Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I especially like the jump from Buck Owens to Nic Roeg.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Devo frontman: "I smoked angel dust with Michael Jackson and Andy Warhol"

“The only time in my life I smoked angel dust was by accident and it was on a double date with Andy Warhol and Michael Jackson,” laughs Mothersbaugh. “We all went to Studio 54 and people were passing drugs all over the place.

“Michael Jackson had just finished doing the movie The Wiz and still looked like Michael Jackson back then – he had an Afro and he was still black. He passed me a joint and I thought, well OK, we don’t have marijuana in Ohio so I’ll try it.”

Minutes later Mothersbaugh found himself on the dancefloor as pillars of light were swirling around “like weedcutters” knocking people over and cutting them up. He turned to his date in horror, only to hear her say: “You didn’t smoke any of that angel dust did you?”

A friend of mine smoked a joint with Johny Thunders (about half a year before Thunders died). The joint turned out to be laced with PCP.

I guess the moral is: never smoke a joint with someone famous.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Last night's "History Detectives" on PBS had a theremin segment.

Amazing Long-Lost Bongwater Video for "The Power of Pussy" Lives!

Very NSFW.

Thanks, Tom! Sad that the video is just Ann & Kramer. The lead guitarist, Dave Rick, is a *very* old friend. We went to summer camp together as teens!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, my beloved Bouncing Souls are on Warped Tour and their truck died. Then their merch got stolen... madness.

The cool thing about this video, however, is their singer Greg's unflappable zen. [link]

(And, no, he's not high. If it were the drummer he'd be high.)

I probably should have been pimping my column at Dog Canyon to y'all before now. This week, I'm writing on Laurie Anderson: [link]

Prior weeks have had the Louvin Brothers, the Fall, and the Go-Betweens.
