Album Of The Semi-Kind Of-Maybe-FREAK!

Pere Ubu – New Picnic Time

Anarchy, whimsy, joy, hedonistic freedom, violent, loving, surreal release.  Maria, these are a few of MY favorite things. If you like this album perhaps also check out the revolutionary The Modern Dance. 

As always, you can listen to the album to the right in the sidebar widget, just click on the appropriate folder, then on the song.

“Pere Ubu is not now nor has it ever been a viable commercial venture. We won’t sleep on floors, we won’t tour endlessly and we’re embarrassed by self-promotion. Add to that a laissez-faire attitude to the mechanics of career advancement and a demanding artistic agenda and you’ve got a recipe for real failure. That has been our one significant success to this date: we are the longest-lasting, most disastrous commercial outfit to ever appear in rock ‘n’ roll. No one can come close to matching our loss to longevity ratio.” – David Thomas

Zero Is The New One

the zero house… pretty cool, some features:

• Off the power grid, no energy bill: uses solar energy with power to last a week with no sunlight.
• Only 650 square feet, but it includes 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, living room, kitchen, storage, heating & air conditioning, and decks.
• Rainwater is collected, holding up to 22 000 gallons.
• Closed cell foam insulation.
• Compost unit underneath collects waste with ventilation through the roof.
• House is built onto the ground using helical anchors.

What I’d really like is a teleportable house!  It would be invisible, and could teleport in personal enviroments… so that although it may seem you are sleeping outside, it will feel like you are inside and protected from all the elements.  So really it would be kind of like an invisible house suit.  And all your waste would be teleported out of you, food into you, dirt disintegrated, and it would be powered by happy thoughts. 

But until then I guess this’ll have to do…

Album of the Week

I’m going to upload one random album or playlist I feel like uploading every week (probably Sunday, it seems to be free day day).  I’ll probably only comment with one sentence or a couple, because, well, just because.  You can listen to the album here to the right in the widget sidebar.  I’ve decided against letting people download it because I don’t want to get, um, sued.  If you like it, download it somewhere else. Or buy it.  Or if you know me, we can share. Maybe.

So without much adue,The Black Keys – Rubber Factory.

Well known band + album, but nevertheless, my favorite Black Keys album – the White Stripes with less gimic, more garage, and the right touch of blues.  ”Thickfreakness” with more polish.  And I like polish.  Shoe polish.  Yes.   “Desperate Man” = cool.
