Arcane Luv – Waylon Thornton and The Heavy Hands
What do you get when you kidnap the B-52s, stuff them inside a well-worn Marshall cabinet with loose wiring and force them to perform? You get this song. Which is really fucking great. Here’s how you should listen to it:
- While eating Froot Loops™ out of a bowl made from a human skull
- Loudly at the stop lights in your Cadillac (you should wink at a pretty girl too)
- In the middle of a bank robbery or shoot-out
For more Waylon Thornton and The Heavy Hands head to White Moon Recordings and download a whole bunch of their records for nix. They’re also on Bandcamp.
“ Now we know what stunt they were talking about. Last week TMZ reported that a scene that forced contestants to drink donkey semen had been hotly debated — and then given the thumbs-up — by NBC. The scene was taped last summer. “Producers typically make the case to network censors that a gross food item on the show is always a delicacy in some part of the world (horse semen is consumed in Australia and New Zealand),” Entertainment Weekly said.”
Either I’ve been missing out on a whole part of gourmet culture or someone’s telling porky-pies.
“ Grown-ups, here are the harsh tokes: We are the ones who made brands out of every nostalgic pop culture totem from Tootsie Rolls to Beavis and Butt-Head. We are the ones who started the irrational obsession with the concept of branding, by reading our copies of No Logo and lobbying for bike lanes while driving our Subarus to Starbucks. (It’s embarrassing when the worst cliché about your peer group is actually true.) We are a generation of both thumb-twiddling and eye-gouging ambition, who spent half of the ’90s resenting the boomers — for soaking up all of the riches and leaving us the scraps — and the other half thrashing around in the deep end of online enterprise.”
Maryam Sanati - Brand Me
“ What people haven’t seemed to notice is that on earth, of all the billions of species that have evolved, only one has developed intelligence to the level of producing technology. Which means that kind of intelligence is really not very useful. It’s not actually, in the general case, of much evolutionary value. We tend to think, because we love to think of ourselves, human beings, as the top of the evolutionary ladder, that the intelligence we have, that makes us human beings, is the thing that all of evolution is striving toward. But what we know is that that’s not true. Obviously it doesn’t matter that much if you’re a beetle, that you be really smart. If it were, evolution would have produced much more intelligent beetles.”
“ Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite:”
“Fool,” said my muse to me, “look in thy heart, and write.

“ Here’s what I do. I get on Amazon; I type in ‘Liberal books’. I go through and I say ‘one star, one star, one star’. The flipside is you go to a conservative/ libertarian whatever, go to their products and give them five stars … This is where your kids get information: Rotten Tomatoes, Flixster. These are places where you can rate movies. So when you type in ‘Movies on healthcare’, I don’t want Michael Moore’s to come up, so I always give it bad ratings. I spend about 30 minutes a day, just click, click, click, click … If there’s a place to comment, a place to rate, a place to share information, you have to do it. That’s how you control the online dialogue and give our ideas a fighting chance.”
Austin James

Icky.
“ Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me … they live in their heads. They’re almost like artists. In fact, the very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone …. I’m going to give you some advice that might be hard to take. That advice is: Work alone… Not on a committee. Not on a team.”
The Woz as quoted in The New Groupthink
Long live the cubicle.
