I like her better when she walks away

I will be off to Spain for 2 weeks so I will not be posting but HM will treat you right and hopefully we will have a guest poster-type person for your reading enjoyment. Enjoy it all.

Racheal wants you to put your hands down your pants and...well just click and find out. You may need to hit the refresh button once or twice. For some reason that's what I had to do.

MurderBall. New Movie. Looks awesome.

Music Videos for you to watch.

A revisit to PJ's No Code.

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Norway Funnymen. Hurra Torpedo. good but not even half as funny as The Dan Bands version although there is something to be said for butt crack.

Microsoft getting ready for music subscription service.

A collection of Apple getting into bed with intel articles.

Interview with CD Baby's founder Derek Sivers.

Rockers rocking out for the kiddies.

MTV reports: Perry Farrell's newest band, the Satellite Party — which includes former Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and world-music percussionist Gabriele Corcos — will be performing at this summer's two-day Lollapalooza (July 23-24) in Chicago

Detroit's answer to "Nevermind"? So they claim. Jack White of the White Stripes side project with Brendon Benson.

press release reports:
Commitment-phobic co-dependents rejoice! Mr. & Mrs. Smith: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, out June 7 on Lakeshore Records, is the album of and for dysfunctional relationships. Following the film's story of a married couple who lead double lives as spies - and have been hired to kill each other - the album mirrors the passion and tension between stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt with a choice selection of love and anti-love songs.
The love/hate relationship is played out on the album with a mix of classic, unreleased and exclusive songs. The classics include the J. Geils Band anthem "Love Stinks," Poison's "Nothin' But A Good Time," Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" and Air Supply's "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" (Pitt sings along to the latter in the film's climactic car chase). Consisting of 17 tracks, the album contains all the songs from the film's most memorable moments, including the scorching sex scene between Pitt and Jolie, played out to Magnet's sensual cover of the classic Bob Dylan song "Lay, Lady, Lay." Add to this new covers of such timeless love songs as Modern English's "I Melt With You" (by contemporary French art-popsters Nouvelle Vague), countered with the over-the-top rendition of Bon Jovi's "You Give Love A Bad Name" by Victory Records' exploding new metal/screamcore band Atreyu, and the album stands alone as the perfect summer-love party mix. 8 mm contribute an exclusive cover of "Nobody Does it Better," adding a woozy yet orchestral twist to the theme from the classic James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me," and the Voodoo Glow Skulls take on Guns N' Roses "Used to Love Her (But I had to Kill Her).

Radiohead have broken the silence over their new album. Thom Yorke has told nme.com sessions for their new album remind him of working on "Kid A". The band recently regrouped to start rehearsing and recording new songs for the follow-up to 2003's "Hail To The Thief".
The album, not due until next year, will be the band's seventh. Thom said that early sessions had seen the band changing the way they work, reminding him of the change between 1997 LP "OK Computer" and "Kid A". He said: "It's going well. It's a bit like "Kid A" - we're going through a period of change. But that's good. We'll get there".
I want my Bends back. Please rediscover the guitar boys. Please.

Supersize Me continued. Or maybe extended?

Every Video Game. On online.

you don't want to miss Buns of Steel. Now that is talent.

You are a sniper protecting a house. Storm the house.

the title of the post is "Castanets" by Alejandro Escovedo. Los Lonely Boys do a good version of it on Por Vida which was a Tribute to AE for Medical and Living Expenses.




More later--much later--in two weeks or so. Enjoy.

Have a great time in Spain, don't get in a tomato fight or chased by bulls.

No Code?, still probably my favorite PJ album of all time.

yes luckily the running of the bulls isn't until after I leave so I wouldn't be tempted. I know what would happen. The tomato thing though could be a great "ugly american" event.

Be nice to Pezman and see you soon.
