Ricky Tic in 'Ricky Tic & the Nazi'

...and don't forget Ricky Tic in 'How Germany Lost The War'

Notice also the painting on the wall of the flying 'thing' from the back of Ricky Tic's jacket which has been described as "like a pitbull body with fish fins and a horse’s head with doberman ears and a human ass being penetrated by the small end of a baseball bat.." LOL!

More on Phillip Garrido

"...Phillip Garrido has been named as a "person of interest" by investigators looking back at the unsolved murders. However, questions are also mounting about why the authorities did not take a greater interest in Garrido and his wife in recent years. In 2006, the police received an emergency call in which the caller said Garrido was housing children "in tents in his backyard" and also accused him of being a "psychotic sex addict". Despite this, the police never searched behind his house...It has also emerged that since last December officials, including parole agents and sheriff's deputies, had visited the couple some 16 times for a variety of reasons yet had failed to detect anything was wrong..."

If you enter his home address of 'Walnut Avenue, Antioch California' into Google Earth and follow the road away from it you can see

Might As Well - The Persuasions Sing The Grateful Dead (2000)
Dead a cappella
With only their collective voices, The Persuasions can turn almost any musical composition into smooth, groovin' doo-wop or gospel. They also have fun stretching the boundaries at the same time. It wasn't all that surprising with Frankly a cappella - The Persuasions Sing Zappa (their Frank Zappa covers disc) because doo-wop was such a crucial building block in Frank's early constructions. But the Grateful Dead? Those guys were into bluegrass and banjo music back when the Persuasions were first conceptualizing their stylistic blend of street corner harmonics and black-centric doo-wop. Since then, The Persuasions have transcended those root styles to encompass various musical genres, incorporating proper instrumentation when it serves their purpose (as in the gospel-tinged piano work in "Ship Of Fools," below). You like The Dead? You like a cappella? You should like this, even if you never really listen that much to either. (@320)

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!
