For those with an appetite for bizarre recordings, here’s mp3s of the entirety of “the astounding, disquieting” 60s record ‘The Groupies,’ a collection of actual interviews with Manhattan groupies discussing their depraved post-gig activities. It’s not quite what you would … Continue reading

I Got It From The Toilet Seat
Dear KUR, I ran across this video on Google video. Some kids making a video about “Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?”. It’s a noble effort. It certainly is. Thanks Scott!

Pride & Prejudice
What people in the world are known for, according to Google. Typical: poor old Argentina doesn’t get a mention since its place on the map is overlapped with a little square needed to describe Brazil! Belgium, quite fittingly, simply disappears … Continue reading
