No more grinding?
A New Hampshire high school cancels dances because of students grinding on each other.
I can't say I'm completely surprised. Except in the article when one of the parents compares it to the jitterbug. Yeah, it's just like the jitterbug except instead of moving your feet around, you dry hump the other person. What an asshole. Don't get me wrong, like R. Kelly, I don't think there's anything "wrong with a little bump and grind", but I don't think it's weird that people don't want to see dry humping at school dances. Dry humping in front of your teachers is gross, man.
Can't we save the dry humping until we get to the Park n' Ride where we can properly romance in the back of the car?

Yet Another Great Reason For Girls To Try Bi
Lesbians get off more.
Speaking of the man who "gets off", where have I been? Andrew WK was on Conan the other night and I missed it, and he has a new album! Follow the link to check out "You Will Remember Tonight".
And don't forget to come to The Annex in Madison tomorrow for a night you will remember (or preferably, won't) when we hit the stage with The Goodyear Pimps. If you haven't seen them yet, you can't miss it. Their shows are kickass, it's also going to be our last Madison performance for a little while, so it will be a wicked party AND we'll have a new tune for you.
What you say!! Bring a Sunspot virign and you both get a free drink.

Wells Fargo Can Lick My Brown Growler
Do you pieces of shit even have anyone working today? You shuffle me around and I sit on hold for hours, you can't look anything up by my name and your representatives don't know shit. You realize that you have five different banks that do the same fucking thing and they all have the same name? And you can see my account in each of them, but only one bank can do anything about it and it's never yours? Do you comprehend how big of fucksticks that makes you people?
All just so I can ask about an 80 dollar "periodic finance charge" that magically showed up one day when you've already frontloaded the interest on the monthly payments? With no explanation.
I hope your mothers suck cocks in Hell. You ever see the end of Fight Club? I probably just got a red flag from the DOJ with that comment, but fuck it.
This is the tradeoff we've made for huge corporations running our lives (I don't wanna sound like a socialist because they always sound like whiny bitches who are entitled to something for breathing); the low prices that these companies deliver to us because of the huge volume of business they do isn't worth the time on hold, the awful customer service, the fact that you can't call anyone directly (so no one rep takes responsibility for your problem), and the fact that the people who are controlling your credit, your finances, your digital communications, the home you live in, etc... are faceless. They can fuck you as hard as they want to, keep the pantyhose over their heads, and we're powerless before them. We are owned inside someone's database and if they make a mistake in there, it can ruin our lives.
This is progress. God, I sound like such a Luddite, but this isn't George Bailey's Building and Motherfucking Loan. We did this to ourselves and we settle for it because "that's the way it is." Fuck that, we should know better.
I'm often embarrassed by humanity's tiny hearts, but today I'm embarrassed by our tiny brains.

Pack vs. Saints
It's 80 degrees in the frozen Tundra of Green Bay(!) today. Brett's having a better week than last, but we're still a point behind. :(

Built To Spill
These old guys are kicking ass. The Barrymore's packed and their three-guitar attack sounds great. Plus, Doug's mom lives in Madison!
Whatever happened to spanking?
Damn, this is a nasty punishment. This bitch stepmother made her kids eat until the puked and then eat the puke. Wow.
Their father is already serving a three-to-fifteen year sentence for abuse. Is it just me, or does that seem like a pretty big fuckin' variable for prison time? Well, you could be in prison for three years or it could be fifteen... Anyway, I hope he's in there for awhile, because that's not just abuse, it's torture. I was going to write that I hope he gets raped too, but then I thought the better of it after reading this Human Rights Watch article about what happens in U.S. prisons. And that made me realize that wishing that kind of punishment on someone is just as bad as why they're in there in the first place.
And knowing is half the battle.

NO SKINNY CHICKS
So a Madrid runway is putting a ban on models who are too skinny because it promotes an unhealthy body image. All models have to have a BMI of at least 18. It's not like that means we're gonna be watching Sumo wrestlers model bikinis anytime soon, it's just not underweight and wafer thin. You mean that advertising, fashion, and media's focus on looking as thin as possible might be having a harmful effect on people's self-esteem? Next they're going to say that we're desensitized to sexual imagery because we're surrounded by images of half-naked people who are trying to make us buy things!
I know we've gone over this before, but nothing prevents honest men from getting sweet love like a girl who thinks she's too fat. So, nice job, Spaniards. Thanks for Don Quixote too!

Ghost Tree!
Something spooky's happening in Malaysia.
I know that we're wired to see faces (especially of familiar things) in everything. Like the whole "grandmother cell" theory.
It reminds me of the Twilight Zone (from the first revival and not the second, which was okay, but not quite as good) where the woman sees faces in the cracks in the walls ("Something In The Walls"). That's an episode I think of all the time, actually. Whenever I see a face in a cloud, a pattern, or anything, I think about those faces in the walls. Like remember when Freddy peeks through the wall over Nancy in the first Nightmare on Elm Street? Yeah, that made me wet my Han Solo Underoos.

When It's Time To Party...
Alright, it's time to kick the Fall off in Eau Claire tonight and I can't fuckin' wait, friends. We've partied at The Stone's Throw a dozen times before and tonight's gonna be an special time to rock because of the Eau Claire Throwdown that's happening at the Ramada across the street. If you save your ticket stub to that event, you get in free to the Throw, which is hosting the official party across the street. And if you play your cards right, you just might get to fight the band (if you were at Barn Bash, then you've seen it happen for real in the mudslide!)
Tomorrow, it's The Clearwater Beer Festival where it's all you can drink. The party starts at 3pm and goes until 7. It's beers from New Glarus, Capital, Lakefront, City, Goose Island and more! In the words of Jar Jar, "Yousa people gonna die?"

Beast of Bray Road
Anyone see this movie based on the alleged werewolf in Walworth County? Anyway, it looks kinda cool and if it's about paranormal and Wisconsin, I'd like to see it.
I remember hearing about it on the local news way back when, but much like the hauntings in Horicon that happened in the early 90's I thought they were kinda BS. (Timelady and I went to a discussion about those hauntings in the mid-90's by someone that supposedly investigated it, but we realized he was an idiot when he started talking about how Dungeons & Dragons is one of the gateways to Hell. If your definition of Hell is not getting laid, then yeah, I can see the point, but I can't imagine rolling a 20-sided dice would lead you anywhere but to a swirlie (and I'd definitely click on that link, I've never heard of the "chocolate sundae" before and that is truly a brilliant brand of adolescent torture. Did I ever tell you about my friend that gave himself a swirlie? I'll tell that story sometime when we're 80's reminiscing, he's a lawyer now.)
Anyway, if you wanna read up on the Beast of Bray Road, here's a website with some history on it: http://www.beastofbrayroad.com/ (I know, creative title.) I would have linked to Weird Wisconsin, which used to be THE place for cool Wisconsin paranormal stories, but it looks like that site's been down for construction for awhile. That makes-a Salvatore wanna cry-a.

Too bad her name wasn't Ethyl
All apologies to Alice for the lame title but What the Hell were these Wisconsin corpsefuckers thinking?? They made an elaborate plan to have sex with a dead body and went to Wal-Mart to buy condoms? Jesus, if you're already gonna do it with a stiff, you might as well ride bareback. Just some more dudes who give America's Dairyland a good name.
If you're looking for a good necrophilia movie, check out Kissed, a Canadian film that features Alma Garrett (Molly Parker, who's in American version of The Wicker Man that came out this last weekend, too) from Deadwood. I caught it on IFC a couple of years ago and it's not exploitative as you'd think. Plus, it has a good Sarah Maclachlan soundtrack.

Femtroopers
I dunno how my nerd radar missed this one, but I love it. It's better than Leia in the gold bikini for the submissive types.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Well, that's it for the crocodile hunter. It's sad to see a guy go who was so enthusiastic about animals. His family had to know the risks, but that doesn't really make it easier on them. Next time I see a croc in the wild, I'll honor you Steve by trying not to poop my pants and by remembering how to wrestle it into submission.

Two Chances to Rock Madison This Weekend
Sunspot will be performing live and free outside Chadbourne Residential College downtown Saturday at 5pm, stop by if you're at the Taste of Madison and say hi.
And then come down later to the Warehouse Stage and get drunk with Grinder, where I perform Rob Halford in a tribute to the mighty Judas Priest.
Oh, and I finally saw Jase's Sunspot videos on YouTube and they kick ass. I could honestly spend the rest of the weekend watching YouTube (not just the Sunspot videos, I'm not that big of an asshole, but I'm close.)
