surprise

Imagine my surprise to see this beauty at the edge of my roof.
What the hell is it?






















Looking to spend a couple of dollars? The new Dirtbombs 7 is limited to 200 copies and available from Infirmary Phonographic, American Laundromat has a couple copies of The Pixies Tribute 7" and a limited Gore Gore Girls single can be pre-ordered at the bellyache candy shoppe. And don't forget a free 7” if you preorder Smile from insound.

I feel kind of bad that wind energy was left out of my barrage yesterday, so here is a slice of news from a Portland Press Herald piece about Saco, ME and their wind turbine. This single 1.2M (assumed) piece of equipment was completed last month but the darned wind has not cooperated to meet the town's pathetically low goal of saving $13K per year (90K kw/h). The barely spinning blade has only generated about $200 worth of electricity so far but one local resident still believes it was a good deal. Gil of nearby Transalvania tried to stay positive by glowingly stating: "She may not work well but she sure is pretty."
