Death: For the Whole World to See

I really should have posted this a month ago when this NYTimes article about the band first came out (well worth reading). These three guys from Detroit were making punk music back in 1974 before punk music even existed.


"Politicians in My Eyes"


"You're a Prisoner"


"Freakin' Out"

Ballooning Sucks ... Really, Really Sucks

Reuters had a story about a priest wanting to raise money through an ill-fated derring-do. Some fundraiser - his body recently washed onto Brazil's southeastern coast. He must not have had very sincere friends if they green-lighted this attempt. "Yeah, Father, go for it! Sounds like an AWESOME idea!"

This, coupled with last weekend's post and comic about a suicide involving balloons, has me thinking that this is the summer of party accessories gone wrong. I predict mass casualties involving kazoos sometime in August. Party City stores can never be viewed in the same way - whereas before they were thought of as convenient places to pick up all things celebration, they will now be seen as one-stop shops providing the troubled with instruments of death.
