Condomania tells you where the biggest penises are in the country. In other news, I’m moving to New Orleans! I guess they really don’t call it the “Big Easy” for nothing.

Condomania has been collecting data on penis size since 2004 when they launched, They Fit Condoms, a line of custom fitted jimmy-hats. They Fit Condoms come in 76 different sizes, ranging from 3 to 10 (!) inches in length and, from super slim to “extra-roomy” in width.  The strictly-dickly-data collection, culled by the feedback provided by 27,000 penises from around the world, is the largest (ahem) evaluation on Mr. Johnson since The Kinsey Penis Report in the early 90’s. Below are more fun penis facts from Condomania. In other news, I can’t wait to go back to New Hampshire!

• Top Ranking State by Average Penis Size: New Hampshire
• Lowest Ranking State by Average Penis Size: Wyoming
• Top Ranking U.S. City by Average Penis Size: New Orleans
• Second Highest Ranking City (just behind N.O.): Washington, D.C.
• Lowest Ranking City by Average Penis Size: Dallas/Ft. Worth
• Blue States vs Red States: Blue States’ Average Penis Size is Bigger!
• Penises Come in a Wide Range of Sizes: The Smallest Penises are Less Than 3″ in Length and the Largest Penises are Longer Than 10″ in Length
• Penis Sizes Chart Almost a Perfect Bell Curve: 25% of the Male Population is Under 5″ in Length, 50% are Between 5″ and 6″ in Length and 25% are Longer than 6″ in Length

Endless Boogie. From 2010’s Full House Head. For Surly.

Endless Boogie are from Brooklyn. And they fucking rock. As you will see by way of today’s Daily Earwig from Endless Boogie, Tarmac City.  And, let’s be honest. If you’re gonna have the balls to name your band after a John Lee Hooker song, you better be able to back it up with some first class jams. Which Endless Boogie does, masterfully. Despite the fact that the band has been been around since 2001, they just released their second studio album, Full House Head, this past July. The record is full of epic, indulgent tunes that rival those of their classic rock predecessors. Word.

Legs in strange places by Tommy Agriodimas. Thanks to JB  for the leggy linkage.

Mickey Rourke and a new hair-do in New York.

I can’t say a bad thing about Mickey Rourke’s new hair-do. I do however have an issue with Mickey’s two-sizes-too-small  Alternative Apparel t-shirt. That said, yes I would still hit it, girlie t-shirt and all.

Gil Scott Heron, Me and the Devil. From 2010’s I’m New Here. Out now.

I’m pretty sure that Mickey Rourke makes an appearance in this Gil Scott Heron video about 3:41 in but, sometimes hard to tell Mickey from a homeless wino wearing corpse makeup. Yes, really. All Mickey bashing aside, this video for Me and the Devil has a great albeit unsettling Warriors vibe to it. Dig it…

Scott Campbell, 3-D dollar bill sculpture.

In his most recent non-ink-on-skin pieces, Scott Campbell, a Brooklyn based tattoo artist, has created 3-D sculptures made of dollar bills piled 500 thick to a stack.

Scott Campbell, 3-D dollar bill sculpture. George would be proud.

According to the New York Times, Campbell is a 32 year old college dropout from Louisiana . He is regularly sought after by Hollywood ink-freaks, like Robert Downey Jr, Heath Ledger (RIP) and Courtney Love. It’s also possible to get inked by Campbell if you’re not a celebrity as he sees a small number of clients each month via Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn.

Bob Dylan by Jillian Tamaki.

If the work of Brooklyn based artist (by way of Calgary, Alberta) Jillian Tamaki is familiar to you, it’s because her work has appeared in such publications such as The New York Times and The Guardian UK. Click here to check out Tamaki’s sweet Sketch Blog, which is updated almost daily.

Earl Greyhound, Ghost and The Witness. From the April 2010 release, Suspicious Package. You can get a full download of Suspicious Package for free here (sign-up required).

Earl Greyhound are from Brooklyn and make regular pilgrimages to Boston for live shows. If you’re in Boston on May 7th, (and I know very well that lots of you are), your opportunity to see what will likely be one of the most sonic rock shows this year happens on May 7th, at one of the last great rock rooms still standing in Boston, The Paradise.

Earl will kick out a bunch of other East Coast dates next month before hitting the West Coast (not Seattle – Boo) through the month of May.

Lastly, since I know you really like to rock, here’s EG’s video for Shotgun. Bang-Bang! Rock ‘n’ Roll  baby!

Axl Rose ( yes, really) leaving his New York City hotel yesterday.

Iggy Pop getting ready to pay the audience a visit…

Hey New York,

How is it that you so many of you so called “New Yorkers” forgot that when Iggy Pop jumps into the audience at a live show, YOU CATCH HIM! For chrissake Igg only weighs about 100lbs. Even when he’s covered entirely in glitter! What is wrong with you people? Is it because you’re chasing your light beer with Ambien instead of Tequila these days? Dang New York, and I always thought you were so cool. My bad.

Anyway, here’s what the reigning King of Punk had to say about the incident that took place last month at Carnegie Hall:

When I landed it hurt and I made a mental note that Carnegie Hall would be a good place for my last stage dive.  The audience were just like, ‘What are you doing?’”

Luckily, (and unlike his rock ‘n’ roll counterpart Steven Tyler, both aged 62 & 63 respectively), Iggy suffered only bruises when the Carnegie crowd actually “parted” and allowed Igg to face plant on the floor. Nice.

Mike Giant, Skullz.

Be the first to get your hands on new prints (like the amazingly hot shot above) from New York native Mike Giant at Benders in San Fransisco tonight.

No sir, I do not like that hat. And, from the looks of it, neither do you.

Honcho? Check. Matching hat? Check. Axl Rose hitting the stage three hours late in New York? Yeah, that sound about right…

Mickey Rourke was in the crowd when Axl Rose and Guns ‘N’ Roses finally hit the stage at 1:30 am, three hours later than expected. The show went down at The Rose Bar in the Gramercy Hotel in New York on Sunday. Adding to the drama is a report that former Skid Row vocalist turned Celebrity Fit Club contestant subdued a drunk who flashed a knife inside the show. According to a witness Bach said, ‘Nobody is getting anywhere near my man Axl Rose with a knife’, and went after him. Security quickly ejected the man from the show without incident.

Anyway, here’s set-list from the Valentine’s Day show:
