Brightblack Morning Light Head Out On Tour, Set to Release New LP, Motion To Rejoin
Tiny Mix Tapes (Free subscription) | yesterday
So, I've spent hours upon hours in contemplation, and I've come to one clear, precise conclusion: indie-psychedelic group Brightblack Morning Light sound like Zero 7 combined with Bright Eyes, but produced by Frank Zappa. If you check out some of their MySpace tunes, you'll realize what I'm talking about. If that description moves you like it moves me, then you're in luck: Brightblack Morning Light...

Jack tells us of a Rock for MS event happening tomorrow night in West Hollywood (we're all invited!), and

Budweiser: Good Riddance To Bad Beer
The Moderate Voice (Free subscription) | 07/18/2008
You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. – FRANK ZAPPA While I suppose that red-meat Americans should be up in arms over the impending sale of venerable Anheuser-Busch for 52 billion large to Belgian-Brazilian brewer InBev, it certainly won’t change my leisure-time...

GOD DAMN, YOU'RE HOT!!!-DAME HELEN MIRREN BRINGS BACK SEXY AT 63
The Vault of Buncheness (Free subscription) | 07/17/2008
Thanks to the ever-diligent web-trawling of "Frank Zappa," I'm able to share this marvel of nature with you. I've always dug British chicks, something I can attest to since a childhood crush on Diana Rigg as Emma Peel on THE AVENGERS, and also being turned on by the wholesome beauty of Julie Andrews (who by many accounts was quite a party-gal back in the days), and my fondness for the ladies from across...
