It starts with sewage, then flies. We’ll employ them in our sewers. They’ll gain a penchant for rats, or the occasional cat. Next thing you know, your childrens’ piercing cries will rattle your brain as their bones are splintered by the razor fangs of a goddamned toaster.
Any worldview, religions, system of faith, and / or theory of why the world is the way it is — why the world works the way it does — must account for this terrible creation of nature:
It’s pretty great that Pitchfork allows their writers to maintain individual voice and creatively express themselves in their record reviews. It is also true that the Chicago-based “small business pop music” publication’s editorial staff wields considerable power in both the numerical scores for their reviews as well as the thrust of the Pitchfork aesthetic narrative.

Sadly, this little piece of nerd candy isn’t an actual program of any kind; it’s a demo real for the new Adobe CS5. Still… I mean, I’d watch this. Wouldn’t you? Magic! The Olde Tymes! Cowboys! WWII! Those ship designs are sick! (Trailer after the jump.)

This time of year marks the LA Music Festival season. Sunset Junction, Eagle Rock Music Fest, FYF Fest… and the Port of LA Lobster Fest. The 2010 Port of Lobster Festival lineup is announced, and boy is it a doozy…
I finally saw Inception. Oof, that’s how you make an entertaining movie. I’m not sure when the last time was that I walked-out of the theatre so satisfied. As far as I’m concerned, it ought to be the first serious contender for Best Picture 2010.
