Worst Album Covers..... Ever.

I found a poll on the Chicago Tribune site today where you can vote for the worst album cover. I have to say, some of these are pretty funny.

Take a look and vote for your least favorite. The results should be interesting.

Chicago Tribune's Worst Album Covers

You can even submit your own. So if you have an album cover that you think is horrible feel free to add it to the collection.

Cancellation.

Just got an email today from Gaius Acilius. Turns out there's some scheduling complications and they won't be able to play the show on the 14th.

Now begins the mass emailing to find a filler in under a weeks notice.

Mother's Day 08

This coming Sunday, I'll be dj-ing the DirtRoom with Jordan and Aleks. We'll be giving away tickets to the upcoming May 28th Anthrax show at the Double Door. Rumors are flying around that there will be a hard boiled egg eating contest and something about pickle juice and Bailey's.

I guess you'll have to be there to find out.

Strange Mating You Here.

I found this article about an Antartic fur seal trying to mate with a king penguin through a post from Notes from the Underwhelmed. I gotta say. It's hilarious.

Here's a couple excerpts from the BBC News article.

"Why the seal attempted to have sex with the penguin is unclear. But the scientists who photographed the event speculate that it was the behaviour of a frustrated, sexually inexperienced young male seal."

"After 45 minutes the seal gave up, swam into the water and then completely ignored the bird it had just assaulted, the scientists report."


Weird... I have no idea why, but it reminds me of a Saturday night at work........

Playlist for 5/5/08

So I dj-ed between sets at the Scum of the Earth show last night at the Double Door. The show didn't do as well as I had hoped but there were a lot of bands for a Monday night.

Scum of the Earth headlined and they went on right around midnight. Riggs wasn't feeling too well since he had gotten sick at their show in Green Bay. The band still played great. They played a short set though.

I picked up their new album Sleaze Freak. 10 bucks for 13 tracks. Check them out on their Myspace page.
