Ever catch yourself inadvertently singing along to your iPod in public? Maybe you let slip a little air guitar as you’re walking down the street? No? Well, maybe you should stop bottling up your happiness and be a bit more like this guy we keep seeing around, who either loves "Billie Jean" or is some sort of 25th anniversary of Thriller guerrilla marketing campaign. Try to avoid being like this other guy, who spooks us as much as he scares himself.

Everyone likes a soft sweater to wear on a Sunday when you’re reading the papers over brunch. But who knew that wool could be so sinful? Imagine our surprise when someone sent us a link to the French mohair fetish forum. These guys just want to be smothered and mummified in knitted gimp suits and fucked with crocheted condoms. Hey, we’re down with elaborate fetishes, but where do these people find the time to put together their costumes? Shit, knitting a scarf can take at least two years.
Well, this blows. We were all jazzed up to tell you about David Yow’s show with Miracle Condition tonight/last night in Brooklyn, but now all we’ve got is bad news and a couple photos of that dude from US Maple’s goofy fucking guitar stance. Evidently David was taken to the hospital a few hours ago with a collapsed lung. That’s all anybody knows right now, but we’re sure there’ll be some news by morning and probably a solicitation from some money at some point, so keep checking back here for updates. For the time being, here’s our favorite live clip of Yow with the Jesus Lizard (besides the one where he gets clocked with the bottle, and the other one where he catches the bottle in mid-air without even looking at it)…

Jens Lekman has been living in Melbourne recently and happened to be at our friend’s studio when we dropped by yesterday. He’s about to leave for a European tour but told us that he first plans to stop by Stockholm to sort out a wee problem that has arisen in his absence over a music award he received at a ceremony recently.
This is the second installment in our ongoing series of short fiction by Jocko Weyland. It’s called "Jesus Didn’t Have Tattoos" and it’s another one of those ultrashort stories he does. We don’t have anything else to say about it, really we just wanted to fill up this space so we could put the whole story on the second page instead of breaking it up into separate paragraphs. Or "after the jump" as they say…
Harpooning a whale is a sacrilege perhaps only eclipsed by stabbing a pregnant panda with an elephant tusk dagger while wearing a gorilla fur coat. Before you call Greenpeace let us point out that this whale was not caught commercially. It was hunted by Jonathan Harris and the Inupiat Eskimos he stayed with in Barrow, Alaska. He took over 3,000 photographs during his 9-day journey, beginning with the taxi ride to the airport and ending with the butchering of a 38-foot Bowhead whale on the frozen Arctic Ocean. We asked Jonathan to tell us a bit more about the hunt…
One of our favourite nights, Cocadisco, returns tonight to The Dolphin pub on Mare Street in Hackney, east London, from 9 PM-4 AM. The last two in there have been pretty wild and now this one promises to be even better. Tonight’s guest DJs include the one and only William Benetti, the Italo-disco legend who played his first gig at a Mafia-controlled pizzeria in Vigevano, Northern Italy, way back in 1980, and hot-to-trot upstart Nightmoves, who’s done some stuff on Kitsune and also happens to be celebrating his birthday tonight. So come down and bring him a present.
I went to Mexico last year and after dividing my time evenly between Mexico city, the inland mountainous region of Oaxaca (pronounced Wahuka) and the sea, just south of Cancun, I can testify to the fact that it’s one hell of a diverse, interesting and inspiringly fun place to visit. The people are intriguing, the food is unbelievable, there’s a bunch of great galleries and art and the markets are strange and plentiful. In fact just writing about it makes me want to go back really badly.

When we made our third wish “To make Goofy a real guy,” we were kind of bummed to see it happen. Then he goes, “What did you expect? Goofy’s a fucking idiot,” and that changed it all around.

This got sent to us in the spirit of “Look at this stupid white trash” but, um, fuck you. What on earth is wrong with a mom and dad who are so goofy that they wear matching baggy-jeans-and-ass-crack t-shirts to the Strawberry Festival? This is our family.
