In cheerfully multicultural Vancouver, the locals decided that Lunar New Year and Robert Burns day might go well together. That’s how GUNG HAGGIS FAT CHOY occurred. A dinner is held in which Scottish and Chinese foods are served, and a confusing set of events occurs, with bagpipes, ghost stories etc. I’m not sure how everyone feels a few hours later but it’s a great example of how to have fun with other people’s cultures.
All of us at Be My Blog wish you a lucky, happy, and equine year on this lunar occasion.
In honor of National Kazoo Day, all of us here at Be My Blog are honored to present the finest arrangement ever of Led Zeppelin’s ultra-classic “Whole Lotta Love.” While you may be tempted to bail out from this challenging yet respectful tribute, we urge you to stay up to 2:05 or so for the vocal breakdown which breaks and downs like a real breakdown.
Every day, twice a day, this nearly happens to me.
Adam Magyar’s “Stainless” video series turns train platforms into lucid dreams.
A night shot of a pyroclastic flow, with lightning. Or to put it differently, Dante’s Hell at 100 miles per hour with decorative kilovolts added.
EDIT: Video pulled from Liveleak. Linking now to original photographer’s Youtube.
Japan is a land of contrasts.
Everything in the below video rant sounds accurate.
The scene falls apart because of money. The boomerang of nostalgia comes back faster nowadays, so they’re already making the documentary before things are quite done, and people slightly over 30 are stroking their beards and reminiscing about the good old days.
I’m surprised by the surprise, though (shocked… shocked!). Of course Pitchfork is an advertising company. Of course they want to eat scenes and shit out money. And if you’re in the arts business, the worst people you’ll meet will be the hip and cool ones who say they’re in it for the esthetics. They’re deadly. So now it’s a website-based media company instead of Dick Clark or Viacom. Makes sense. Sorry about your scene. It’s a cliché, though. It happens to everyone.
In another town, some kids are jamming in basements and back yards, making their own scene, and it sounds great. Don’t worry, that can’t be stopped. It’s cooler than either one of us will ever be. Personally I can’t wait to hear it.
