The Iron Sheik is completely different than I remember him from my childhood.   I think the excessive cocaine use has really gotten to him.   I think he’s even crazier than The Ultimate Warrior… He’s pretty crazy now, but really he was crazy then too.   I’m not sure what is up with the Iron Sheik, but he’s pretty whacked out now.   This is in no way Safe For Work ™

Okay… The more I listen to Bon Iver the more I like them… Something about it just strikes me as a very honest form of music.  I dig that.  I like feeling in music (like when Ani Difranco sings The Million You Never Made)

So here is the SxSW (South by Southwest NPR) Bon Iver Concert  [Which I reccomend listening to regularly…lots of good stuff on there…)

Bon Iver doing an accapella version of For Emma

Here they are doing Lump Sum in a sort of low key setting…

And my favourite song in a sort of weird low key party setting…

 

And for all the frenchies reading this… here are some links…

Part 1

Part 2

I’m not sure why I like paper art so much.   It looks very delicate, time consuming, and horribly frustrating.   I know I would completely shred whatever I was making after ripping it several times and absolutely losing my patience.   So it is basically anathema to me.   I guess that is why I find it so amazing… it seems unimaginable to me that anyone could do this, and then would continue to do it multiple times.   Amazing.

 

Examples of paper craft artists

I think my favourite is Peter Callesen though.

Okay….the fact that this is at real speed is just ridiculous… I’d love to ride with someone like this in an F3000 car (Is that the same as F1?  I have no idea…)   I’d probably have to wear a diaper, but man it would be sweet.
