Under Obamacare, the President of the United States can issue prescriptions to anyone whenever he damn well pleases, even to illegal immigrants or, in this case, old people set to be condemned by death panels. JUST KIDDING, CONSERVATIVES.

Björk's Real Debut

Björk's Real Debut:

roamin:

WFMU

In 1993, Icelandic singer Björk Guðmundsdóttir, better known just as Björk, recorded her album Debut, which kicked of her solo career after the breakup of The Sugarcubes. What few people know (OK, maybe not quite so few, as it is mentioned in the Wikipedia article and it even got a bad review on AMG) is that Björk’s real debut came out 16 years earlier, a self-titled album released only in Iceland, at a time when she was 12 years old.

Björk sings and plays flute, and the backing band is led by her stepfather Saevar Arnason on guitar. The album allegedly went platinum in Iceland (which means it sold more than 5000 copies), and though it never saw an official re-release, there are lots of bootleg CDs and even bootleg LPs in circulation. The wonderful cover was designed by Björk’s mother Hildur Hauksdóttir.

Considering that this is a 70’s hippie disco album with an 11-year old singer and flutist, I find it surprisingly good. My favorites are Björk’s own instrumental composition Jóhannes Kjarval , a tribute to the painter Jóhannes Kjarval, and an Icelandic cover version of the Beatles’ Fool on the Hill, Álfur út úr hól .

That Fool on the Hill cover is pretty good.

Not only are we losing these great index cards, but also the sound and feel of opening and closing the drawers. A confident and solid sound.

“Sub Kit,” you say? “Layered for Easy Prep,” you say? Think about it, people. Never again will you have to manually layer the ham and turkey for your sub.

The Sandwich singularity is upon us.

So it’s just like Subway, without the annoying FIVE DOLLA FOOTLONG jingle.

I am guessing there is a premium paid for this.

Flea market find. Cover scan of issue of Radio-Craft magazine from 1934. The parallels between this and internet magazines of the late 1990’s is scary. The “Broadcast Station List” is pretty much like an issue of WebBound, which used to list all known URLs. Serious.

“

If you’re a little kid who gets hurt doing something that your parents warned you against, the lesson you’re going to learn is to listen to your parents. If you’re a little kid who doesn’t get hurt by doing something that your parents warned you against, the lesson you’re going to learn is that you can get away with not listening to your parents.

If you’re a little kid who does something that your parents warned you against, and it not only SAVES YOUR LIFE, but also makes you the RICHEST KID ON EARTH, the lesson you’re going to learn is to ALWAYS DO THE OPPOSITE of what your parents tell you.

And for 200 years, right up until Vietnam, THAT WAS AMERICA. We not only SURVIVED, but also SUCCEEDED, BECAUSE we did the opposite of what every other nation on Earth did, and said that we should do too. I can’t think of a better recipe for turning anyone into more of a die-hard contrarian than that.

Blu-Ray

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:31:00 -0700

Meijer has a blu-ray player for $99 (shipped!) and Wal-Mart has one for $128. These are great prices, but it has to hurt Sony PS3 sales. For a while, the $399 console was your best option for a Blu-Ray that also got you nextgen gaming in the same package.

Now it is not looking like a great deal. I am not going to be able to convince my wife to approve a $399 PS3 “because it also has a Blu-Ray player.”

Maybe we will see a price drop from Sony soon.

Reblogging for two reasons:

1) This gag has always made me laugh

2) I have “liked” about 10 of drylow’s posts tonight. So far, there are 21 pages of every great pic/shop from fark/something awful/worth1000/etc. It is really a museum of the truly awesome interweb of the past few years.
