Dead Body Flakes.

Artist Marco Evaristti is working with Texas inmate and murderer of 3, Gene Hathorn on an anti-capital-punishment exhibit. The exhibit will be staged after Hathorn's execution. The murderer's body is to be frozen, then made into flakes that museum visitors could feed to goldfish. Evaristti is most noted for his 2000 exhibit in which he placed live goldfish in several electric blenders and invited museum visitors to turn them on. WOW.

Is it really too much to ask?

Someone please be Baberaham Lincoln for Halloween!

Pitchfork gives Jay Reatards Matador Singles '08 an 8.2

Pretty much right on, but. . .
I still think Pitchfork is for assholes.

Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor squeezes out solo album

Yep! And, it includes a Paul McCartney cover!

Because touring, recording and remixing every song from the last year hasn't killed him yet, Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, the one with the old man hipster glasses, has just released a solo joint.

"Rubbed Out" includes a cover of Paul McCartney's "Coming Up", and it's available this very moment from Treader.
Think he was just trying for some unsavory comments when naming it?
Hmmmm.

Another reason I hate being poor.

I will be missing over 1,000 bands in New York City.
Dammit all.
Hope you go! Check out the site for massive line-ups, which you can search by venue and date.

Man names his newborn after McPalin Republimart.

WHAT?
Yes. It's true.
A father of a newborn girl has secretly named his offspring after the Republican ticket. Sarah McCain Palin was barely born when Mark Ciptak of TN penned the name on the documents for the poor child's birth certificate. The baby, who was supposed to be named Ava Grace, will certainly be doomed for greed, idiocy and religious fanaticism - but hey! Maybe she will hunt real good-like!
"I don't think she believes me yet,"said Mr. Ciptak to the Kingsport Times-News. 'It's going to take some more convincing." Ciptak, a said he named his third child after John McCain and Sarah Palin to 'to get the word out' about the campaign.
Good way to do it! Enjoy divorce!!

Dennis Leary is a fucking idiot.

I have no liking towards this ignorant man after the release of his book, "Why We Suck." In this book he calls Autism a joke.
You know what I think is a joke? Someone who tries to write about the idiocy of America, and then turns out to be one himself!
Here is a big FUCK YOU to Leary from me.
He states that the boom in autism is due to lazy mothers and competitive fathers who simply want an excuse for why their children cannot compete academically.
"I don't give a shit what these crackerjack whack jobs [psychiatrists and counselors] tell you — yer kid is NOT autistic. He's just stupid. Or lazy. Or both."
REALLY?
Really.
Well, take it from someone who has worked with autistic children, and seen the lives of the children, their family and their classmates be turned upside down because of this disease. These people are not lazy or stupid. In fact, they have probably triple the IQ of Leary.
That's enough about this rant.
I don't want to give this moron the time of day.

Oh Blog, How I Have Missed You

I am stealing a few minutes to say that Monday I will have my blog up and running again. I cannot wait.
Things are going good.
I am 30.
I have a job.
I am just below the poverty line, not way below.
I am going to start making music again.
Hooray for that.
I will post a more interesting and not self-centered blog Monday.
Toodles.
