Social Experiment, Anyone?

I want to do this so goddamn bad.

21st century homesteading: Free land in Alaska

I guess I'll have to just perform at the canteen, and toss my vids up on YouTube.

Urban Hee Haw.

I will be drumming for the Manson Family Singers and schmacting in the Urban Hee Haw at the Bowery Poetry Club, Monday, March 12 at 8 pm. The Urban Hee Haw is coproduced by the Mansons' Tom & Hilary. We got this (kinda weird) write-up in the Voice.

And here we are are playing Dodge City last weekend (photo by Sarah Fisch):

Horror Du Jour.

I'm really depressed about the baby that got its (I can't watch it again to see if it was a girl or a boy) nose chewed off by a rat.

Maybe I shouldn't read cnn.com when I'm already having a hectic, miserable day at work.

I'm disgusted and grief-stricken that this country has allowed cities to marinate in their government-enabled or -created poverty for so long that things have gotten as bad as they are. In the most gluttonous, rapacious, arrogant, and hypocritical nation in the world.

I think a government that knows how to prevent such severe and dangerous rat infestations but does not do so should be subject to a pretty massive lawsuit, not to mention legislated reform, for neglect of public fucking health.

Urban American children: lunchmeat for rodents.

Read Rats. The only way to control rodents is to clean things up, keep it that way, and rodent-proof buildings. Rat poison does not work. If anything it gets the small ones out of the way, empowering the larger ones and creating hardier, more aggressive rats.

"Whiskey Dick, Don't Let It Go Down Like This..."

I love the day or so after band practice, when snippets of Manson Family Singers songs rattle around in my head.

This week's killer Dodge City lineup:

A nutty character from Ann Carr
Smarcasm by Jeff Mac
Hilarity & mutton chops from Pat O'Shea
A sexy story by Greg Walloch
And a special longer set of megahits from the Manson Family Singers, with me on the drumkit! Yeah!
