Hello Dolly! Just happened to stumble upon these awesome live Spider Bags videos, portraying them in all their Raleigh North Carolina glory, playing a dive bar in new york only a few months ago. Crack a PBR and enjoy the shit out of this awesome 3 song set.

check out this video for old time spoken word artist Gil Scott-Herons new song “Me and The Devil”. Deliciously black and white skeletal skaters take to a dark and contrasted New York streets, set to a strangely infectious beat and the grumblings of Gil. The imagery fits nicely with lyrics like “bury my body, down by the riverside”. (via p4k)

Quick update, Jay Reatard has passed on as of 3:30 am yesterday morning. Reatard was a well respected garage punk from Memphis who played and lived fast. Despite quite the mean streak and a reputation for controversial outbursts Jay was a huge inspiration or me personally in the music that I play and I am deeply saddened by this loss. As facts start to surface Jay will either become a legend, or fearfully the punch line to the end of a cruel joke. Either way I will always respect him for all that he’s done. May his true eulogy be whiskey stained and set aflame.

check out this video for Double Daggers song “Vivre Sans Temps Mort” directed by Cat Solen. Completely made with still photography and stop animation, a thrilling ride through the life of a small Asian model maker. Although they’ve been around for quite some time and with Pitchfork treating them like a handicapped grandchild I will say Double Dagger is a band to watch out for, minimal punk consisting of a bass, some drums and an anxious singer yelping to the heavens. Enjoy.

Does anyone else ever have those moments when you find out a particular piece of information and can’t believe that you weren’t aware of it already? Not because it is something you would have liked to have known, but because it falls within a subject that you hear or read a lot about and you really should have come across it earlier. Well, I had one of those moments today, and I’d like to introduce you to the bird so scary it doesn’t need to fly, the ninja of New Guinea, the third largest bird in the world, heir to the throne of Gondor, the Cassowary.
If you were to walk through the rainforests of New Guinea or northwestern Australia you’d probably never lay eyes on one of these cockatrice-like monsters, since they prefer to work incognito and will stealthily split when they hear a human coming. Well, most of the time they will split. If one chooses to stick around you can consider yourself unlucky enough to see firsthand why the Cassowary is notorious amongst the locals for having a very short fuse. In fact, they hold the world record for being the most dangerous bird alive today (by today I mean 2007). One little tidbit I got from the wikipedia page, where I admittedly got most my information on this bird, says that during WWII, troops stationed in New Guinea were told to stay away from the Cassowaries because of how aggressive they can be. These are fully grown men with guns that are trained to kill other fully grown men with guns, but they better stay away from old crazy eyes over there or shit is going to get real ugly real fast.
The cassowary isn’t just dangerous because it is mean. It is less akin to a schoolyard bully than it is to a highly trained martial artist. You know that crazy master in Kill Bill who had that technique where he would hit someone a couple times and then their heart would explode after they took a few steps? Well the cassowary has a similar technique. What it does is kick you in the stomach, then a little bit later you die of an intestinal rupture.
I would like to drop some more scientific facts, maybe do some comparisons to the other flightless birds of today or gastornis, phorusrhacos, and the terror birds of ancient South America. However, most of the spare minutes I had to research and write this I spent watching this video over and over.

now is not the time to start talking about KMD, although I’d love to discuss them.
here are a few facts I know are true about KMD though:
KMD stands for Kausing Much Damage, or A Positive Kause in a Much Damaged Society
They where a hip hop group in the early 1990’s.
Launched the career of Zev Love X, also known as M.F Doom.
The group only officially released one studio full length “Mr. Hood” in 1991, although they recorded “Black Bastards” in 1993 for a intended release.
They’re music is notoriously hard to track down.
It may be some of the best hip hop I’ve ever heard.
I think you’ll agree.

Just an example of how real “shit” gets
and that should bring us right up to date
