Whoa. There’s some serious WTF**kage here. Here’s a blowed-up and enhanced version:

There’s so much voodoo here I don’t know where to begin. Besides the Demon Cow ressurected by lightning and the Skull and Crossbones Medusa, there’s Michael Frank, a hoodoo man and a ninja turtle. At lower right is the scariest by far: Alfalfa as Dame Edna with a Darth Vader/Troll mask.

Nope. I’m not even gonna touch the doorbell… just back away slowly and hope the demons don’t follow us into the Overnight Open Thread.

    Well, Jack, the Ninja Turtle eating the ploome is a nice touch. Or is a Slim Jim? Hard to tell.

    The four snaked Medusa is ruined by the big balled bones. However she is reminiscent of the default avatars given here when one doesn’t have one on the ready.

    Omen? Something to think about Jack.

    I’m thinking of cancelling my subscription to the Financial Times. Look at this piece of crappola

    Chinese and Saudis lead way in internet use

    People in China and the Middle East are the busiest and most enthusiastic internet users, a study of the world’s online habits has revealed.

    The Chinese are also among the most receptive to brands and advertisers communicating with them on social networking sites, underlining the substantial and still largely untapped opportunity for online marketers in Asia.

    Two of the most oppresive gov’ts in the world and I’m supposed to believe this?

    I cancelled our sub to the Economist after it ran a front page article “What’s wrong the the [American] right?” that was probably ghosted by Keith Olberman.

    This is a question that has no easy answers—I know being a musician myself— but who is your fav artist and song.

    I’ll start.

    Artist: The Beatles, with Zep close behind.

    Song: Beethoven’s 9th

    Hmmm, The Beatles. That’s tough one to top. But if we are talking favorites in the way that the music really speaks to you and means something beyond just being a good tune, I would have to say U2 is the most important band in the making of Runner.

    Favorite song of all time? Black Betty by Ram Jam. Just kidding…

    Frankly, I don’t think I have one song that is my absolute favorite but if I was on a desert island it would probably be a (early) U2 song.

    The Chinese are also among the most receptive to brands and advertisers communicating with them on social networking sites, underlining the substantial and still largely untapped opportunity for online marketers in Asia.

    TNS, the market researcher owned by WPP, interviewed almost 50,000 people in 46 countries for its “Digital Life” study.

    TNS ranked the online populations it sees as the most highly engaged in the internet through the time spent using it and people’s attitudes to the technology.

    Egypt, Saudi Arabia and China topped the list, with about 55 per cent “highly engaged”.

    Turkey, the third-largest nation represented on Facebook, was the only European country to appear in the TNS top 10. Advertising agencies have seen rapid growth in marketing expenditure by clients in China and Brazil, as well as in digital channels.

    China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt. 3 of the most oppressive gov’ts in the world that tightly control their subjects internet access.

    What bullshit.

    You’re welcome very mush.

    I was trying find a link to an obscure 70s song about a stranger who got the singer stoned. The eventual refrain is “Thank you very mushhhh.” I can’t find it. Might be British. Sound familiar?

    Did you guys see the profile of Pamela Geller in today’s NYT?

    I thought it was pretty good. Geller, however, did not. And she’s right.

    Here is credentialed journalism: they say without explanation that I “posted doctored pictures of Elena Kagan, the Supreme Court justice, in a Nazi helmet.” They don’t bother to mention that the Kagan photoshop came after it was revealed that Kagan had cited in her thesis a German Marxist who became a Nazi when Hitler took power. They claim that I said that “a young Barack Obama slept with ‘a crack whore,’” without mentioning that in that post I was making a point about unfair journalists (like these Times writers), constructing a reductio ad absurdum about media bias.

    Just to show how avid and careful they were in their quest for the facts, they have me video blogging from an Israeli beach. Won’t Fort Lauderdale be surprised to find out that the Zionist war machine is now occupying Florida beaches? Richer still was their reference to “arching her bikini-bared back provocatively.” Please. I was submerged in the water with my kids in the background. Talk about easily titillated! I never arched my back except to swim away. They’ve been spending too much time with the Taliban. And they fault me for equating Palestinians with Hamas. The Palestinians elected Hamas, but who cares?

    I know they spoke to Pamela Hall, but she is not mentioned in the article. They asked her what my worst traits were, but she must not have given them any grist for their mill.

    This is true. The music we listened to in our day tends to be that which influenced us most. The Beatles were the band for me as a youngin’ and I can imagine an important band of artists like U2 would be for your time. It is relative, for sure.

    I saw U2 when they were upstarts and they were most impressive. Along with them at the Palace in Hollywood were REM, INXS, Simple Minds and the Human League.

    Black Betty is one great song, great groove and perfect production.

    Best song is the hardest thing to determine. It would be easier to ask, OK, what are your fav top 10 songs.

On the other hand, Big Green is still floundering so much that I’ve gotta put waders on just to click on the site.

    See my post number 14. I read your mind!

    Although that list might not qualify as my top ten songs but it’s interesting to examine your most played songs on iTunes.

