In the Things that will be amusing to about 4 people around here department: a friend of mine, after going to the VNV Nation show last night, has taken to calling them VNV Music Factory.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
That's awesome, Jilli. Did your friend see anyone wearing a SimRonan shirt?
Edit: I'm sure nobody else here will get it, but, for those interested, the joke is that Ronan is the lead singer/lyricist/programmer/monkey boy for VNV Nation, who are iconic in the dance goth/EBM scene. SimRonan is . . . Well, just kind of is.

Huh. Apparently White Stripes are going to be in concert here in a few weeks. With Megadeth.

Thought Jon might get a kick out of this. Nerve.com's current edition of its feature "Sex Advice from..." features accordion players.
Nerve: Is there a type of girl that goes for accordion players?
Michael Hearst (One Ring Zero): It's funny, because I also play theremin. More girls seem to be into the theremin and go, "Oh, that's sexy" after a show than when I'm playing claviola or accordion.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Thanks Joe. I'll have to pass that on to The Pee Wee Fist accordion player...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Wow. You guys in the Lothars must have to beat the groupies off with, er, antennas.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
BEATLES FANS--I just heard a charming Macca story. A good friend works wardrobe every year for the Paul Newman fundraiser for his camps, which usually involves lots of stars. This year they were steaming costumes when Sir Paul popped his head in. MY pal was working on a headdress which was a long length of tulle, and Paul said "Pretty, could I wear it?" The other woman doing wardrobe was so startsruck that she literally stopped breathing, but my friend managed to say that yes, Paul would look pretty in it, but it was spoken for. He then asked if he could borrow the steamer to get the wrinkles out of his suit. My friend assured him that they would be happy to steam his suit for him and he said really, he'd do it if they were busy. They did steam the (gorgeous Burberry) suit and returned it to him. After he did his set (three songs, killed the house and got a huge standing O), he saw them in the wings, went over to thank them. My friend said the set was amazing and Paul said "It was the suit " and thanked them again and gave them both kisses on the cheek.
YES MY FRIEND WAS KISSED BY A BEATLE.

YES MY FRIEND WAS KISSED BY A BEATLE.
A very nice and charming Beatle, I must say.
