Thursday is now Old School Hotties day!

Do you have a taste for electronic music that isn’t all beep-boop-beep-(is the amyl nitrate kicking in yet)-boop? Are you intrigued by the idea of a hot Mexican chica with a voice reminiscent of Nico? Want to know what it would be like to be sung to by a despondently sultry, hispanic computer?

Then turn your ear-holes to Veneno Para Las Hadas. (That’s “Poison for the Fairies”, for you monolinguistic readers.)

Personal favorite: “Jetlag”, a perfect little ditty for keeping yourself loose and limber as you drive way too fast down empty highways in the dead of night, itching for a fatal accident. As an added bonus, it’s in English!

If you suffered from cerebral palsy, and spent a decade trapped in an institution labeled as a mental defective, what would it do to you? Could you stand to write about what it inspired in you upon your release? Would you ask to have the deepest frustrations and most isolation-addled musings it left you turned into entertainment? Would it let itself be written? Would it let itself be read? Who would let it see the light of day? Would it want this? Would it rather remain mute? Would it kill you? What is it like?

Anyone give a shit about this?

Devo’s Beautiful World features Burlesque dancers, grenades, WWI German soldiers, riots, and a special cameo appearance by the KKK in a wonderful display of disdain for humanity.

Casale: “That’s a song that was written with the video in mind. The video idea preceded the song. We start off with silly imagery taken from archival film libraries of just stupid stuff – Americana pop culture stuff from the past and silly imagery of silly people, then slowly start warping it over darker and darker things – Ku Klux Klan race riots, war, suffering, atomic bomb, starvation. It transforms from one thing to another.”

yeah this is good times.

I found this site that pretty much sums up the greatness of Action Park. Check out the following excerpt about the Tarzan Swing. (PS: Can you believe the site is called “Domain of Death 3″?)

Lets start off with the Tarzan Swings which were, and still are, a spectacle of pain. The swing was huge first off; the beam to hold them must have hovered 30 feet above the water. The swings (there were three) had a triangle shaped bar to hang onto and riders would swing from platforms that were about 15 feet above the water. The goal of this attraction was to successfully swing over the bulk of the water and let go at the pinnacle of your swing; it rarely ever went that way though.

      This is what would normally happen: You grab onto the bar, tumble off the platform, and then you forget to tuck you’re legs in to avoid hitting the surface of the water and finally you faceplant into the pool. I remember seeing one kid not let go of the swing at all; he reached the apex of the swing, started traveling backwards, and then slammed into this padded wall just under the platform. He then dropped like a dead bird into the water and had to swim the entire length of the pool to get out…which must be the worst possible thing ever.

We have a new category, anti-social.com. Post anything you want to about it.

What can you expect from a band with a name like Sudden Infant? A bunch of fucking noise, mostly.

Personal favorite: Angelic Agony, as it used to cause my ex fits of laughter whenever she heard it… without which I probably never would have figured out what the singer was… singing?

Kyle’s theme song? Yes for now, but someday that will change.
