The Electric Bath Duck
You know the drill – fill a bath tub with water,
stand in it, turn on the hair dryer, and drop it into the water to
escape from the pain of this world. The Electric Bath Duck takes a more
humorous look at the subject of suicide, and comes in the form of the
traditionally cute yellow bath toy. Only those who are older than 18
will be able to purchase this, but we seriously don’t expect anyone to
actually use it. Remember, there is always a bright light at the end of
the tunnel, and suicide is definitely the wrong way out of a difficult
situation. Talk to a friend or counsellor, they’ll be able to help you
overcome your struggles. In the meantime, take a bath with a wireless
Bath Duck to soothe the day’s tension away.

R.E.M., Fox News & Losing My Religion
R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" was used in the Fox News coverage of the
Democratic National Convention last night. R.E.M. today, through its
music publisher, Warner-Tamerlane Music, demanded that Fox News cease
and desist from continuing its unlicensed and unauthorized use of the
song. Michael Stipe said, "We have little or no respect for their puff
adder brand of reportage. Our music does not belong there."

give (Obama) eight years. He cleaned up half the shit in four
years realistically,"

She also spoke about the job creation and economic recovery policies enacted under President Obama.

Best Greenpeace protest photo you’ll see today

Chuck warns of the 'thousand year darkness' of 'socilism'
Why Chuckles, is that your KKK robes hanging up behind you?
Factcheck:
- All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
- This is probably the most quoted statement attributed to Burke, and an extraordinary number of variants of it exist, but all without any definite original source. These very extensively used remarks may be based on a paraphrase of some of Burke's ideas, but he is not known to have ever declared them in so succinct a manner in any of his writings. They may have been adapted from these lines of Burke's in his Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents (1770): "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
- This purported quote bears a resemblance to the narrated theme of Sergei Bondarchuk's Soviet film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's book "War and Peace", in which the narrator declares "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing", although since the original is in Russian various translations to English are possible.
- More research done on this matter is available at these two links: Burkequote & Burkequote2 — as the information at these links indicate, there are many variants of this statement, probably because there is no clearly definitive original by Burke. Via

REPost: Rock Magic: William S. Burroughs & Jimmy Page (Crawdaddy June 1975)
...I felt that these considerations could form the basis of my talk with Jimmy Page, which I hoped would not take the form of an interview. There is something just basically wrong about the whole interview format. Someone sticks a mike in your face and says, "Mr. Page, would you care to talk about your interest in occult practices? Would you describe yourself as a believer in this sort of thing?" Even an intelligent mike-in-the-face question tends to evoke a guarded mike-in-the-face answer. As soon as Jimmy Page walked into my loft downtown, I saw that it wasn't going to be that way.HERE

Sound (1966)
Directed by Dick Fontaine.
Although Rahsaan Roland Kirk and John Cage never actually meet in this film (Cage's enigmatic questions about sound are intercut with some of Kirk's more ambitious experiments with it) these two very different musical iconoclasts share a similar vision of the boundless possibilities of music. Kirk plays three saxes at once, switches to flute, incorporates tapes of birds played backwards, and finally hands out whistles to his audience and encourages them to accompany him, "in the key of W, if you please." Cage, on the other hand, is preparing a work for musical bicycle with David Tudor and Merce Cunningham at the Seville Theatre in London. Cage meets Rahsaan's music in an echo chamber, and he ends his search for the sound of silence in his favorite spot -- the anechoic chamber -- where it turns out to be the uproar of "your nervous system in operation."

Pahnl: The Sound Of Stenciling
The making of a stencil painting.
I have been stenciling since 2003 and I thought it was about time I
gave people a little insight into how I work. Cutting stencils isn't a
spectacle, it's done in solitude and so I think a lot of my friends,
artist or not, will find this interesting.The painting featured in the video is titled 'And I'm Not Going To Take This Anymore'. Photos and more details about the piece can be found at pahnl.co.uk/store/anymore.php
