Hello, I'm 485276612v2 - nice to meet you. What's your ID? Okay, so I'm already a number to the government anyway but sometimes technology is scary. Link via 2B.

Odd that up until two weeks ago I'd never heard the word lackadaisical, but since then it's popped up several times and Madrid even sent me to a site bearing this now infamous word as a title - and it's pretty cool, lots of rad photos.

It might say 404 but it's definetly not a file not found - some cool illustration work fer sure.

I love lists like this - just a bunch of off-site links to bands of interest. Good way to get your sample on.

Lotsa keen new shirts at the reworked Threadless.com - they've moved away from using Flash to present their designs.. I guess too many people were stealing the SWF's and making their own prints. The bleeding heart shirt is one of my favorites among the new line.

Finally, Punch-Drunk Love will be playing in Nashville starting Friday. Along with Jackass and Igby Goes Down starting here as well... now if Bowling For Columbine shows up I'll be satisfied.

Watch some Idea Juice flow - specifically the Illustration section. Those two people chewing are great.

I am tempted to see Spirited Away after watching that trailer simply for the fact that there seems to be a very strong Falkor vibe going on between two of the characters.

So why would this DC Sniper leave a message at all? It's so odd to see him starting to open up more and more which just means he'll get caught. I mean.. I'm all for him getting caught and all but it just doesn't seem to make sense. On a side note, I commend Chief Charles Moose for being so media concious - I think that's great. I do not, however, think it's great that they got an audio message from the sniper and asked him to call back because they couldn't understand it...

Needa waste some time at work? Play some stick figure Double Dragon. It's kewl.

If there was ever evidence of the majority of films being attempts at cash-cows - it is this. The world does not need another "Three Men and a Baby" installment. What about Cocoon 2? Oh wait.. that already happened.

Great news from the inbox. Demian 5 (the When I Am King comic creator) has a new series entitled Square Fiction. And on top of that, serializer.net seems to have a ton of good strips.

While I'm not a big fan of their sound, I think everyone should check out the video for The Pattern (the song is "Fragile Awareness") and see what you think of the art direction. I had a feeling ole Shepard Fairey was involved when I first saw it and now my suspicions have been confirmed.

Alright, you have to at least peek at the works of Joachim Knill. Unless you're turned off by surreal innovative photography techniques - then don't waste either of time. And then thank Jpurvis for sharing this enlightening link with us all.

I like that this Ben Folds article has a picture of Robert Sledge (Ben Folds Five bassist) with it instead of Ben Folds himself - smooth move there Rolling Stone - way to be on top of what's going on.

Great article by Woody Harrelson about this whole Iraq debacle our leader has gotten us into. Link stolen straight off of Chart No. 3.

National Geographic has some bizarre (and sometimes interesting) news. Check out this story on a "Mummified" Dinosaur found in Montana - definetly a cool discovery to find a dinosaur with it's flesh still somewhat attached. But what about this dinosaur - that's just got to be a joke. And dinosaur vomit?? What?

Some really nice photography by Ray Gordon. Mostly all people shots of some sort with some great arrangements and nice colors - but what I love the most is that so many of the pictures are just fun. I know that sounds.. umm.. ridiculous, but they are fun photos - a pleasure to look at. Nice presentation of the photo's too - though I'd say the blaring background music that can't be turned off is a terrible thing.

Here's a nifty trick for you kids out there - go listen to the new Creeper Lagoon song ("So Little To Give") in it's entirety - then open up your temporary internet files directory, find the file music3.swf, rename the file so the extension is .mp3 - and viola! Now you can listen whenever (and possibly wherever) you want.

Amusing and probably all too true insight from elephont.
