It's a nice day.

So here's a video of Radiohead doing a cover of Ceremony by Joy Division.

Start! Goal?

This is like a month old, but for my birthday, Sasha got me this really cute and ka-razee action figure. He comes disassembled and made out of paper:

That is what the front of the package looks like. Then I turned his package around to get some more info on the little guy:

I really couldn't make out any of this, but from what I gather, he enjoys taking vacations and is often unsure about reaching goals. I assume as much about myself, so I figure me and Paper Plane Robot have a lot in common. Also, he looks good chilling with the rest of my vinyl posse.

Also, this sporting young lad.

As you can see from this other paper robot, this one is enthusiastic about soccer and he is sponsored by Coors.

Speaking of vinyl, I used to have a faux-career* long ago as a DJ, but haven't done it in quite some time. Anyways, this video brings back a lot of memories and has really put the bug in me to drag out the ol' 1s and 2s and start making mixtapes... (cough) I mean mixes in varying formats from CD to MP3, podcast, etc. again.


* By faux-career in DJing I meant that I put in all the work of a real DJ if not more, but never cared enough to follow it as a commercial prospect because I refused to do requests, weddings or your kid's shitty middle school dance. WTF is Serato anyway?

The Wraith

No, not The Wrath as in "Star Trek: The Wrath o' Khan," but the The Wraith as in overlooked bad ass movie from the 80s. While on holiday in Maui, my brother asked me if I remember a movie about a hot rod that challenged other dudes to races and then killed them as revenge. Wait here's the IMDB version of what I just said:

Packard Walsh and his motorized gang lord and terrorize an Arizona desert town, where they force boys to drag-race so they can 'win' their vehicles. After they beat the decent teenager Jamie Hankins to death, dragging him from his girlfriend while they made love, a mysterious power creates Jake Kesey, an extremely cool motor-biker, who has a car which makes invincible. Jake befriends Jamie's girlfriend Keri Johnson, takes Jamie's sweet brother Bill under his wing and manages what sheriff Loomis couldn't: eliminate Packard's criminal gang the hard way...

This wasn't Charlie Sheen's first movie, but aside from Major League, this is the toughest he's ever been. He hardly speaks, he dresses like a porn star, and he gets to make the love with Sherilyn Fenn. Oh, I should also mention that he's an alien who kills people with his car! I really do miss the anything and everything goes imagination of movies from the 80s. Maybe next week I'll talk more about awesome movies from the golden age of cable TV cinema. For now here's a montage that I wish I created which puts The Wraith in a nice little, leather vest of a package. Please to enjoy.

Ever Given Yourself A Stranger?

Sorry I've been away for so long. I have been out of town or busy and while I was being a stranger, I saw the movie The Strangers. Ironic, huh? Nope. Just dumb. I could go on about that, but there is more to rant about later. In the meantime/in between time here's some images from my recent trip to Maui.
