Tony Bennett: We lost a super terrific cat who made the world groove to his music. We'll miss you. Wonderful.
always have been curious about iggy . . . is it just old age or did he live a fast life of booze/drugs/and what not, that made him look the way he does now?
Doesn't he look like what any slender 64 year old who hasn't had plastic surgery would look like if he grew his hair out?

nope, 'cause despite how much you hate their reinventions it's hard to call them ill-advised. they were critical darlings, sold a buttload of albums, sold out the ensuing tours, etc etc. when you see the list tonight, even you will have to admit that "kid a" doesn't belong with the others.Kiss's Music From The Elder is on there isn't it?

During last Wednesday?s Sting concert at Pier Six Concert Pavilion, a man wearing a gigantic bear head got on stage a minute and twenty seconds into a performance of The Police song ?Next to You? and started shaking his head, waving his hands in the air, and dancing about the stage.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vko3zN8Vp3I
A YouTube video of the performance shows a clearly confused Sting giving a puzzled look over his shoulder as the man continued to shimmy around the bassist and pointing his thumb back toward the bear-man while mouthing the words, ?Who?s that??
The video, which you can see below, shows the man wearing the bear head dancing with various members of Sting?s backing band for about a minute and generally having what appears to be a pretty good time. There is no footage of what happened to the man wearing the bear head or when he left (or was escorted off) the stage. City Paper is seeking information regarding the identity of the man with the bear head. All tips can be sent to editorial@citypaper.com.

After the Westboro Baptist Church threatened to picket the funerals of Boston Marathon bombing victims, a group calling itself the Satanic Temple decided that enough was enough. So they performed a "Pink Mass" at the grave of Westboro founder Fred Phelps's mother ? a ritual they claim has made her a lesbian. "We believe that Fred Phelps is obligated to believe that his mother is now gay in the afterlife," Satanic Temple spokesperson Lucien Greaves told Vice. Same-sex couples are invited to visit her Miss. grave and make out so that Phelps's mother will be "pleasured in the afterlife" (by lady spirits, we assume). The Temple says it will turn more of Phelps's dead relatives gay if the Westboro Baptists continue to "picket funerals or applaud horrific terrorist actions." [Source]

A fan of the world-conquering boy band, One Direction, reportedly killed her pet chihuahua after the band didn't respond to her on Twitter. The woman posted a photo of a chihuahua being choked, demanding the members of One Direction to "FOLLOW ME OR I'LL BREAK MY DOG'S NECK." After a couple weeks with no response, she posted a photo of her with a seemingly dead dog and the caption, "I LOVE YOU PLEASE FOLLOW ME MY DOG JUST DIED." This is obviously incredibly disturbing-- but, fortunately, it's starting to look like a hoax. The woman has also posted similar tweets, with fairly absurd pictures, threatening to kill her mom and blend her cat if One Direction doesn't follow her. Regardless of the story's truth, angry 1D fans have started a petition to imprison her. What a world we live in. (via The Daily Mail. Their pictures are a little NSFW and also just fucked up.)
"Prolific" isn't adequate to describe Robert Pollard. Hot off the heels of the very-good Honey Locust Honky Tonk, he's pulled a Robert Pollard and announced six forthcoming releases with his various projects, all slated for the next few months. There'll be two solo 7"s, a solo LP, a couple Circus Devils LPs, and, finally, another new Guided By Voices LP. Although listening to every Pollard release became an impossible (and largely unnecessary) task over a decade ago, everything he touches still manages to turn at least partially to gold. I suppose we'll have to keep using "prolific" until the ultra-prolific Pollard branches out into writing doctrines on semantics. Listen to one of the 7"s via Stereogum. Details about the new releases are after the jump.
Robert Pollard-- "Tonight's The Rodeo," out October 15 on GBV Inc.
Robert Pollard-- "Return Of The Drums," out November 26 on Fire and GBV Inc.
Robert Pollard-- Blazing Gentlemen, out December 10 on GBV Inc.
Circus Devils-- When Machines Attack, out October 29 on Happy Jack Rock

EVERETT, Pennsylvania (KRON) ? A Pennsylvania teenager is facing criminal charges after posting pictures to Facebook of him simulating a sex act with a statue of Jesus.(http://news.kron4.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/desecration.jpg)
The young man posted that he took the pictures in late July at the statue of a kneeling Jesus in front of the ?Love in the Name of Christ? Christian organization in his hometown of Everett.
The criminal charge, which will be heard in family court, consists of ?Desecration of a Venerated Object.?
Pennsylvania law defines desecration as ?Defacing, damaging, polluting or otherwise, physically mistreating in a way that the actor knows will outrage the sensibilities of persons likely to observe or discover the action.?
The teen, whose name has not been released, could face up to two years in a juvenile jail if convicted.

