Chameleon, lemon-headed, coward, terrorist pussy. [YouTube linky] Psycho complains to city about 'rogue helicopter pilot': "Local lunatic David Thompson complains to Charlotte, NC city council during a community access forum, which is conveniently captured on tape and broadcast live on the local community access channel. There aren't enough tags to cover his rant against ice in the arena, rogue helicopter pilots, and 'terrorist pussies'."
The Leica Freedom Train "After being hired by the New York Office of Leitz in 1938, on alternate weeks, I witnessed the arrival and processing of thirty or more Leitz-sponsored refugees who were lined up along the wall of our office waiting to be interviewed by Alfred Boch, Executive Vice President of E. Leitz, Inc. Boch put them up at the nearby Great Northern Hotel and spent the succeeding days on the telephone finding jobs for them throughout New York and the nation."
These refugees were Jews, trained in the camera business by Leitz in Germany so that upon immigration,
they could find jobs in the U.S.(.pdf).

There's a fly in my pho? I wanted pad thai this evening and right beside Mai Thai (I swear I'm going to make signs for a 2 block pun-free zone in my nabe: C-Food, MEATing) is The Happy Buddha. As I approached the shared stoop, a largish white dude with dreads came outside The Happy Buddha, swore an unintelliglble blue streak for a good 30 seconds, then went back into the place.
I listened for gunshots, heard none and carried on with picking up my order. It's days like these, I truly love this city.

Up here in Canruckistan..... Some of the middle schools have a grade 8 graduation party. My son's school is having a 4 hour cruise on Lake Ontario, complete with four-course meal, dj and dancing.

I look forward to taking as many pics as possible with which to embarrass him in decades to come.

The padaung were even more so. When we arrived, "long necked" women ran about playing football with small and filthy ruffians. They pushed, yelled, shoved and beat the ruffians 3-0."

Morton Feldman was a big, brusque Jewish guy from Woodside, Queensthe son of a manufacturer of childrens coats.

To almost everyones surprise but his own, he turned out to be

Monkone - Breakin' Rocks "As in rock records that break. And um, oldies that break, and maybe a little country that breaks too. Dollar bin to top shelf, Monk mixes together some of the best that this digger-created genre has to offer, guiding us with the usual finesse and ear for lining things up properly. Never taking things too seriously or letting the popsicle fun melt by playing the songs too long, he sets the table and then lets the (war) pigs go crazy. We like this: Led Zep, Ballin Jack, Alice Cooper, Sweetwater, Paul Butterfield, Donovan, Flaming Ember, Tommy Roe ("Dizzy," hell yeah), Steve Miller, the Turtles, that Kenny Rogers break, Flaming Ember, etc."--

What's the name of this decade? It seems like it dosn't even have one. At the beginning of this decade people were wondering what it would be called. It's half over and it doesn't seem to have any name at all. People were always going on about "the 80s" and "the 90s" during those time periods and continue to do so today. But there doesn't seem.

Mother, Please! Anarchist Retchcore collective United Cutlery offered us a hundred and fifty Euros to do a video for this track, which they told us was about monkeys and domestic violence. We reinterpreted it as a Betty Crocker morality tale. With fireballs. The one minute piece uses about 5s of source footage from a 1950's industrial film we found on archive.org.
I don't know why I like this but I really do.
