All this new 'Green' bullshit.

Thank you to Shell Oil for the 'DVD about how green you are' that came with my new issue of Seed. It went straight into the garbage.

PS: Because of your need to beat your chest about your green initiatives, the issue had to be polybagged, you dumb fucks.

Garfield Comics Minus Garfield

Matt Pruett sent me a link to these and changed my perspective on the genius of Garfield. It turns out that the only things keeping me from enjoying the strips were, well, Garfield, Odie, and that she-cat. Reveling in Jon's lonely antics make my life seem a little less schizophrenic and for that, I say thank you Jim Davis. And, thank you Garfield Minus Garfield.

Happy Dre Day! NWA Explicit content only mix!

Bar discovers smoking ban loophole. We are all actors and this barstool is a stage!

LAKE MILLE LACS - On a night when wind chills were expected to reach minus-40 or below, revelers hunkered down for a night of drinking at Barnacle's Resort, a popular winter redoubt for ice fishermen and snowmobilers on the north shore of Lake Mille Lacs.

Helmets and jackets were stuffed everywhere. A plastic kiddie pool full of crushed ice held red meat, which was raffled off throughout the night. Two tables of Texas Hold 'Em were full, and someone was telling the story of the night Minnesota Vikings fullback Jim Kleinsasser sat there - right there - in that very stool. Smoke wafted through the bar.

Wait ... smoke? As in cigarettes?

On this Saturday night, and every Saturday night going forward until someone tells them to stop, the owners at Barnacle's are allowing their customers to light up. It's not so much an act of civil disobedience against the statewide smoking ban as it is exploiting an exception that allows smoking as part of a theatrical production.

Exploring the Mysteries of The Arctic Quadrangle

Many of you know of my passion regarding the field of cryptozoology. What many of you may not know is that I've been lending some help to a group of 'scientists' who promote the exploration of our snow covered regions to uncover and prove or disprove certain paranormal activities unique to what has been dubbed The Arctic Quadrangle. Here's a teaser. For more information including Wallace A. Patton's treatise on The Arctic Quadrangle and a full color reference map. Visit ArcticQuadrangle.com

RIP - Dave Day. Electric Banjo Weilding Monk.

Sad news. Dave passed away this past week. When watching this footage of the Monks performing on German TV in 1966, I'm blown away at just about everything. The structure of the song, the feed back, the vocal styling, the aggression, the fun, and damnit, that electric banjo. As a long time Minnesota Beat fanatic, I'm so sad when another of our ravers passes on, but am happy to experience him in action. For more info: The Monks

David Lynch is right. Convenience is the new quality. . . and that is sad.

Thanks WFMU.