"The point isn't just to help U2 but less well known artists and others in the industry who can't make money, as U2 does, from live performance. 'Songwriters aren't touring people,' says Bono. 'Cole Porter wouldn't have sold T-shirts. Cole Porter wasn't coming to a stadium near you.'"
U2 and Apple working on "Secret Project" to save the music industryI have the scoop: its the iGlasses. Apple's version of Google Glass that automatically runs all guitar sounds through shitty effects pedals and poorly translates lyrics into Portuguese. Unlike Google Glass, they're permanently welded to your head so people know what a douche you are 24/7.
Bono's sentiment is a breath of fresh air compared to usual tech writers BS that all music should be free because all musicians make their touring and via t-Shirt sales.I agree with that completely but its obnoxious coming from a guy whose band makes half a billion per tour. I wish the Future Islands, and Death Cab For Cuties, and Waxahatchees had the courage to step up and talk about how music is damaged by file sharing and how it literally takes food out of their mouths.

Any idea as to why the VA election has not bee called yet? It seems that the lead that Warner's has makes him pretty much a lock.
Any idea as to why the VA election has not bee called yet? It seems that the lead that Warner's has makes him pretty much a lock.
only thing i can think of is that many absentee ballots have not been counted and maybe a large number of these are from military so they might skew heavily for gillespie...
i don't get it either...17,000 is a pretty hard number to come back from...
Here is a question for you. In VA, if an election is decided by ˝% or less, the state will pay for a recount if requested by the potential losing candidate. That number would be roughly 11,000 votes in this election. With the difference being 16,727 as of the latest tally, it seems unlikely that Gillespie could catch Warner. However, it is not far fetched to think he can close to within the 11,000 or so to qualify for a state funded recount. If the count does end up with a difference should the potential loser (probably Gillespie) request a state funded recount?Didn't an election fall just inside the 1/2% margin recently in Virginia and the loser conceeded because he did not want the state to pay for it? Its too early in the morning for me to remember who it was, though.
Correction, the criteria for a recount at state cost is slightly different from what I suggested above (although looking back my previous statement was ambiguous). It is not ˝% of the total votes cast in the election for that office, it is ˝% of the votes cast for the candidate involved in the recount. There are actually three criteria where the recount is state funded...
>> The candidate challenging the results is declared the winner after the recount.
>> The petitioners in a recount of a referendum win the recount.
>> The final margin between the candidate challenging and the candidate winning the recount is not more than 1/2 of 1% of the total votes cast for the two candidates prior to the recount.

Maybe you've joked about undergoing elective surgery to get a song out of your head (most recent examples include "Too Many Cooks" and 2012's inescapable "Call Me Maybe"), but Zoey Fennessy, who has seizures whenever she hears any Ne-Yo track, has actually done it. Yes, Fennessey ? who freezes and starts vomiting whenever she hears Ne-Yo (trying like hell to stifle jokes here) ? underwent brain surgery to alleviate her symptoms.
The 26-year-old, who suffers from a rare illness called musicogenic epilepsy and doesn't even dislike Ne-Yo, recently tried to explain her medical phenomenon to the Daily Mail: "[Doctors] are saying it could possibly be something in the tone of his voice, something like that, but it doesn't happen when I hear Usher, or people like him who have a very similar sound," she said. "It is only him, only Ne-Yo."
To help cure her symptoms, doctors removed part of Fennessy's left temporal lobe, which she says has helped to an extent, but she still suffers from seizures when Ne-Yo comes on. Ugh, this is just "So Wrong," Ne-Yo. We're not in any way "Jealous." You're making a woman "So Sick." And it's all "Because of You."
I guess her risk assessment skills were also impaired. Brain surgery vs. not listening to Ne-Yo. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Weight gain is a side effect of certain medicationsOh, fuck off. Does the medication shovel the mashed potatoes directly into her mouth? Does the medication stop the fundamental laws of thermodynamics from working? Does the medication -- which almost certainly did not affect her metabolism in any real significant way but let's pretend -- make her incapable of increasing her calories burned through exercise or reducing her food intake to counterbalance her the effect of her medications? She's fat because she's a lazy, stupid being. Your constant fat acceptance on here is disgusting and nauseating. It's the moral equivalent of bringing a case of vodka and a kilo of coke to a rehab center.

