OK, this is pretty funny. It goes along with a recent discussion I was having about the use of “fucking” as a way to determine the stressed syllables in a word (e.g., you can say “un-fucking-believable” or “unbe-fucking-lievable” but you can’t say “unbeliev-fucking-able”)
And now it looks like I have another webcomic to add to my reading list. Out-fucking-rageous.
Some pretty amazing stuff at the Corning Museum of Glass. Wonder if I could build a glass studio in the basement.
I’m not much of a Guy Fieri fan, but we stopped outside Cleveland for a late lunch at one of the places he featured – Melt Bar And Grilled – and this is what I got.
Om. Nom. Nom.
Also a very nice Kentucky bourbon-barrel ale.
Via the feed from the John Foxx & The Maths site, I found my way to Gazelle Twin.

I like. The bio makes her sound a bit like an intellectual, anti-pop Lady Gaga, with the costumes and masks and all, which comes off a little pretentious. (“Art with a capital ‘A'”? Really?)
But the music is strangely evocative (or perhaps evocatively strange). Check out the site’s interactive album, The Entire City, combining atmospheric electronica and ethereal, Kate Bush-like vocals with hypnotic video imagery. Blink and you’ll see something new.
I cannot tell you how happy I am that John Foxx is touring and making new music. Wishing the Interplay Tour had some US dates on it… maybe next time.
Supporting the tour: Tara Busch, who also makes some damn fine music.
This is a fascinating concept. Filmmaker makes a music video with the band’s permission, but as it begins to get popular on the Internet, the band yanks its permission and asks her to take the video down. She does, of course, but then releases the (soundless) video and invites the world to remix it.
I have no video editing tools (or skills) whatsoever, but I am interested to see what people come up with. I also wonder if the original band will regret their decision.
