this will all be over soon enough. Think of the losses you can write off.

Say, what are the visa requirements for Canadian residency?

Cup half-full--lapdances will stay reasonably priced for some time to come. Oooh, 2 for 1 specials. Don't despair!

Give this guy your money.

Unhealthy obsession #342

Vintage Trek road bikes. I youtub'd Trek and came across this winner from the Empire state...normally I don't condone any kind of violence but after watching this, I wish someone would run over this guy's big toe with a 27" Super Champion Wolber. Vintage wheel reference. Thank you.



Subdivisions? $180! New Pedals! Craig1974 on youtube. Watch his videos. Pray for humanity.

How do you say crook in Urdu?


"Playboy"

BBC Profile:

He spent several years in jail on charges of corruption. He was labelled "Mr 10%".

He found himself in major trouble in 1990 when he was accused of tying a remote-controlled bomb to the leg of a businessman and sending him into a bank to withdraw money from his account as a pay-off.

As a rule of opposable thumbs, never ever under any circumstance trust anyone named Asif. As if? Please. Crook? Possibly, but he'll be a pro-Western crook! Well why didn't you just say so in the first place? Send cash quick!

What say you Democracy?

Harmony, balance, beauty! Or simply looking for Chinese investors?

Red.
Red is hot. It's a strong color that conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare. Red is Cupid and the Devil.

Red is power, hence the red power tie for business people and the red carpet for celebrities and VIPs (very important people).

Flashing red lights denote danger or emergency. Stop signs and stop lights are red to get the drivers' attention and alert them to the dangers of the intersection.

In some cultures, red denotes purity, joy, and celebration. Red is the color of happiness and prosperity in China and may be used to attract good luck.Red is often the color worn by brides in the East while it is the color of mourning in South Africa. In Russia the Bolsheviks used a red flag when they overthrew the Tsar, thus red became associated with communism. Many national flags use red.
First it was Nevada State Hwy signs, now this...for over a year now, I've been watching every Bank of America location update it's signage to it's (newer) logo to a red background with red or occasionally blue text (see below). I totally flip out every time I see it now. Red on Red?

What say you dear Aesthetic?


Logo w/white background. Super!


Passion?




Let the eagle soar!

En vivo...


Miss Mol as The Notorious Bettie Page

Watched more t.v. tonite than I have in years...

Watched a few minutes of Russell Brand hosting the MTV Music Awards, was sad to see him perform for such a sorry ass audience. When exactly did Kurt Loder become a wing-nut job?

Entourage. Season 5. What's it been 18 months? So after four seasons, we've come full circle...like watching the first season all over again. One word--gratuitous. And that's a good thing. Til next week.

True Blood. Bayou flavored vampire dramady. Indeed the vampire craze is in full swing. Apparently the grandma from Twister is in it. And that's pretty much all I recall. Aren't we due for a UFO craze?

How would I go about stalking meeting Gretchen Mol? I like her even more since I found out she named her son Ptolemy. As a brunette! Mmmm...Gretchen, like geography is spatial! Get it?! Spatial! I kill me. Why am I thinking of Miss Mol you ask? The Notorious Bettie Page is on now...Gretchen is amazing. However, the film itself is a bit unbalanced. Apparently, everyone in Tennessee is a creep/abuser/rapist/molester/religious nut. And all the smut peddlers/pornographers/bondage fiends in New York are hard working good folk. It's all so innocent! They're just pictures. They're just props! Come on now...how naive do they reckon we is? Irving Klaw? Seriously, total scumbag.

I recall watching my first Bettie Page video some dozen odd years ago...featured a dude in a monkey-suit knotting Bettie up improper like. Classic.

Amen.

Following up...

How can you slap redux. It was only a matter of time.

When keepin' it real goes too far...

Fun with Hindoos.



Does this mean he's officially off the show?

Here's the deal, listen, seriously, here's the thing--if you are the host of a lame English language Indian reality show and your job is to slap contestants around dressed like some kind of Desi dominatrix, don't be surprised if a little guy dressed as a Bavarian fruitcake slaps you back every now and then. These things are bound to happen. Just think of the ratings!

For the record, I stand with the fruity guy. Seems like a sweet sweet man. How can she slap? Seriously.
