to celebrate Pee Wee Herman’s imminent residency at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood (from Nov 8th through December 17th – tickets are available here), i bring your attention to The 20 Best Public Service Announcements Of The Last Thirty Years.

Pee-Wee’s entry here is only number twenty, and it just gets better from there, including videos from Star Wars warning against the dangers of polio, Thundercat hoes commanding you not to drink alcohol and, i shit you not, a PSA from David Lynch on littering. more or less, a plethora of shills most likely doing public service as part of their parole for drug busts. excellent post, Topless Robot, well played.
(this one below was always my favorite as a kid. i must have seen it a thousand times, often high, and guess what you Nancy Reagan-era-Just-Say-No-wasting-our-tax-dollar-do-gooder-morons… i’ve done so many drugs you wouldn’t believe. epic fail. EPIC FAIL.)

holy jesus (satan), Dave MacDowell may just be the new king of pop (rest in pieces, M.J.). i was lucky enough to see David MacDowell’s The Sins of Atticus Finch show at Thinkspace a couple months ago, and the more i see of his portfolio of jumbled up pop schizophrenia, the more i laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh all crazy like while talking to myself. there is plenty of more wonderful-ness on his website here, and you can read his blog here to read about the methods behind his particular brand of madness. preach on, mad pop genius. preach on.

Dark Night Of The Soul is having lots of drama behind the album what with record label EMI threatening to sue Dangermouse and company if it is released… good thing us Angelenos still have the  David Lynch exhibit tonight at Michael Kohn Gallery to look forward to with like photos and stuff that interpret the songs of the album or whatever. maybe there will even be some ill gotten goods that might be distributed to the masses there from the Dark Night Of The Soul group… it seems likely. hell hath no fury like an artist scorned. so i’ll probably see you there. wear some riot gear, it might prove to be a dangerous evening full of music pirating and RIAA shock troops.

Sex Pistols – EMI

it’s a shaaaaame, the way you mess around with my heart… turns out that soon-to-be-released Dark Night of the Soul album from Dangermouse and Sparklehorse and a bunch of other musical luminaries that i’ve already mentioned in this post here will not at this time be seeing the light of day. according to Pitchfork, record label EMI is threatening to sue if it is released…  for now, the full album is available for streaming here at NPR, but who knows how long that will last, so do what you gotta do, internet pirates of the world.
good thing us Angelenos still have the upcoming David Lynch exhibit at Michael Kohn Gallery to look forward to. maybe there will even be some ill gotten goods that might be distributed to the masses there from the Dark Night Of The Soul group… it seems likely. hell hath no fury like an artist scorned, and the event seems to still be on for Saturday the 30th. as a matter of fact, here’s a new flier i got in the email today hyping the evening. so i’ll probably see you there. wear some riot gear, it might prove to be a dangerous evening full of music pirating and RIAA shock troops.

so remember that teaser that went out about that Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse project? well it’s called Dark Night of the Soul and it’s streaming right now at http://chrysalismusic.wordpress.com. features contributions from a ton of people that i’ve been meaning to call back but i just don’t have the time, including: Brian Burton, Sparklehorse, Flaming Lips,  Gruff Rhys (from Super Furry Animals), Iggy Pop, Suzanne Vega, Black Francis (from the Pixies (duh)), Vic Chesnutt, Julian Casablancas (from the Strokes), Jason Lyttle (from Grandaddy), Nina Persson (from the Cardigans and A Camp), James Mercer,  and DAVID LYNCH.
most importantly, Dark Night Of The Soul is having a Los Angeles premiere here on May 29th (or 30th, there seems to be some debate) at the Michael Kohn Gallery with new photos from David Lynch that apparently interpret the songs of the album.

new video for Moby’s Shot In The Back Of The Head single, directed by David Lynch. the song is from Moby’s upcoming full length album, Wait for Me. more info here. lots and lots of good music being released this year. really looking forward to all of it, especially after last year’s fairly dismal record (get it?) of subpar releases. personally, i think it has a lot to do with the light at the end of an eight year tunnel. someone should do a chart comparing good albums against the recent presidential timeline. (someone besides me, i mean.)
