pterodactyl, in color

pterodactyl have made a fun fun "music video."

Animal Collective?

Animal Collective "rarities" are here. Found via SeeqPod (which is like Hype Machine but better).

Do you guys like Animal Collective? I'm giving them a second chance, and suspect they may grow on me. Alternatively, I may get bored quickly and leave like I did before the end of the Akron Family show.

I'm getting bored...

a political aside

"When he was approached near the House floor by a reporter, Mr. Young responded with an obscene gesture."
NY Times, 7 June 2007

Rep. Don Young (R-AL) may be trying to set a record for longest-distance pork. NY Times article here. Key funny bit:

Asked in a telephone interview who had organized the fund-raiser, Mr. Mazurkiewicz, the consultant, said he was then at another fund-raiser with a member of Mr. Mack’s staff who would know.

“Aronoff,” the staff member told Mr. Mazurkiewicz, within earshot of his mobile phone.

“Just some local businessmen,” Mr. Mazurkiewicz said into the phone.

Pterodactyl are a band!

So, my friend's pterodactyl-- ha ha... that would be cool to have a pet pterodactyl.


Pterodactyl have released their first full-length album! Yay! Check out the review at the ever-ridiculous Pitchfork, or read something that actually describes the music in words instead of in band names at a place called Dusted. Pitchfork has a couple of tracks up for listening and the band has more mp3s scattered around their site. Warning: many people possibly including your neighbors or your girlfriend will not like this music. Some people just can't handle the rock and roll.
