Mondo Topless recently announced a bunch of dates, including this Friday in Baltimore at The Side Bar. I’d go if I was in town.

R.I.P. Eartha Kitt
In honor of Eartha Kitt’s demise today, here’s a version of Santa Baby I found on Youtube:
Friday Five: FishInnards Edition
Today is Husband’s birthday so I thought I’d do a special FishInnards Friday Five edition.
Husband’s website is fishinnards because once upon a time he asked me to register a name for him and I asked him what name he wanted and he said, “Surprise me.” I didn’t think of it entirely on my own, however, I was inspired by this truly horrendous smelling fish innards curry he made on morning to take to the monks at the Thai Temple. Despite the fish innard curry, he’s a very good cook, which is good because I’m not.
Hey – here’s his blog post with the recipe. I just read his notes at the top of the recipe and had a laugh, Husband is the master of understatement: “It kinda stank up the house in a weird way.” Um, yeah.
You will note the recipe doesn’t contain either the imaginary ingredient “curry” nor the yucky grocery store concoction known as “curry powder.” If you ever want to see Husband turn several shades of purple, pretend that there’s one common ingredient in all of the curries of the world (there isn’t) and that you don’t like it. For advanced fun, tell him all curries taste the same. Then you should prepare to sit a spell, because you’re in for a very long lecture.
When Husband isn’t feeding me in the manner I’ve become accustomed (read: no fishinnard-based food stuffs), he makes music with his current band, Astroknotics. We’re supposed to be recording a project of our own, but we haven’t even started it, so I won’t link to that because it doesn’t exist yet except in my head, but you really don’t want to go rooting around in there.
He also produces the Indiefeed Dance channel, which itunes put on their “best of 2008” list for audio podcasts, so it must be good!
He’s also DJ to the beautiful people, and he shares his schedule and also the occasional mix with the rest of us via his myspace.
This is a really boring post, isn’t it? I was going to list some of the other things he’s really good at, but this being a family-friendly website, I won’t. Wait, it’s not family friendly at all. Ah well, that’s none of your business, anyway.
Have a nice weekend, kids!
Checkers
I believe I’ve finally scrubbed all of the historical political speeches from my ipod. I’m such a political nerd I had hours and hours of them, but no matter what I did I couldn’t keep them out of the shuffle. Nothing wrecks the rhythm of a run more than having your ipod shuffle from White Zombie to Richard Nixon.
memo to China
The New York Daily News reports, “Chinese media calls Guns ‘N Roses ‘Chinese Democracy’ an attack”. Someone should clue the Chinese in that they’re right, it is an attack: on good taste and musicianship. I’ve listened to bits and pieces of the album and what I’ve heard is every bit as awful as the reviews claim. Allison Stewart’s review in the Post was pretty hilarious, although it does contain a few passing bits of kindness that I’m doubtful the album actually deserves.
I have to ask, what the fuck is Axl Rose, who was already pretty gross in my book, wearing on his head?
Has anyone notified Cher that he’s gotten hold of one of her wigs? Did he lose a bet? Join a cult? Let Madonna and the Jonas Brothers get wasted and dress him up in stuff they found on a dumpster-diving expedition? I just don’t understand the statement he’s trying to make with that “look.” I know it’s better not to think about these things, but it’s a nice diversion from watching the mayhem on Wall Street.
