Happy Mick Ronson's Birthday!

Around here we honor the folk who made our world a better place to live in. If Mick Ronson never touched a guitar I'd be a different person today. That's a fact.

Unnecessary Censorship: LOST Edition

Make Way For the Homo Superior

Here's an excerpt from a pretty interesting article that analyzes the works of David Bowie as if they are a religious text comparable to other religious texts.

Like Christ, Ziggy spreads a radical gospel of love. But while Christ admonishes his followers to abandon the nasty, brutish logic of the Mosaic world view (“eye for eye, and tooth for tooth”) and emulate his unconditional, turn-the-other-cheek love for all mankind (a message so revolutionary it convinces the apostle John that God, in a word, is love), Ziggy preaches a gospel of transcendental eros. “Let all the children boogie,” he decrees, in “Starman,” using a mothballed hippie verb that, back in the day, was a euphemism for doing the nasty.

In Ziggy’s erotic beatitude, the solitary self is consumed by an overmastering “idiot love”—a transport of sexual rapture that obliterates the boundaries of the conscious ego and “spark[s] the fusion,” in the song “Soul Love,” with…uh…the Cosmic Whatever. Is Ziggy’s space-hippie sermonizing about transcending adolescent alienation? Or hieing your astral ass off a dying planet through some orgasm-fueled transport of rapture? Bowie’s starman, a prophet who thinks with his crotch, isn’t big on specifics. All he knows is that “the church of man, love, is such a holy place to be,” a proverb that manages the neat trick of crossing eros with agape, reconciling them in the profane sacrament of soul love (“Moonage Daydream”).

As one of the LOST Elite, I want to give a disclaimer that this is not entirely accurate. But it's funny, and talks about creepy shots of Benjamin Linus, so I'll allow it.

Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull Volcano

Photographer Sean Stiegemeier was frustrated that there weren't better pictures of Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull Volcano, so he went there and shot this video.

I saw the video on Justin Metz's soquitcherbitchen blog and I just had to steal it.

LOST's Michael Emerson Makes Ordinary Phrases Sound Ominous

Muse "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)"

I think I might have to stop making fun of Twilight if those folks can keep getting Muse to make new music.

Superheros on Facebook

From the blog In Social I trust comes a brilliant take on what it would be like if Superheroes were just like us and had Facebook accounts.

Here are just a couple of exerpts from Superheros on Facebook.

S@#t My Kids Ruined

S@#t My Kids Ruined is a pretty interesting blog about the destructive power of children. Here's just a taste of the daily wonders of this site:

I've also found that S@#t My Kids Ruined is a brilliant test of how old you really are at heart. On the one hand, if you feel annoyed and even enraged that's a sure sign that you're an old soul. On the other hand, if you feel only inspiration then you're truly young at heart. I'm a cat lover, for example, but I'm half ready to raid a purse and find some nail polish this moment.

Flaming Lips "Fight Test"

Robot Unicorn Attack "Chase Your Dreams" Shirt

You probably remember when I linked you to the best flash game on the internet, Robot Unicorn Attack. Well, now there's apparel to match. According to [adult swim] shop, this t-shirt "begs you to slip it on and run like a technicolor maniac through the hills and valleys of your own secret desires." If you're anything like me, you're going to purchase this t-shirt here.

ATHF Ignignokt Green Knit Cap

I'd wear this thing. Check out the description from the [adult swim] shop:

Tired of the endless need to express your derision to everyone who looks at your face? Relax, Ignignokt has got you covered. When you put on the Ignignokt cap, you're not only keeping your head warm, you're letting those around you know that you find them contemptible, even by moon standards. And you're doing it with a fashionable air of dismissive superiority. And isn't that what you want most from your hat?

Interested? Buy it here.

Adam Friedli's Charlotte Bass Lessons

My little brother recently made an exodus to the beautiful town of Charlotte, North Carolina after graduating with a BM in Music History & Musicology from the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. His intention is to find some string bass students and start giving lessons, so he approached our mutual friend Adam Friedli, who you may remember from the art project "Rewriting History", to design a flier for attracting prospective students. The following picture is what resulted from the commission of this project:
