New Thom Yorke 12" due Sept 22

Nothing like (possible) news of even more new material from those busy Radiohead guys. According to an Exclaim! report (via TwentyFourBit), Thom Yorke is set to release a limited edition 12" featuring two new songs called "Apart by Horses" and "The Hollow Earth" September 22 via TBD. And limited means limited; the story claims only about 8,000 copies of the vinyl-only release will be available worldwide.

There's no official word on this release just yet, but it seems to fall in line with those Twilight soundtrack rumors and the modest bounty of new material put forth by the Radiohead camp lately, including the stealthy leak "These Are My Twisted Words", the string-y tribute "Harry Patch (In Memory Of)", and Yorke's cover of Mark Mulcahy's "All for the Best".

Meanwhile, Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief were reissued last week, too.

More on Blackwater/Xe

Erik D Prince

"When the CIA revived a plan to kill or capture terrorists in 2004, the agency turned to the well-connected security company then known as Blackwater USA. With Blackwater's lucrative government security work and contacts arrayed in hot spots around the world, company officials offered the services of foreigners supposedly skilled at tracking terrorists in lawless regions and countries where the CIA had no working relationships with the government. Blackwater told the CIA that it "could put people on the ground to provide the surveillance and support – all of the things you need to conduct an operation," a former senior CIA official familiar with the secret program told The Associated Press..."

Random ham radio trollfight: August 29 2009 Los Angeles CA

Two trolls on ham radio, one identified as "G-K," the other as "Robert" or "R-J" overheard accidentally on August 29, 2009, while surfing first responder frequencies during the August 2009 Los Angeles wildfires.

The two men argued with each other about various technical subjects of interest to radio ops, then discussed drugs and past jail time, then notes on an Andy Griffith show marathon, then torture they'd like to perform on each other.

Technical note: sorry about the audible LOLs -- a friend held the scanner in their lap, and I held my iPhone 3Gs above the scanner, using "voice memo" app to record the audio.

Boing Boing comment thread on the item here and this is G-K!

'Animal Cam'

The Museum of Animal Perspectives sticks cameras on the heads of animals and uploads the resulting videos to Flickr. I'm fond of the armadillocam, but wolfcam and cowcam are pretty cool too. Ooh! Pigcam! Goatcam! Cow licking own rearcam!
