DJ Z-Trip, one of my favorite favorites in all of favoriteland, has started posting MP3s of rare tracks and live shows on his website. I smile.
Z-Trip - Motown Breakdown Pt. 1
Addendum: Totally by accident, I found another unofficial Z-Trip page, which includes the awsome awesome awesome Uneasy Listening (feat. DJ Emile). Whee!

I heard that the window that Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy through was removed from the Sixth Floor museum and is now up for sale on eBay. Then I heard that Anna Nicole Smith died. And then I heard that Anna Nicole Smith died. And then I heard that Anna Nicole Smith died. And then I heard that Anna Nicole Smith died. And then I heard that Anna Nicole Smith died. And then I heard that Anna Nicole Smith died. And then I heard that Anna Nicole Smith died. And then I heard that Anna Nicole Smith died.
I was going to add links to the Sixth Floor Museum and the Anna Nicole Smith Website, and I noticed that the JFK museum page loaded in about a half a second, while the Anna Nicole page will not load due to the barrage of visits.
Granted, the window is an inanimate object, and did not, in fact, die. It is, however, probably the most famous window in American history (not to mention a great loss to the Sixth Floor Museum, as it was a real centerpiece of the collection). Anna Nicole Smith did, in fact die, and I like to apply at least a modicum of gravitas to death, but seriously. This woman did nothing of note with her life past being someone people actively laughed at, or in her younger years, being naked and large breasted.
At this rate, we'll give Paris Hilton presidential honors when she gets whacked.
Addendum: two items of note just posted to eBay (using actual item titles):
ANNA NICOLE SMITH DEAD FEB 2007 FEB 2001 MINT HOT HOT
A ten dollar magazine, tops. Minimum Bid: $500.
Anna Nicole Smith Guitar
Judging from the sadly low-res image (see below), it looks to be a cheap guitar with poorly cut magazine images glued/laminated on it. Minimum Bid: $2500.
Second Addendum:
I dug through the garage for my old Playboys and dug one up, putting it up on eBay for shits and giggles. I made $50 in an hour. People are crazy.
Third Addendum:
Oswald's Marine Handbook just sold for a hundred grand, and the window's up to half a million dollars.

The bottom left panel of page 38 (counting title page, ads, etc.) of Spider-Man: Reign issue #2 makes the whole damn mini-series worth buying. It's subtle, and it's brilliant.
I'll be the first to admit that Reign feels a little "Dark Knight Returns goes Marvel," but by the time I got halfway through the first issue, I stopped caring.
If you dug (or even dug) quality comics, pick it up, if you can find copies. If not, hit up your local store on April 18th, when the hardcover comes out.
P.S. - Marvel can send my 1st printing of issue 1 (Both covers please?) to P.O. Box 6012, Waco, TX 76706. No need to thank me for the plug, the books will do just fine. :)

I am so very happy about this.

Smith's Olde Bar, in Atlanta, is setting up an event called "500 Songs for Kids," that looks to be awesome. 500 bands will play "Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" from May 3rd-12th. The proceeds will go towards the Songs for Kids Foundation, which brings musicians to visit sick children.
Apparently, they've only got about half of the needed acts, so if you want to be a part of what looks to be a fun (not to mention charitable) venture, go and apply.
Road trip, anyone?

So it looks like another of my favorite shows is going to cancellation hell. Veronica Mars' time slot is being taken by Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll, then the show will return later this year with 5 stand-alone episodes, down from nine, with no news of a fourth season.
Here's what I picture in my head, when I think about TV production:
TV Producer/Bigwig 1: Hey, that Veronica Mars show is getting fantastic critical reviews.
TV Producer/Bigwig 2: Yeah, and the ratings, while not stellar, have been going up.
TV Producer/Bigwig 1: [snorting a massive line of coke] Yeah, so let's cancel it.
TV Producer/Bigwig 2: [snorting a massive line of coke] Right. How about eight episodes of vapid whore wannabes with big tits?
TV Producer/Bigwig 1: [grabbing the ass of the 19 year old 'actress' who has learned not to talk during 'meetings'] Now you're thinking!
TV Producer/Bigwig 2: Snort! Smallville!
TV Producer/Bigwig 1: Snort! [fondle] Gilmore Girls!
TV Producer/Bigwig 2: Snort! [fondle] Beauty and the Geek!
TV Producer/Bigwig 1 and 2: SNORRRRRRT!!
...or something like that.

Guy: Oh, is that one of those...Treo things?
Girl: Yeah, it's awesome.
Guy: So, it's like a computer, just little?
Girl: Yeah, totally. You can go online and everything.
Guy: Really? Like how does it do that? Satellite?
Girl: Yeah, you don't have to be where there's wireless. I've been driving down the road checking my MySpace.
Guy: Cool.
Girl: Yadda yadda yadda touchscreen yadda little plastic pen yadda.
Guy: Yadda yadda yadda.
(Later...)
Girl: I'm so taking this to Great Britain instead of my laptop, so my laptop doesn't get stolen.

Not real, from a TV show. I'm not into human suffering.
I would have embedded the player, but it's got one of those "no embed" things on it. Boooooo.

I thought it would be a neat idea to have little video "Bonus Features" to go with entries, with the same general theme of the post. Let me know if you know of a way to improve it.
By the way, the theme of this post is greased up Japanese guy wearing horns.

I installed this thing called Snap. If you put your mouse over a link that goes away from L-O-2.com, it shows a preview. If you don't like it, you can turn it off in the little window. So there.

A brilliant sendup of the classic Dorothea Lange photo for the Woot Contest to illustrate the plight of the celebrity musician in the age of illegal downloading. The rest vary in quality, but you can check them out here.
A side note: I found this cool wiki index of great photos while I was putting this post together. Neat stuff.

God. If it wouldn't have been a logistical nightmare for the advertising, they so would've called this movie Fast Tits.