    And you’re right about it being relative to one’s time. I was around when the Beatles were recording and putting out albums but I was just a tyke and during my teenage years I pretty much bled KISS and Cheap Trick, etc. However it was as a senior in high school that I discovered The Police and The B-52s and after that I never looked back. When U2 came along in my world around 1980 or 81 I was hooked and their music and lyrics really spoke to me. It’s only now as a wiser man that Bono’s liberal tilt irks me and causes me some consternation. I totally adored early REM and now feel the same way about the kooky politics of Michael Stipe.

    I saw U2 when they were upstarts and they were most impressive. Along with them at the Palace in Hollywood were REM, INXS, Simple Minds and the Human League.

    And PS, did that show at the Palace showcase all of these bands at one time? You caught Simple Minds and the Human League? If so, I bow to your concert-going greatness!

    @ lobo91:

    Stevie and Eric are both great axemen, but you have to give props to Jimi for paving the way for at least Vaughn. Clapton made his way in the same period as Hendrix and needs no forerunner, unless one cites Guy or King. But then again Page and other bluesy artists can cite them too.

    Stevie Ray Vaughan! What an awesome musician. He might be my favorite guitarist of all time.

    My ex-wife saw him in a 7-11 one night in Dallas putting a frozen burrito in a microwave oven. When he reached in to take it out he dropped it on the floor. She claims the burrito was out of the package and exposed just laying on the floor. He picked it up, dusted it off and paid for it. I assume he ate it!

    She said he looked like hell warmed over and needed about a week of sleep.

    Not having found anything of interest in the normal music channels produced by any band since the nineties I’ve been collecting Original Sound tracks (OST’s) from a number of sources. Over the last three years I have gotten a hold of a bunch of OST’s composed by Yuki Kajiura along with other OST’s from less well known composers. There is also a completely fictional band call Girls Dead Monster that has some really good tunes out on their own CD. (Keep the Beats!)

    Instead of just thinking I’m one weird guy now you know with certainty. :lol:

    yep.

    If I had a top ten list it might look like this from the top of my recollecting head.

    1. Beethoven’s 9th—Beethoven
    2. Dear Purdence—The Beatles
    3. Blackbird—The Beatles
    4. I am a Servant—Larry Norman
    5. Ramble On–Led Zepplein
    6. For the Love of God—Steve Vai
    7. Something—The Beatles
    8. The Extremist—Joe Satriani
    9. Scenes from a Memory— Dream Theater (the whole recording)
    10. Space Oddity–David Bowie

    And it would change as I remembered other songs that I really like.

    A top 20 might be better to move other songs into a fav list. Or maybe 50.

    Yes. It was my younger sister that turned me onto these new up and coming groups. She was a photographer at the time and we got the tics from the lead singer of Simple Minds after I drove her to photograph them during a radio interview. Early LA KROQ.

    It was a great show, and of them all I thought REM were the most intriguing. It’s not easy to listen to new groups whose songs haven’t been heard before, but the set by them was, to say at least, mesmerizing. The Human League had the only song that I recognized. Fascination was just becoming a hit.

    @ song_and_dance_man:
    I loved that song when I heard Aerosmith do it, but I didn’t know it was a cover at the time. That’s when I quit letting the music industry tell me what I liked, and I started hunting down original versions to my favorite rock songs. I found out that most of them were blatant ripoffs, especially from Willie Dixon. Willie Dixon was a stutterer, and he sang very few songs, but he wrote a lot of music that later became rock standards.

    Early Tull, yeah.

    The lyrics were great, and so was the musicianship. The only other group that approached Ian’s level of success with instruments that were not the norm for Rock was ELO.

    I was looking at the comments on Trowers youtube video and saw this:

    Can you believe that when Rolling Stone compiled their “100 greatest guitarists” list, Trower wasn’t on it? They had room on it for Joan Jett, though. Credibility not. More evidence of that rag’s decline, I guess.

    I wish I wasn’t so late to the thread:

    “I think she’s enabling a real bigotry — a lot of people are convinced by the propaganda she repeats like a mantra,” said Charles Johnson, who runs the blog Little Green Footballs, where Ms. Geller got her start as a frequent commenter. “Nine-eleven didn’t happen in a vacuum — it came from a long history. But when people like Pam Geller are the loudest voices out there talking about it, it drowns out everything else and makes everyone look crazy.”

    It’s not worth registering with the NYTimes to tell them that no one gives a shit about what Charles-Rat-Johnson has to say about anything, never mind Pam Geller.

    @ Grimcargo:

    That may be our best configuration, anyway. I have long said that for this election I just want 41 solid Republican Senators. 51 won’t buy us much more. Yeah, we’ll get to set up the committees, and that is something, but in this case especially it will be mostly about who gets the nicer offices. That is something that doesn’t concern me in the slightest. I want to be able to block a third anti-Second Amendment Justice for the Supreme Court if necessary. That is the most important thing the Republicans can do in the Senate for the next two years. But a 50-50 split will be intresting. Will the Democrats go in for a power-sharing deal the way the Republicans did when faced with the same situation? I’m bettintg not. So there, right off the bat, is a grievance that the Republicans need to beat like a dead horse. Everything is the fault of the Democrats who are still trying to pass the agenda that was rejected by the voters. That is the narrative for the next two years in the Senate, while Darryl Issa and crew raise holy hell in the House. Soiunds like a plan. I hope the Republicans have the stones to pull it off…

    Not actually me. I saw that picture somewhere and, thinking it was a close representation, gently “borrowed” it.
