Firstly I should note that I own aDysonVacuum. Of course it’s amazing. I believe it cost $150 more than my LCD TV and I’m glad I didn’t have to buy it myself. (No, my parents didn’t buy it for me either!)
I’m convinced that the Henry Ford of Brits, James Dyson, must be an alien. First he perfects the vacuum with cyclonic technology after every company he brought it to laughed him out of the room and now he’s perfected the FAN as well with the Dyson Air Multiplier. After a bit of a tease concerning the “next household item perfected” his website revealed the product and soon collapsed under the weight of the Eastern World checking it out. (BTW WAKE UP, AMERICA! You’re missing a technological breakthrough while the limeys are having their tea and biscuits [they really mean cookies but they don't say anything right]) The Air Multiplier (not a D&D spell!) has NO BLADES and produces a steady breeze instead of the “Choppy” job that every fan has done since DaVinci took a swing. All of the sudden regular fans have become the bullshit invention that the Cathode Ray Tube Television now is. Who wants that crap when this crap has been perfected and made out of gray and purple plastic with an LED? BOOM! You’re welcome world! James & Co. figured it out. What’s next? The matressless bed.
Hey, JD, how about you hook us up with The Hoverboard already!
KAV (myspace.com/kavsonic) is a person as well as a band. Kav himself was the guitarist for the reformed HAPPY MONDAYS, legendary in the UK. KAV, the band, just got off the road from a destructively brilliant week of shows with upstarts Esserand high-energy DATAROCK.
Tonight KAV will be at Spaceland (1717 Silverlake Blvd, LA) for KROQ’s “Locals Only” FREE MONDAYS with October Residents: LightFM as well as Obi Best and Wrong Way Driver. Like I said this is a FREE SHOW so stop down and enjoy some music from across the pond!
Is there such a thing as coke flashbacks? I totally just made that one up.
I thought this was a pretty sick live performance. It was like my wet dream music fantasy megamix. The Boys were honored with the “Outstanding Contribution” award. Nice and vague. And I’ll be honest, Lady GaGa is totally my guilty pleasure. I don’t care if she made her outfit out of china plates, wears bows made of hair, or non-pants outfits. She’s fucking wierd and a little off-looking and I dig it. I dig her look, her songs, her videos…so there.
Brandon Flowers sounded like shit. But man, that was a rad performance. It’s the bloody Pet Shop Boys, sweetie darling.
I think that Katy Perry is a manufactured celebrity. Just a few years ago she was gay for Jesus and putting out bad records under her given name Katy Hudson. A Capitol Record$ fronted producer and image consultant gang-bang later and she’s all over your radio and the stinking corpse of MTV with her gayploitative songs and turquoise Wayfarers. Her music is crap, her music career is probably over after this album. “I Kissed A Girl” isn’t an original song title or concept, it isn’t nearly as clever as Jill Sobule’s (who I once gave a bunch of weed to but that’s besides the point). She’s as boring as her boyfriend and she gives bi girls a bad name.
When some bands finish their summer tour, they destroy their guitars. Breaking bones seemed to be the choice of Brit electro-rockers Does It Offend You, Yeah? who performed a smashing set at the Troubadour in West Hollywood tonight. Being a very gracious member of Sony’s guest list (thanks Nikki!) I snagged these few photos…unfortunately all the bubble gum and scotch tape that I have holding my Casio together is not doing the trick and I am now purchasing a new camera for my show going debaucheries. (Sponsorship? Nikon? Canon? …Poloroid? Nobody?)
Lee Spievak lost the tip of his finger to a model airplane’s propellor. His brother just happens to be involved in Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine. So like any good bro he sent him some magical pixie dust made from pig guts (like so many other magical pixie dusts are made from). Within a month the rest of his finger grew back… including his fingerprint.
I find their name insulting, maybe. Like I don’t know, people get off work at 5 O’Clock? It reminds me that I have shitty hours and they probably lay around all day being British doing cocaine and getting free clothes.
I always wished I had a twin (male or female). My first name is actually derived from the Aramaic word for “Twin” (I’ll let you google that yourself). You can call me weird, label me a pervert if you must (you were going to anyway). But there is something twisted, yet endearing (and kinda hot) about this story:
LONDON -Twins who were separated at birth got married without realizing they were brother and sister… They were never told that they were twins. They met later in life and felt an inevitable attraction, and the judge had to deal with the consequences of the marriage that they entered into and all the issues of their separation.
How weird would it be to meet someone with whom you have EVERYTHING in common? Seriously Everything. Unless you were told that you were twins I would have to assume that it would seem like ANY love story. And how weird should a story like this actually be today? Soon enough having two sexes will be obsolete, anyway. Genetically, I TOTALLY AGREE THAT ITS WRONG! I took college Sociology (twice I think?) and understand the ideas about genetic diversity and all of that. But then again I don’t believe that ANYBODY should really be breeding right now.
But really, whatever, unless they breed… to each their own.
In this case, literally.
