Best Album Cover of 2010?

I came across this album cover on indie music site Pitchfork today. The year's not over, so the jury is still out, but this might be a contender for "album cover of the year." Look at that little kitty cat, he's all ready for space exploration! I know nothing about Klaxons, or this album "Surfing The Void," but I'm tempted to go out and buy it just based on the hilarious cover.



As far as "worst cover of 2010" candidates go, this Jeff Beck album is an early front runner. It's almost so bad, it's good. This looks like something you would see airbrushed on the side of a 1978 Chevy van. What was he thinking?

That's One Hell of a Banana You Got There!!!

This has to be my favorite news stories of the whole year. I'll include all of The Seattle Times story below, but let me sum up this situation for you:

A couple of drunken buffoons get drunk as shit early in the day. They decide it would be fun to go driving around wearing a child's banana costume and expose their dicks to a woman eating in a Wendy's restaurant. They then proceed to drive to a ranch yelling incoherently while brandishing a shot gun. Holy shit, let's make a movie out of this! HA!

The Seattle Times Report:

Clallam County sheriff's deputies on Tuesday arrested a man dressed in a child's banana costume after he allegedly exposed himself to a woman at a Port Angeles restaurant.

According to the Peninsula Daily News, Carlton Jeffery Kohnert, 21, is suspected of exposing himself to a woman at a Port Angeles Wendy's restaurant and then driving through Four Seasons Ranch brandishing a shotgun. He was arrested for investigation of reckless endangerment, aiming or discharging a weapon and indecent exposure, Clallam County sheriff's Sgt. Randy Pieper tells the Daily News.

Pieper said Kohnert didn't offer much of an explanation for the yellow banana costume. "All we know is he was drinking earlier in the day, but he didn't really have a reason for the costume," Pieper told the Daily News.

My New Look

You may have noticed my blog looks a little different. I chose a format and font that I thought was easy to read, and concise. As tempted as I was to use photos of dragons, fire, laser beans and a bunch of other weird shit, I ultimately decided to just leave it nice and simple.

I'm all for feedback though. What do you think?

Use Drugs and Alcohol if You Wanna!

I drive by this sign on a daily basis and always got a good chuckle out of it. I absolutely love what the zero in quotations implies. I mean, they don't want you to use drugs and alcohol on the premises, but if you do, it's kind of hush hush. Wink wink.

I'm going to submit this photo to the wonderful "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks and see if they'll put it up.

Celebrity Twins: Number 6

An "associate" of mine at work was discussing "Goodspaceguy" with me and pointed out the fact that he "looks like Bunsen from The Muppets." I think she was right on with the comparison. By the way, who's your favorite Muppet? I always like Beaker, he couldn't really speak English, but made some pretty funny sounds while Bunsen was doing experiments.


Ah, that crazy Beaker!

Celebrity Twins: Number 5

It was brought to my attention that the lawyer at my work very much resembles Candice Bergen, actress from the television series "Murphy Brown." I kind of see the resemblance, but maybe it's just that whole "smiling business woman" in a suit look?

Celebrity Twins: Number 4

A little while back, I received an "anonymous tip" that my dear friend Bryan Chapple resembles one of the Jonas Brothers. I really don't see it, but I'd be interested for your feedback. I mean hell, Bryan's sexy, but he's not THAT sexy.


Man, these guys are TOOLS!

Damn That Thing Is Small!!!

Today, I received a shipment from China from an individual named "Minnie Wang." I envision a 450 pound dude with a 1/2 inch penis. But, that's just me.

Goodspaceguy RULES!

The more I learn about Michael "Goodspaceguy" Nelson, the more I like him. He might be described as slightly "eccentric," but shit, we've had worse politicians in office. I think today might be the deadline to mail in the ballot for Washington's elections, but I'm going to try to get mine in, as I really do want to support this dude.

He has a vision of the future, and I'm right there with him! He makes good points about the progress of space exploration, or the lack thereof. It seems that NASA has really stalled in their efforts to colonize the moon and planets, let alone get more space stations up there, and do more expolration. Goodspaceguy recognizes this, and wants to light a fire under their asses.



Take this classic video clip. Goodspaceguy compares King County's public transportation to a "high class hooker," then talks about "sky homes" as the future of cutting down on transportation. Sweet!

A Birthday Wish

My birthday is only 25 days away, and I would really like this shirt. You can buy it here. Thank you.

Don't Touch the Accidental Dick!

I received this photo a few days back in my inbox.

Upon opening the e-mail, I thought to myself, "that is one fine looking ACCIDENTAL DONG!"

EdStock 2010!!!

The annual party put on by Ed Andrea is this weekend, Saturday, August 14th in Sultan, WA. Last year was a great time with tons of live music, great food, drinking, camping and other "stuff."


Friends watch Bear Driving Car perform last year.

I'll be sure to "document" this year's EdStock. Let me know if you're interested in attending!

Harry Hwang

Today, I noticed that the next name on the list for a driver that delivers for a company called IDT was a guy who goes by:

"Dr. Harry Hwang."

That is all.

More Weird Al News!

I found this interesting little bit of information about the legendary "Weird Al" Yankovich:

"On August 28, 2009, Rolling Stone magazine released a fan poll that had asked readers to list their choices for who most deserves to be enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Weird Al was the overwhelming choice, ranking first, followed by Rush and The Moody Blues in the top ten."

How fantastic is that? "Weird Al" was the "overwhelming choice, ranking first."

People love this guy!
