Yesterday a severed foot washed up on the western coast of Canada. It was the 5th severed foot to have washed up in the same area in the past year or so. In the article on cnn.com Constable Sharlene Brooks of the Delta Police Department in British Columbia was quoted as saying
“It is a little mysterious, but we don’t know if it is linked to others.
Are you fucking KIDDING me?!?! How many one footed pogo stick looking motherfuckers do they have hopping around Canada?! Is it so many that they don’t know if 5 severed feet washing on to shore in the same spot may not be related because this was a left foot and the others were right feet?!?!
I used to like Canada, but now I realized it’s fucked. If I were a serial killer I would totally move there. “We don’t know if these deaths are related because all 11 of these people were killed with a different size knife to the throat”.
Morons.

This is pretty random but I think I need a Rubix cube alarm clock. Basically every morning I have like three different alarms set and I turn them all off and proceed to go right back to sleep, wake up super late, rush to wherever I need to be and start my morning out crappy.
The Rubix cube alarm clock forces you to solve the puzzle before it turns off. It might bring you back to the 80’s or it might make you want to throw it out the window to watch it break into pieces. I guess the whole point is to get you up and get your brain working.. but my brain doesn’t really work that early in the morning. That shit could get annoying real fast. Who can really solve the puzzle that fast anyways?

Just got a message from my pal and venerable indie-folk touring champion Drew Danburry about the fate of Village Green Records, an independent music store in Muncie, Indiana. It seems someone broke in and stole their rent money. As if it wasn’t hard enough to operate an independent record store/tour stop when poeple are caring less and less about buying albums and seeing live music…
If you have $5 to spare (and a paypal account), you can help keep this musical institution alive.
In Muncie, Indiana there is a locally run independent record store run by some of my friends called Village Green Records. They have been providing excellent independent music for a few years now and have done countless shows for local and touring bands including myself.
Unfortunately, on Thursday, someone had the audacity to search through private rooms, and discovered the location of the rent money and stole it. Now the record store is $500 short for their June rent, which is already overdue, and is in danger of being shut down/evicted.
Village Green Records and a band (ITFOW) are asking for your help through small donations to the record store in order to keep it open. If 100 people donate $5 each, then VGR will be able to stay open and provide support to the independent music scene.
If you have paypal, and would be willing to donate to this cause, please send your donations to

Thanks guys. It would be a good thing to do. Definitely.

Festival goers were pissed when Kanye West’s set was delayed for more than two hours. I would be too. He requested a late night performance at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee but did not go on when he was scheduled. The festival crowd responded by chanting “Kanye sucks” and throwing glow sticks at the stage. What’s up with Kanye and glow sticks anyways?
He was supposed to take the main stage at 2:45 a.m. on Sunday morning. The concert goers were getting sleepy and waiting for West to come on stage. A message on the jumbotrons told them his show would be delayed until 3:15 a.m. and when that didn’t happen, 3:30 a.m.
West didn’t actually get on stage until 4:25 a.m. because there were problems setting up his elaborate stage set. The set included an interplanetary landscape, wavy black platform, slanted floor in the middle and a video screen above for his galactic themed concert… complete with a spaceship. At Bonnaroo, really?
Most of the crowd were mad and lost energy and returned to their camp sites. During his performance the morning light came out to show the crowd had disappeared. The crowd was still upset the next day and were encouraged by other bands to continue the “Kanye sucks” chant. Poor Kanye.

Clayton Williams is a well known person when it comes to Texas politics for all the wrong reasons. During his gubernatorial election campaign in 1990 he made some crude jokes about rape including, “As long as it’s inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.” The remarks were publicized and played a huge role in his loss that year.
Williams recently became a fundraiser for John McCain and put together an event that would have raised $300,000 for McCain. McCain does like sexist jokes. Right around the time of the fundraiser, McCain was supposed to be gaining women supporters who were disappointed by Hillary Clinton’s loss. He did this by publicizing his love for horrible Swedish pop sensations, ABBA. When the McCain campaign was asked about Williams remarks on rape he canceled the fundraiser.
Now it turns out that the fundraiser was not canceled and the money is still in circulation. The venue is just shifting to a new location.
