WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE

i feel like these people "get" me

it appears that punk is not dead afterall

from OldNavy.com:
"Let the revolution begin with you. Our "punk" graphic tees allude to the do-it-yourself aesthetic of the original movement."

Standing at the precipice of revolution, I pause to reflect: will this t-shirt save the world, or destroy it?

worship of the object

Since Steve Ditko's original artwork for 1962's "Amazing Fantasy 15" — the first appearance of the Spider-Man — was donated to the Library of Congress in April, a new breed of researcher has been spotted at the library.

"I've never, ever had researchers have their picture taken with works of art, until now," said Sara W. Duke, a curator of popular and applied graphic art at the library. "It's almost like a worship of the object that goes on."

Two people with no plans to visit, however, are the webslinger's creative team: writer/editor Stan Lee and artist Ditko.

"I'm just too busy," said Lee, 85, in an interview from his California offices. "Plus, I've already seen them. I'm not someone who lives in the past too much."

Ditko, 80, was more abrupt. When reached at his Manhattan studio, he would only say: "I couldn't care less."

ok so right until this moment I did not realize there was an alternate, way cooler Steve Ditko version of the AF15 cover. I mean, look at that fucking thing. It is beautiful. On the basis of this alone I am tempted to declare that Ditko was a superior artist to Jack Kirby, but I don't want to get crazy here.

what if I got a tattoo of this

welp folks I am into Crystal Castles now

This is the product of a day wasted gawking at hipster music blogs.

but man, oh man

other music I listened to today:

I asked a friend last night if she likes The Black Lips, and she answered, "you mean... like Obama's?"



This is Miley Cyrus. She is like that dude from The Killers, but less glamorous.

I am tired of stylish Barack gear

like this:


and this:



I often see aging black couples wearing matching t-shirts like this:


and I congratulate them for their authenticity.

hey carville

nice kicks

this is a chair

here's to 100 posts as fascinating as this one

recently I learned that the PiL song "Death Disco" is properly called "Swan Lake". I haven't yet decided if I should change the name of the blog to reflect this.

for some reason I am suddenly really into videos

DRAGONS

oh I will so own this one day

they are seriously making a fucking Voltron movie

in a recent interview, Alan Moore remarked that pretty soon we'd probably see Johnny Depp starring in the film version of Cap'n Crunch

that said, this is excellent news. Voltron is the king of robots -- I have nothing but respect for Optimus Prime but Voltron would crush him beneath his lion-shaped foot

in some ways this seems unfair

this is a political blog

fuck you British Invasion

I was just looking at the weekly last.fm charts, and they are completely dominated by British bands. To put this in perspective, here is what British rock stars look like:



Disgraceful. To help tip the scales back in favor of freedom, I resolve to listen to nothing but American rock and roll for the rest of the week. Here is what American rock stars look like:

a carefully considered review of "Conor Oberst"

the first song is great and the rest of it sucks

hope that helps!

why so cereal?

I'm not gonna lie -- when I opened that cereal box, I was hoping for the Joker.

now I either have to eat a twenty pound box of Cheerios or admit that I paid five dollars for a Batman toy that is slightly larger than my thumb
