24 hour party zone
Get your groove on, just in time for the weekend. This is Hunter from AFI, not Prince. Via Indie HQ
Shattered Hearts
It's great to see that more material by the Exploding Hearts will be released, but man, it's hard to listen to that album considering their tragic demise.
Unbelievable
Dinosaur Jr. Nikes. I'm not even kidding. Evidently the retirement shows aren't doing so well.
Get yer hippie on
ReadyMade dishes up info on natural cleaners, and explains what's wrong with what you're currently using.
Obey Perry
The folks over at the Wooster Collective posted some vids of Perry Farrell interviewing Shepard Fairey.
Happy Trees
One of the highlights of staying home sick as a kid (for me, anyway) was watching Bob Ross.
Quality tunes
Here's some great new music that made it's way online: A song by Skiba's new band, and some new solo material from Chuck Ragan. Amazing stuff.
Too funny
I guess someone over at Microsoft forgot to purchase the domain name for IE7. Either that or they didn't plan on buying it at all.
Just in case
You've ever wondered why my links do not open in a new window, now you know. Use your tabs for a better experience. Right click, open in a new tab, read when you feel like it.
Required weekend reading
Find out the best way to keep your beer cold this weekend. Donut cozy. Mmm. Via Coudal
Containment
I stare at hundreds of these cars every morning, and I'm always trying to take in every detail. Freeze.
You over there, give me a job
Take a little tour of the Starbucks Design Studio. Doesn't sound half bad for a corporate gig. Via Unbeige
Hot cars on a hot day
The Alki Rod and Custom Car Show is this Saturday, 8-5. Lots of fun to be had. Plus, it's supposed to be 96. What better place to hang out than the beach?
Free sampler
Who doesn't like free music? The folks at Suburban Home Records are giving away 18 glorious tracks. Get it, there's some good stuff on here.
Streaming music
The AOL site has the new Bronx and Sinking Ships up for your streaming pleasure.
The Oil We Eat
Read when you have time. Facts such as eating a plant is more efficient than eating tuna, but eating grain based alternatives seems to be just as detrimental to our environment as eating livestock.
American Hardcore
A movie about Punk Rock in which Keith Morris does not complain about anyone stealing his whiskey.
Awesome
A group of graphic designers (talk about minimalism!) declined an invitation to the White House. BTW, I've never seen these profiles on Apple's site. Pretty slick.
Andy said it well:
Free music
Lots of good mp3s of your favorite bands performing live. Dig around and download. Via the DDC
Coop visits the SF Wax Museum
The photos are good, the commentary hilarious.
iPodDisk
This looks like a pretty good method for retreiving songs off an iPod.
Let's Rock Again
The EMP is showing a screening of this new film documenting Joe Strummer on a US tour with the Mescaleros. Only an hour long though, bummer. Go see it today (Wednesday).
