last night - fake joy division - nosaj thing - mary ann hobbs

Last night I saw some band that is not Joy Division play Unknown Pleasures. It was rather lame - the one guy actually from Joy Division barely played his bass at all, instead leaving the other bass player (yes, 2 bass players) to do most of the work. He also apparently couldn't be bothered to learn the lyrics to the 32-year-old album, as evidenced by the music stand with lyrics next to him on stage. The rest of the band was pretty good though.



So then I went back to BK to see Nosaj Thing and Mary Anne Hobbs who both fucking killed it. Check the bottom video for a Photek dubstep track, played last night for the first time anywhere. Also, huge ups for the girl doing live visuals for Nosaj Thing. Sorry for the video/sound quality - taken on an iPhone in drunkvision.















When I got home there was a giant dead raccoon on my street. Who knew they had raccoons in Brooklyn?

Should Old People Drive?


I was driving in KC rush hour traffic today, and I saw this old lady, like 70 or 80 or 60 or some shit old, with an oxygen feed running to her nose while she was puffing on a funky, steam roller looking breathable medicine machine pipe ventilation device. She was driving, with a handicap sticker in the window, and had a 7 year old in the car. Looked like the little baby above, but like many decades older. Seriously? I love old people as much as the rest of you all, but, damn. I am all about highway medication, but this is even past what I feel is aceptable. My standards are low. What is this world coming to. I was going to take a picture, but I didn't want the old lady to flip out and have a heart attack, or call the cops on me, cause that would always be bad.

On a similar note, well, at least in a round-about-way, well not really, cause you know why the hell I even noticed that old lady,

"James also revealed he and his teammates smoked marijuana one night after getting access to a hotel room in Akron." Only one? You knew you were in the NBA when you were 16. Only one?
