This is a documentary (yeah, so I’ve been on a kick lately….get off my back) on the cocaine trade starting in the early 70’s. Focusing on Miami, FL where the fun began. Interviews from cops, smugglers and some of Miami’s most dangerous criminals coupled with newstories of the day tell the horrific events that made Miami the murder capital of the world in the early 80’s.Â
 Remarkable footage from local news archives along with evidence photos and real life accounts from the gunmen themselves brings life to the cocaine wars of the 1980’s. Stunning to see the escalation of the drug trade, the ignorance (and corruption) of the US government and the economic boom (and fall) of Miami. Puts a whole new spin on Miami Vice.  Trailer after the jump.

It took me a little while for the Detroit Cobras to grow on me. They are strictly a cover band; they find obscure songs that most have forgot about. The music has got a great garage rock sound and the lead singer, Rachel Nagy, can really wail. Check out their myspace or go to Aural Fitness and check out their review of a recent show. There is another website that has done stories about the songs they have covered. I don’t know if it is still working, but you can check that that out too at http://detroitcobracovers.blogspot.com/

To whom it may concern. I have some very sad news to relay to all of our friends. One of our favorite Milwaukee watering holes has closed. I am speaking about Bryant’s Lounge. Sadly our friends closed their doors this past week. Please see the artcile below for more details.
Although I have no intention of ever purchasing a Washlet, I have made more than one visit to this website over the past few days. A friend of mine pointed me to it. If you view the site, be sure to view with sound.
The Washlet website is beautifully designed.  In going to the site you will find that there are six artificially intelligent personalities to supply informational testimonials on the merits this new toilet technology.  The characters are contstantly in motion as if they are living on your computer screen in an anxiously happy state…Their one purpose in life?… to give you the good news about the Washlet. I have developed a crush on the gal second from the left.
The guy third from left takes me laugh, and laugh…and laugh. Oh lordy… starving actors.
The Washlet is a toilet straight out of the 23rd century, and apparently they are already very common in Japan…go figure.Â
My brother Luke made a funny comment: “i know they’ve tested this on a the affluent and well groomed japenese. have they tested it on lazy, chilli eating, 300 pound americans?” Perhaps Luke’s Washlet will need a trip to the Monster Garage.
