Yet another collection of things which I find fascinating.
The microphone which Gym Class Heroes‘ lead singer Travis McCoy snapped over the head of a ‘racially offensive’ member of the audience. Read the press release at their official website here. You should also listen them if you haven’t already, there’s a reason why they have over 20 million views on Myspace. Via I Shoot Shows.
An interview with Iggy Pop on French TV in 1977. Before seeing this, I’ve only ever seen pictures or video of the haggard, over-smoked Iggy that is still touring today. This gave me a wholly new perspective. Via The Constant Seige.
And, to finish the trio I present Dresden Codak, one of the only webcomics that I’ve read which I’ve had to regressively read in order to fully understand. Fantastic artwork, too.

Things are changing again in my life. New job, new studies, new interests. Even my media centre PC is getting a re-install of Windows as we speak. But for once I feel like I’m in control. I’m not worried about next semester; I’m not worried about finding a new job; I’m not worreid about my singleness. I’m finally allowing myself a few simple pleasures in life, like concert tickets and hoodies and the study of history. And it’s all working for the better.
Of course, I’ve also stumbled across a whole bunch of interesting things recently. If you were the one who told me about them, feel free to take ownership. Anyway, here’s a few.
- Gregorian: Masters of Chant (You’ve never heard Metallica nor Green Day like this) via Poster Child
- Freak Angels (The free online comic from Warren Ellis)
- You Look Nice Today (Fantastic indie-ish podcast from the US)
- Poster Child (Urban guerrilla gardener)
There’s plenty more than that, but I’ve run out of time… need to finish configuring the PC. Blah.

It seems that today is to be yet another day of nothing. I made dutiful attempts to wake up, exit my bed and have breakfast, yet each of these took longer than usual. I have also attempted to summon the strength required to begin studying, yet… it’s ridiculously hard. Therefore, I’ve done nothing particularly amazing.
However, in the absence of high-quality experiences and actions, I’ve done some useful things. For example, I’ve uploaded a number of videos from the show I went to last night (the last show of No Culture, feat. Chalk and Cheese, Charge Group, Lets Not, and Pikelet), discovered that the comic featured in Six Feet Under [S4.Ep9] “Grinding the Corn” is actually not an authentic comic, and enjoyed the rain.
Therefore, below is a sampling of my experiences. Firstly, there is the two videos from last night: Chalk and Cheese – the enthralling buckley-esque local artist; and Charge Group, who were equally enthralling, although plagued with a few sound issues. Following them is the entire “Blue Twister” comic from Six Feet Under, which was posted on the blog of Eric Wight, the artist who created it, many months ago.
Then, to conclude, look out your window. If it’s dreary, rainy and beautiful, then you’ve experienced essentially my entire day.

Charge Group (Two Songs)

I suppose it’s close to words. It’s the same tool, the same substance. The same thoughtless provocations that spur me on to attempt to create something, to invent, to interpret. More of this has been happening than words – I’ve felt the urge to write countless times, but… the follow through hasn’t occurred. Perhaps I need motivation. Or perhaps just another medium.
Like this.
…perhaps more will appear.

I nicked this from Another Irani Online, an interesting blog that I found through Raed in the Middle, Raed Jarrar’s excellent blog.
