fake plastic humans

In light of Yasser Arafat's death, CNN posed a "what if" scenario that basically explained how Arafat's gravesite will be mobile, just in case East Jerusalem ever becomes a Palestinian state. Naturally, we can expect Arafat's decaying corpse to remain in the same place for the rest of eternity. Unless they move it to Graceland. For insightful banter into the psyche of Yasser, visit buddy Rube.

Those of you who missed the open mic last night missed a gem of a performance from Alex and Autumnattic's Aaron. They played Fallback Girl onstage, and then an encore of Voices Fade after the Underground had cleared out. There was also a featured performance from the Valiant's golden hearted Jamie Schefman. Look for the Valiant to rock some worthless frat house in East Lansing on Friday. Stay tuned for information on upcoming appearances. Look to Autumnattic for the first word.

It seems that the University of Michigan has found a remedy for the alarmingly high volume of file-shareres on campus. The U will now allow for monthly fee to be paid in exchange for unlimited access to their million song library. What this library consists of, I am not sure. It could, for that matter, be full of classical albums and books on tape, but I'm sure you can find an occasional Dylan album or, GASP, Sex Pistols record. Spend away, penny pinchers.

Bright Eyes has the #1 and #2 singles in the COUNTRY! Your eyes do not deceive you. He has beat out the likes of Alicia Keyes, Usher, Britney, Ashlee, Chingy, or any other popster with his double EP preview of his forthcoming double LP release in January. Way to go, Conor, but hey, don't let it go to your head ya indie bastard.

Okay, the Polar Express has opened to mediocre reviews. Some say it's legendary Xmas lore, others call it zombified, humans dipped in some plastic like subsatnce. What will happen when Bob Parr of the Incredibles goes face to face with Tom Hanks' train conductor? Disney/Pixar obviously has the edge, but the Polar Express seems to have an unfortunate grip on those longing for another "Santa Clause."

Finally, because it's a guilty pleasure, go watch the fucking "I Don't Wanna Know" video.