Just from the image, obviously the "sad" character is fat. That's obvious. The thought that no one who is fat should ever be depicted as "sad" because we have to make fat people feel good about themselves is where things go full cuckoo bananas.

WTF website is that?It appears to be some sort Chinese news source with a section dedicated to bizarre stories. I saw the article on voat.co.
George Zimmerman, is reportedly teaming up with a Florida gun store owner who wants to make his shop a ?Muslim-free zone? to sell prints of the Confederate flag with the slogan ?the 2nd protects the first,? (http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/george-zimmerman-teams-up-with-florida-%e2%80%98anti-muslim-zone%e2%80%99-gun-shop-owner/ar-BBlQODA?ocid=spartanntp)YOU BEAT ME TO IT!!!
...and the real threat here is...Do they still do the Darwin Awards? This guy needs submitted.
Man guarding ?Muslim-free? gun range bends over, drops weapon, accidentally shoots self"Oh, yeah, I saw those guys being stupid with their weapons yesterday. I let them back in today, because, ya know, America. Muslims though. That's the real problem."
A man guarding a ?Muslim-free? gun range in Oktaha, Oklahoma accidentally shot himself while practicing poor gun safety etiquette, KOTV?s Richard Clarke reports.
The man, whose name was not released, belonged to a group that volunteered to stand guard outside of Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear after the store?s owner received death threats for installing a sign denying Muslims the right to patronize his establishment.
Muskogee County Sheriff Charles Pearson evinced no surprise about the accidental shooting, saying that he ?saw several of those gentlemen out there yesterday. The way they were holding their weapons, with the fingers on the triggers, you can tell a couple of these gentlemen have no idea about weapons safety. It?s like the Clampetts have come to town.?

As usual Rhett is a complete piece of troll shit. Cites a neocon website who Jimmy rigged statistics with an odd set of years to get what they wanted. The fact the ONE mass shooting in Norway had so many fatalities because people were trapped on an island in no way counteracts the fact it was 1/38th as many incidents as the U.S. in the same time.
No reputable statistician would say the U.S. is seventh in mass shooting because of some esoteric breakdown of total deaths broken down per capita over a statistically insignificant time period at all. That's insane. It also can't fucking count to seven. That's Rhett's ace in the hole: a website that proclaims the U.S. Is at number seven in some insane metric multiple times but by their own fucking insane metric has them at six. Yes, let's listen to the defunct website assholes who lose count the second they have to count higher than the number of fingers on one hand.
I swear you're absolute human garbage.

I won't get into personal opinions of you, since we've never had the pleasure of meeting it wouldn't really be fair, but...
The total population of the other 11 countries on that list is about the same as the population of the United States (actually, slightly less). Those 11 countries have 18 rampage shooting listed. The US has 38. So yes, the US wins. But with nearly half the amount, it's not like rampage killing is nonexistent in the rest of the Western world.
Are you trying to imply that only center and left leaning websites are useful when presenting evidence to support one's opinion? I'm not sure what you're getting at there.

Between this kid, the clock kid, and the kid in VA who got expelled for having a leaf that only looked like marijuana, school administrators around the country are pretty much looking like the dumbest people on earth these days.
Between this kid, the clock kid, and the kid in VA who got expelled for having a leaf that only looked like marijuana, school administrators around the country are pretty much looking like the dumbest people on earth these days.Wait, someone made something that definitely looked like what bombs look like in media depictions and a school administrator called the police to determine if it was, in fact, not a bomb after the student -- by multiple accounts -- refused to engage in any discussion with his teachers about it. Yes, what an idiot that administrator looks like, following the proper protocol for every school district everywhere in the country.
If a school authoritarian thinks something might possibly be a bomb then the next thing to do would be to evacuate the school. They didn't. Because they knew it wasn't a bomb.I thought they did evacuate the school? Perhaps I am mistaken?

