You Know What Time It Is
It's time for the Low-brow/High-brow links of the day. Where I hand out links that can appeal to everyone from the editor of the The New Yorker to the President of the United States.
High Brow Link of the Day: Jackson Pollack emulator.
Who's Jackson Pollack you say? Well lemme tell ya... you know what, maybe you should just check out link #2.
Low Brow Link of the Day: Hitler Cats!
Both links stolened from Her Dooceness. End Transmission.

Jackhole Concert Warp-up
OK, I would have posted sooner but my brain has been recompiling since the MC Frontalot concert a couple of weeks ago. Also, I'm a lazy piece of shit.
The concert was unconditionally superb. It was a bit of a haul from Detoilet to Kalamzoo but not something I wouldn't do again in a heart beat... on a work night... before a big presentation... on which rode a major promotion. This was the tour's last stop so the last chance, before PAX, to see the Front bust rhymes in living color. I've been listening to the Front for several years now. I was first enamored of him when I heard "Braggadogio" and the proverbial deal was cliched when I mine ears did hear "Yellow Lasers." Any rapper who can combine so many Star Wars cliches and golden showers is worthy of my praise. In thanks to the MC for such a stellar show we purchased a number of items and politely asked him to write his name on one such item, which he graciously obliged.
The concert is too far gone for me to remember the set in total but I can at least remember the show highlights: "Crime Spree" was most excellently rendered. The aforementioned "Braggadogio" was part of the all-too-short encore set. If my old man memory serves its function he opened with "Indier Than Thou". Definitely a high point in the evening was the Roll-A-Song in which the crowd cheered for their choice between two songs and the losing song had to make a Saving Throw. Very clever indeed. The bar itself was kindof a hole in the wall that appeared to be more accustomed to hard rock and hip hop acts. I'm sure they were all thrilled with the crowd that evening. Unfortunately the show was sparsely attended. I didn't do a full head count, but the fact that I could have gives you some idea as to how few people were there. It was on a Wednesday night and probably close to finals for a lot of the college students in town. Not that any of that is an excuse, if they really cared they'd have been there.
So in conclusion, I'm very much looking forward to seeing Front on his next concertizing endeavor. Next on the list is mc chris.
