Hoof shoes from Zagone Studios

Turns out hoof shoes are making a comeback, but for humans. More examples: A Closer Look At The Hoof Shoe Trend: 5 Fashionable Or Freaky Hooves. My faves are the deer ones.

We've got a real treat for you at Midnight this Saturday--a guest appearance by one of the country's best industrial DJs, Copper Top. Vlad and Cheetahdave are spinning, too; Radio-Active- Music.com is vending; and there'll be drink specials and giveaways galore...

Hi folks! I'm getting married in April, on a zeppelin and I'm looking for somebody to sew my outfit and my partner's waistcoat. We're in Portland, Oregon, and looking for somebody local. If you are, or know of this person, please drop me a line!

For our last New Years Eve at the Edison I wanted some cool new pants. So i went to Target, bought a pair of $10 canvas pants, and then did this.

They have survived many washings already, and are just find (it is patio furniture paint!) and they don't smell any more like "paint" then any freshly printed garment.

"Vessel," by the phenomenal Grouper, from a recent split EP (with Roy Montgomery). Grouper’s DRAGGING A DEAD DEER UP A HILL was one of my favourite records of 2008, and this EP has basically made my night.

I was wondering if anybody knew of any sites that have Virginia's real estate laws listed. I did a search, but none of the official looking *.va.us and *.gov sites are loading. I shouldn't need an actual lawyer, but I am writing a letter to my leasing office and would like to be able to quote a few things from a reliable source. I've found several "tenant rights" websites, but I'd rather it come straight from the source. I know I can go to the library and pour through books if I need to, but I figured an official website might be updated more regularly.

PopSci: "TA-CD works by preventing cocaine from entering the brain, thus stopping the user from getting high. It does not, however, stop cravings, leading some test participants who received the vaccine to take 10 times as much cocaine in the hopes of overriding the vaccine and getting high, or to bankrupt themselves while trying to do so."

I hear Los Angeles has more helicopters than any other American city. I certainly hear the helicopters in Hollywood pretty often. Yet nobody has ever said anything to me about having naked militia on my roof. So Forrest Black and I have shot more than a few of these like this one with Scar 13 for Blue Blood.

I discovered Scott Tuma’s work a few years ago, with a record called THE RIVER. He’s usually filed under "Americana," but I find this reductive.

This is a piece from a collaboration with Mike Weis called TARADIDDLE, just because it’s what I’ve got to hand right now, but I find it preserves what’s important about Scott Tuma. His work is powerfully strange and estranging: it smacks of mutated ground, poisoned water, rust and death. The first track off 2008’s NOT FOR NOBODY is actually kind of harrowing, in the way that recent Elegi and Svarte Greine records have been — the sound of someone in extremis in an unforgiving environment. But I seem to have misplaced that. And TARADIDDLE is a fine record. So, from it, I play you "On Cox."