Are you saying the administrators were right and the kid was wrong?
If that's the case why is the President trying to portray the kid as some kind of hero/martyr?
what IS the president thinking?!?!?You don't think this is entirely overblown? A reasonable person can go "hmm, I am not an expert on bombs but that definitely looks weird," maybe I should get an expert to look at this, and a professional then speaks to the student about it for about 90 minutes after school. The kid is charged with nothing, and received a huge outpouring of support and in fact told Mark Cuban that because of the scholarship offers he's gotten to private high schools and free stuff that this thing is "the best thing that's ever happened to him."

http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/09/will-damian-lewis-be-the-next-james-bond.html?utm_source=PMNL&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=150929I predict the first Bond movie with him will be quite good, a real surprise, but he'll survive and live through it even though storywise there was not much left for his character. The second movie will be a whirling dervish that tonally craps on everything good about the first one and will defy all logic. The third one will involve no real bad guy and be obsessed with his relationship to a Bond girl we don't care about at all and will end with him dying about 2 movies too late. Then they'll spin off the Bond girl to her own franchise which will be surprisingly not terrible.
Explaining the joke always makes it funnier...To be fair, it wasn't one of my better efforts to begin with.

(CHAMPLIN, Minn.) ? A suburban Minneapolis woman is accused of sending anonymous notes to a neighboring family saying that she wanted to ?taste? their children.(https://timedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/children-stalking-cha_wong.jpg?quality=75&strip=color&w=731)
Champlin Deputy Police Chief Ty Schmidt said 38-year-old Carrie Pernula was charged Thursday by summons with stalking and disorderly conduct.
Police say Pernula was upset because the children made noise and left items in her yard.
WCCO-TV reports the first anonymous note arrived Sept. 27 by mail and said: ?The children look delicious. May I have a taste?? The family has two elementary school students.
The family then began to receive magazine subscriptions addressed to ?tasty children.?
Police traced the magazines and arrested Pernula last Friday. She was released from jail Monday.
Pernula?s attorney, Debbie Lang, called it ?an unfortunate and complicated situation for everyone involved.?

One of the two military surveillance blimps that has been watching the East Coast from Maryland has broken free of its mooring at Aberdeen Proving Ground and is now drifting over Pennsylvania, authorities said.
Two F-16 fighter jets from an Air National Guard base in Atlantic City, N.J., are monitoring the unmanned aircraft, and the North American Aerospace Defense Command is working with the Federal Aviation Administration "to ensure air traffic safety," a spokesman said. The blimp is drifting at an altitude of 16,000 feet.

Not to defend the guy or the severity of the sentence, but I think he only had sex with one 17 year-old hooker. Other than that, the charges are mostly about condoning (and watching) child porn made by the head of his charity.

Turns out that our Reese's are Reese in Canada. Your least useful fact of the day.
In Canada, where they are packaged as Reese Peanut Butter Cups (except Reese's pieces), but still widely referred to by their American name, they come in a standard pack of three 0.55 oz. cups or the king-size variation with four cups.

The citizens of Woodland, N.C. have spoken loud and clear: They don't want none of them highfalutin solar panels in their good town. They scare off the kids. "All the young people are going to move out," warned Bobby Mann, a local resident concerned about the future of his burg. Worse, Mann said, the solar panels would suck up all the energy from the Sun.
Another resident?a retired science teacher, no less?expressed concern that a proposed solar farm would block photosynthesis, and prevent nearby plants from growing. Jane Mann then went on to add that there seemed to have been a lot of cancer deaths in the area, and that no one could tell her solar panels didn't cause cancer. ?I want information," Mann said. "Enough is enough."

