Vincent Gallo is Scary

The ideologically breastfed are at it again, asking what could be more punk than conservatism? Because you know, punk is all about the rebellion, man. I'm going to start a punk band called Reactionary Tendencies. Screw thinking for yourself!

Speaking of conservativism, who knew that Vincent Gallo is a member of the dark side? And if you didn't get the message through all lame artistic posturing and shots of himself being fellated by Chloe Sevigny, here's proof that he's an ass.

The principal cast has been announced for Spamalot, the upcoming musical based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail. David Hyde Pierce will play Sir Robin, Tim Curry will play King Arthur and Hank Azaria will portray Sir Lancelot. (!!!) The show premieres in Chicago this winter.

Battles, one of my bands du jour, are going on tour again. They are (unfortunately) going to be sharing the stage with The Icarus Line—unquestionably one of the worst bands currently working—but I'm not worried. I've seen Battles at work. They will blow those prissy bitches off the stage.

It appears Vans is trying to capture the stoned hesher market with some new limited edition Old School Slayer Vans. And how much do you want to bet Hilary Duff couldn't spell Motorhead if she was looking at herself in the mirror? {Via stereogum}

Yahoo! News looks at the growing phenomenon of the MP3 blog: "MP3 blogs may help record labels market music that would otherwise never find an audience and provide an alternative to the zero-tolerance model that says any online songs that aren't purchased are stolen goods."

Appropriately enough, the font chosen for the 9/11 memorial cornerstone is Gotham, a striking sans-serif created by one of my favorite typographers: Tobias Frere-Jones of Hoefler & Frere-Jones.
