Bar Set from Alaska Governors Mansin, $900 or BO. Did you know I can see Alaska from my front porch in North Seattle?
Hot damn how I love the lunatic fringe that populate the electronic want-ads of Craig’s List, hoping to get rich by selling the garbage from their garage! Above are some photos from a CL ad, placed by a man in Lynwood, Washington. A typical C’Lister who was of course too busy to clean off the junk surround the junk he is trying to sell. Anyway, the ad claims that the bar set and small fridge (somewhere buried in the blurry photo on the bottom left) were once residents of someplace known as the “Governor’s manchin” in Alaska. The unedited ad is below:
Bar and chairs and small fridge solid wood and leather hand made 900.00 or offer.Was in the governor of alaska’s manchin not palin before her, collectors item.
So You Think You Can Dance, all girl Superhero dance sequence. For the real Wonder Woman who I know reads this blog. Thanks to Friends of P for the link.
I don’t watch this show but people I love do. Which is great for everyone really because this particular episode involves beautiful women, dressed like scantly-clad Japanese superheros, uh…dancing. Yeah, that’s it! This video is about dancing. My bad.
Halloween II Trailer. Directed by Zob Zombie & out in 2009.
Holy mother of mayhem. I’ll go to this movie just to listen to the soundtrack. Anyway, Rob Zombie’s musical remake accompaniment of my most sacred horror film (yes, really) has got me. Really, really, got me. I think this film is going to change the public perceptionof The Moody Blues song, Nights in White Satin. Which is good. But what do I know? I’m so easy. Give me Lemmy anytime, anywhere, and I’m happy. And that’s the truth for once. Okay, maybe twice.
Below is the track listing for HII2009. If you didn’t scream like a girl with hipster pants on at Coachella (hey there hipster watching Band of Horses), then you sir/madam, are not alive.

Big Mattress t-shirt cira 1992. Tank sized for your pleasure. Thanks for photo editing, RDK. For Stacey.
Tankon Sports(or Paul “Tank” Sferruzza) is one of the most down-to-earth people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I could start a blog based on the sports type stuff that he bestowed on this once poor, teenage radio wannabe. This shirt is one of my favorite pieces of ‘BCN history.
Anyway, ‘BCN was so far ahead of their time. I mean, who knew how hot blood-splatter was going to be in 2009? Even posh retailer Barney’s wants to sell you clothes that make you look sexy while you’re being stabbed to death. Good times…
More vintage-type WBCN posts to follow. And yeah, I’m saving the best for last.
Photograph from Bush Compulsion: A Primitive Breakthrough in the Modern Mind, by Melanie Bonajo and Emmeline de Mooij, 2009.
Dutch photographers Melanie Bonajo and Emmeline de Mooij combined their love of art, photography and being naked outside for their first book, Bush Compulsion: A Primitive Breakthrough in the Modern Mind. Published in 2009, It’s as voyeuristically sexy as it is strange. But don’t leave it on your shelf for your Mom to find. She just wouldn’t understand. Unless you’re Mom was born on or after 1945 that is. And maybe not even then…
Austin’s The Hex Dispensers just put out their second LP, Winchester Mystery House on on of my favorite labels, Douchemaster, home to the equally excellent Davilla 666. Members of the band have collectively been in at least 10 other bands, including another one of my favorite things, Seattle’sTractor Sex Fatality. Hex sounds like a cranked up Jim Carrolldriving by your house in a hearse doing 80 in a school zone with Johnny Ramone riding shotgun. The bands 2009 record, Winchester, is yet another strong contender for my favorites records of 2009. Hex has delivered some absolute throw-back, full-throttle punk rock ear candy for all. At least those of us with classy ears.
The Hex Dispensers will be at The Scoot Inn in Austin on Saturday, August 1st. More on The Hex Dispensers can be found @ Germany’s Alien Snatch Records.
Actually, that photo was taken three hours ago. My bad. Now it’s probably more like HOLY HELL IT’S TOO HOT!, degrees Fahrenheit, PLEASE MAKE THE SKY AND AIR STOP BURNING ME!, degrees Celsius.
Tequila for Chicks. Caramba Tequila Pink Resposado.
Caramba Tequilais a California based Tequila distillery produces about 35 bottles of their designer Tequila, like the Pink Resposado above, a month. And I thought Corazon Blanco had a suckable bottle design!
You can buy some if you live in California or in Kansas(?). The rest of us will have to suck something else for now.
An image from my favorite dream about Michael Vick….
…nope.
Apparently NFL commissioner Michael Goodell has a similar case of amnesia when it comes to Michael Vick as he conditionally reinstated the dog murdering Quarterback this week. Already, numerous NFL teams like the 49ers, St. Louis Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins, have already released statements saying they are just not interested in signing Vick to a contract.
I covered this story pretty heavily when it broke in 2007. But when word came of Vick’s conditional reentry into the NFL couple of days ago, it made me so sick that I wasn’t able to write a coherent word. But that was yesterday and today is a new day. So here are a few choice words I feel most accurately describe my feelings on the latest developments in this story:
Fuck Michael Vick. Fuck Michal Goodell and FUCK THE NFL.
Five year old Wesley performs Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash.
Wesley is a student at Seattle’s Heartwood Guitar School. This performance is from the 2009 Spring Coffee Shop Jam, held this past April at The Columbia City Theater in Seattle.
The Soviettes, Land of the Clear Blue Radio. From the Soviettes LP, 2003. For Sarah.
Although The Soviettes are sadly no more, you can catch two-thirds of the band (Annie Holoien and Danny Henry) and their band,The Awesome Snakes on Thursday, July 30th with Seattle’s own Coconut Coolouts(who just released excellent new music I’ll jaw about later on the blog) at the 7th Street Entry in the Soviettes/Snakes home base, Minneapolis.
Mickey Rourke gets inky with Sylvester Stallone in The Expendables.
After seeing Rourke’s attempt at DIY tattooing, Sylvester Stallone might want to reconsider trusting Rourke with a needle full of ink while his back is turned. Anyway, you can watch some cool behind-the-scenes stuff straight from the set of The Expendables, here.
The bang-bang, buddy flick will be out on April 23rd, 2010.
As Seen on TV, the virtually unbreakable Shake Weight. For AFJ.