St. Matthews, a suburb of about 18,000 people outside of Louisville, is a normally quiet city that sees no more than two murders a year, McDonald said. ?I?ve been a police officer 33 years, and I haven?t ever seen anything like this before,? he said. ?We always plan for worst-case scenario, but this exceeded that.?
you know, this is totally belittling the situation that innocent people could have gotten hurt and damages and all that . . . but i still cant believe, people actually go to malls. when i went Christmas shopping, it was like, wow, these places still do stay afloat.Are they? I feel like all of them are being "revamped" as "town centers" or something like that. They're all god damn nightmares.
The Offspring just sold their entire catalog for $35 million (http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/01/the-offspring-just-sold-their-entire-catalog-for-35-million/)
So when they were popular The Offspring?s catalog allegedly produced $3.1 million in net publisher or net label revenueThe Offspring just sold their entire catalog for $35 million (http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/01/the-offspring-just-sold-their-entire-catalog-for-35-million/)
Here's the money shot: ?We have some masters like the Bush catalog . . . but we wanted more exposure and you won?t get a more high-quality catalog than The Offspring.?
So when they were popular The Offspring?s catalog allegedly produced $3.1 million in net publisher or net label revenueTo be fair, the music and movie business has long been a shell game where "net" profits are extremely tiny on paper for tax purposes. Every time George Lucas flies somewhere and speaks at a nerd convention, the cost of the trip is deducted from Star Wars' net profit. The Offspring have sold 36 million albums. The idea that the record label only "profited" between 8 and 9 cents per sale is ludicrous.
so since it's been close to 2 decades since we've been popular...why wouldn't a company want to pay 10x the total revenue we made

That said, I agree with your general point that I don't see how they hope to recoup that much money for it in 2016 onward unless "Keep 'Em Separated" is tailor-made for commercials and I am just missing it.

The plan is this (and it's been going on for a while): The record companies are going to renegotiate their deals with the streaming companies (most current deals are about 3 years) and the record company revenues are going to increase in the future. By doing deals like this, they're hedging that by owning both the label and the artists' rights, they'll be able to turn profits by buying cheap "popular" assets that will be played over and over again.
I don't agree with it, but that's the theory.

Police called to McDonald's over claims staff fat-shamed teenage girl for ordering six cheeseburgers
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/police-called-mcdonalds-over-claims-7138115
(https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/v/t1.0-9/12495212_940859929337157_2493589793625660275_n.jpg?oh=30428c12f5fe10254143c24c4d9d845c&oe=57454C9C)
According to their website, one McDonald's cheeseburger contains 301 calories and a regular portion of fries comes in at 337 calories.
This means, if one woman were to consume six cheeseburgers and four portions of fries, they would take in almost 3,500 calories - 1,500 calories more than the recommended daily amount.
They would also consume twice the recommended amount of fat and more than twice the recommended amount of salt.

'Americans everywhere' as wind blows 1,500 U.S. partiers to Canada
An estimated 1,500 Americans illegally and unexpectedly washed up in Canada late Sunday after strong winds blew them across the St. Clair River near Sarnia, Ont.
They were participating in the annual Port Huron Float Down, during which people simply float down the river on rafts, inner tubes and other flotation devices from Port Huron, Mich.
High winds pushed them to a number of points along the Canadian shore. They had to be rescued by Sarnia police, the OPP, the Canadian Coast Guard, Canada Border Service Agency and employees from a nearby chemical company Lanxess Canada

More than 30 journalists of color at the Philadelphia Inquirer are calling out sick today in protest of systemic racism; others are taking part in a byline strike. This was prompted by the paper's disastrous 'Buildings Matter, Too' headlineI'm sure after a lot of outrage they changed the headline

Editor’s Note: A headline published in Tuesday’s Inquirer was offensive, inappropriate and we should not have printed it. We deeply regret that we did. We also know that an apology on its own is not sufficient. We need to do better. We’ve heard that loud and clear, including from our own staff. We will. A detailed explanation of how we got this so wrong will follow later today.

Russian security services on Monday have been accused of staging a Ukrainian assassination attempt by releasing photos of confiscated copies of “The Sims” video games that some speculate were mistaken by Kremlin officers for SIM cards.
One photo shows a crisp red t-shirt with a swastika on it, inexplicably laid out next to three copies of the video game “The Sims 3.”
