Van Morrison Bans Booze
Singer Van Morrison has banned alcohol from his concerts because he finds it “off-putting” when fans visit the bar. I just heard this on NPR a minute ago, and am listening to the debate now. Pretty interesting stuff. But serious, ban alcohol?

The Silent Giants
The Michigan design group The Silent Giants have a slew of new concert posters for sale on their site. They’ve done prints for Xiu Xiu, Mogwai, Black Mountain, Sigur Ros, and more. All of their prints are hand printed, they are produced in super low editions, and are all $20 or less. These guys are doing it right, and are worth supporting for sure.

Running on minimal sleep after a final night out with Benjamin, and now at work, sorting through the random thoughts that I juggled over a number of beverages and enough rolled cigs to tint my fingers brown. This song is hitting the spot. oops I blaaahgd my pants.

A Must See Video
Thomas showed me this video yesterday, definitely check it out.
What the Internet Really Is:
I know this video is kinda old, but it’s new to me. This is what Sen. Ted Stevens definition of the internet is. Pretty accurate if you ask me.
And to make it even better, here is the techno remix.

Band of the Day: Heartless Bastards
I heard about this band one random evening on NPR around 5pm when I was coming home from work. There was a lot of talk, but when they finally played a sample of their new album, I was completely blown away. This was like 2 years ago too. I went out, bought the album, which I must say, is one of the BEST albums I have ever bought. All the way through amazing. Please check them out. None of these...

Song of the Day / The Killers New Single
So late last night the new single “Human” leaked to the seas of the internet, which means we can deliver it to you. I didn’t know what to think before I listened to it. With such an amazing previous album, one only assumes that the new work wont be that good. But if the rest of their new album (release date unknown) is as good as this single, then I can’t wait.

Not Your Average Treehouse
This shit is straight outta a Rudyyard Kipling novel. You can find this jewel known as the “Green Magic” in Kerala, India, and its almost 100 feet up in a Banyan tree with the monkeys. It has a double bed, full bathroom, and if you’re lucky enough to be a guest in this spot, servants hoist omelets and fried bananas up to you with a pulley system. It’s the only house on...

Song of the Day
Spade, an elder statesman of LA hip hop who taught kids like King Tee and DJ Alladin how to rhyme and spin in his Compton garage. Spade has one flow, a singsong baritone cadence that never varies whether he’s kicking cautionary tales (as on the equally-classic “Better Bring a Gun”) or murdering the “Genius of Love” beat. It doesn’t have to: it’s impossible to tire of. He’s loose, he’s...
