not only does puscifer have a remix of Lighten Up Francis (its good, you can hear it on puscifer.com) coming out on a soundtrack…

according to blabbermouth.net - maynard keenan is again working with billy howerdel on some recordings for A Perfect Circle (guess ashes divide didn’t pan out?), though they might just only release a few tracks online (their contract with virgin was up after emotive). there is also the possibility of one-off live shows.

tool is expected to begin writing sometime next year.

mjk did some work for a documentary called The Heart Is A Drum Machine. the Flaming Lips did the soundtrack, including a cover of elton john’s Rocket Man with vocals by maynard (!). this has got to be the best combination since gears of war’s lancer (gun/chainsaw).

and, Puscifer will be doing three shows in Vegas around valentine’s day. there was a promo video up for it, but now it’s private.

A top question on change.gov (from the office of the president-elect) gets answered:

Q: "Will you consider legalizing marijuana so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it, and create millions of new jobs and create a billion dollar industry right here in the U.S.?" S. Man, Denton
A: President-elect Obama is not in favor of the legalization of marijuana.

Current president George W. Bush made an unannounced visit to Iraq this weekend to apparently plug the awesome progress he’s made in Iraq before president-elect Barack Obama takes over. I guess it’s a legacy thing.

At a press conference during the visit,  an Iraqi journalist threw both of his shoes at W., shouting “this is a farewell kiss, you dog”. My favorite part from the MSNBC story on this: The crowd descended on al-Zeidi, who works for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt. He was wrestled to the ground by security officials and then hauled away, moaning as they departed the room. Later, a trail of fresh blood could be seen on the carpet, although the source was not known.

Though maybe not quite as funny in execution, this is far cooler than the lady that tried to arrest Karl Rove or the guy that tried to egg Steve Ballmer.

This is what happens when you let children believe that something like who wins American Idol actually matters. It’s even worse if their contestant of choice is close to their age and just as nerdy.

When I get into a hobby, I tend to go overboard and accessorize. I’ve never owned a gun (and rarely fired one), but if I ever did I’d HAVE to get a bedside gun rack. Immediately.

kinda stupid, but the hook will get you every time. this is SNL-related so its notable that its actually funny.

ok, so admittedly this find is kinda stupid – but I laughed pretty hard at some of the rhymes so it’s worth sharing.

NSFW.

Hmm…everyone is always so critical of the nutritional worth of fast food, I’m thinking its the home cooking that we should really be worried about. If the bacon cheese roll thing in the above pic doesn’t kill you, then the meat cake (with mashed potatoes as frosting) in the picture below surely will.

Not quite sure if this is really a PSA demonstrating the durability of condoms or just a nutbag blowing condoms up with his nose.

a fitting farewell from sympathetic legacy consoles to a red-ringed 360. any funeral where Master Chief is performing the services is a party in my book.

A good friend of mine is an extra in a Taiwanese movie (1:50 in the above clip, 7:40 in this clip). Awesome work Stef!

UPDATE: I asked about the title and was told: i believe the translation is "wormwood"

the only thing that would make the mighty penis copter that crashes the party in this video any cooler would be the Airwolf theme.

nsfw.
