Nick Cave, Ramblin’ Mind. From the new Jeffrey Lee Pierce tribute record, We Are Only Riders.

Nick Cave’s moving cover of Jeffrey Lee Pierce’s Ramblin’ Mind can be found on the new tribute record for former Gun Club vocalist, We Are Only Riders. Fittingly, Pierce’s original guitar track for Ramblin’ Mind croons along with Cave’s mournful drawl on the completely stellar cover. Cave also collaborated with Debbie Harry on the track, Free To Walk.

The Ravonettes (who also cover Free To Walk) and Mark Lanegan also contribute to Riders.

Mickey Rourke at the 2010 Golden Globes.

How Mickey managed to match his gold cowboy pimp chains to his hat is a mystery to me. With that said, I’d still hit it with a riding crop. And blindfolds. Anyway, here’s Mickey Rourke giving the paps the 2 am “what’s your number ’cause I lost mine” side-eye at the Golden Globes last weekend.

Howard Zinn quote. For Gatsby and Surly.

Howard Zinn, a man who intelligently embodied and displayed the highest level  anti-establishment action and philosophy, has passed away.

Howard Zinn was 87.

Tattoo of Nickelback vocalist Chad Kroeger singing into a penis microphone. Yes, really.

This tattoo exists because the owner of the ink job, that depicts Nickelback vocalist Chad Kroeger in his natural habitat singing into a penis, lost a bet. Take that Nickelback. I think…

Steven Tyler rocks the PA mike at Home Depot. Meh…

Steven Tyler hijacked the PA system of a Home Depot in Rancho Mirage, California, yesterday, and sang parts of “Dude Looks Like a Lady” and “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”. This gig follows up Tyler’s surprise appearance at Karaoke Night at now world famous Tilted Kilt Pub in Palm Desert, California last week. Which is exactly what you would think someone fresh out of rehab would do for fun. Right?

Keith Richards gives up booze?

Keith Richards hasn’t touched a drop of alcohol for over four months, according to a  source close to the 67 year old Rolling Stone. Recently Courtney Love said she wanted to compare her liver to Richards as they live “similar lifestyles”. And while that request would be enough for anyone but me to stop boozing, apparently it was band mate Ron Wood’s downwards trip down the hooch-hall-of-shame that caused Keef to stop calling his best friend, Jack Daniels.

More plus photos of Ronnie “I swear I don’t drink anymore” Wood leaving two different bars in London last weekend via Holy Moly.

Thanks!: Dlisted.

Peter Lardong of Berlin making chocolate records. Yes, really.

At first Peter Lardong tried to make records out of sausages, beer and cheese. Lardong was finally successful when he decided to use chocolate. Unbelievably, the chocolate records actually play music.

Alan Grayson has guts!

In response to last weeks Supreme Court ruling that stripped restrictions on campaign contributions from corporations, Florida Representative Alan Grayson filed a Reform Package called “Save Our Democracy”. The package contains six pieces of legislation including H.R. 4431 or, “The Business Should Mind It’s Own Business Act”. H.R. 4431 would assess a 500% excise tax on corporate political donations. Here’s more from Grayson on this the latest and quite unbelievable “is this really Democracy?” debacle:

If we do nothing then I think you can kiss your country goodbye. You won’t have any more senators from Kansas or Oregon, you’ll have senators from Cheekies and Exxon. Maybe we’ll have to wear corporate logos like Nascar drivers. The Supreme Court’s ruling opens the floodgates for the purchases and sale of the law.

Gaultier Men’s Collection Fall/Winter 2010 Paris.

Last week, Jean Paul Gaultier Men’s 2010/2011 show in Paris opened with two female models duking it out in a boxing ring that stood in the middle of the room.  The show also featured guys strutting around (like grumpy, above) made up to look “all beat up” in Gaultier’s prize-fighter inspired Fall/Winter 2010/2011 collection.

While it’s important to get out and vote (example: Massachusetts) to be sure the Animal Spay/Neuter Assistance Legislation gets passed (Washington State Senate Bill 5329/HB 1406), it’s equally important to petition your WA state senators and reps now, so the voices of animals that can’t speak for themselves are heard.

Right now, The Seattle Humane Society is offering free spay/neuter services for all Pit Bull and Pit Bull Mix adoptions, and microchips are only $5. Contact your local Humane Society for more information.
