Danny Elfman, of the old “alternative”—back when that word meant something—pop/rock band Oingo Boingo and the composer of scores for many motion pictures, started a group (political, not musical) to stop Sarah Palin . This is the online version of an ad they're trying to get on the air over the weekend. Spread it around.

Anybody who’s still aching for the Xperia X1 to slide its way to their region might want to look away, else see the guts of their beloved handset splayed out like some sort of science project. A gent going by Cyk1 has slapped on a pair of white gloves (classy), grabbed the closest guitar pick [...]

Dudes — you got me so excited for Halloween. I love hearing what you're all going to be! I'm diving into mine full force now — you'll have to wait and see the outcome though.

Had this since 1990 when I went to the Halloween Concert. I remember buying this pin instead of a concert shirt for some reason (maybe I knew I would have a place to show it off 18 years later). The pin was designed by Georgeanne Deen.

Skafish - Sink or Swim (mp3) I'm not sure how regular a feature this will be. It's not like I have that massive a record collection. But I can at least keep it going for a few months. Skafish , a "quirky" new wave band much weirder than Devo or Oingo Boingo, have been making the rounds on the blogs lately. Joe at Last Days posted the amazing "Disgracing the Family Name" 7" , then Egg City Radio threw...

Director Tim Burton has long been known for his dark sensibilities: even his most lighthearted films, like Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, feature accomplished touches of the macabre. But one peculiar thing about Burton is that he seems to surround himself — or somehow spawn — collaborators that have the same tendencies, creating a cottage [...]
