I just had to report that we have discovered the best sandwich shop ever: "The Brown Sack" on Armitage and Lawndale. In addition to amazing sandwiches I also noticed they had shakes, mac n' cheese, rootbeer floats and cornbread. Very exciting development.
Also I have discovered that if you put anything - ANYTHING (other than a garbage bag) - in the back alley it will be retrieved by scavengers in no less than 20 minutes.

Holy smokes, my brother was bitten by a brown recluse spider! I didn't even know until my mom told me. Apparently he had to take a few days off of work b/c he could walk, but is now okay. Jesus. Watch out for those spiders!
Today I am going to weed out some dandelions in our "yard" to hopefully make way for a grill.

Hey Kraska, Firewater is on WERS right now.
Being the old-time CARCASS fan I was (am), I have to admit that the first time I listened to "Heartwork" I was taken aback, even a bit disappointed. But after a few listens, my opinion about it was radically changed. The hell with all the preconceived expectations, this is musical greatness.

2. slate's "dispatches from the r. kelly trial."
some new log cabin facts from today's testimony: Along with the logs, the lower level of Kelly's former residence includes a short lap pool and a basketball court with a mural depicting the singer shooting hoops with the Tasmanian Devil.
and
On cross-examination, Adam Jr. repeatedly confirms that Jamison relied exclusively on her best friend's face and hair to identify the girl and time-stamp the video. "You can't tell by looking at a person's vagina how old they are, can you?" he asks, then takes a stab at answering his own question: "I don't think you can." Once it's well-established that Jamison didn't pay much attention to the alleged victim's crotch and torso, Adam Jr. asks whether Jamison has seen a "Waymon Brothers" movie called Little Man. "They took the head of Marlon Waymons and put it on a midget, and it looked real, didn't it?" Adam Jr. exclaims, emphasizing the last two words for maximum "gotcha" effect. Jamison looks at him like he's a lunatic or, at least, an astoundingly bad film critic. "Not reeeally," she says, her voice lilting in disbelief as the courtroom breaks up. Congratulations to the Waymon Brothers: This is the first time Little Man has generated laughter.

I think theres a 95 percent chance of this ending in a mistrial - the judge almost ended it yesterday over the use of the word 'investigation' one time. On the first day! Then it'll be another 6 years for any of this to be dealt with again, by then Kells will probably be dead like Lou Perlman will surely be in 6 years.

RE: R Kelly trial
Bill Wyman (not the dude from the Rolling Stones, but former Chicago rock critic and Sound Opinions host) takes the "spectacle" to task in his R Kelly SexFacts. It's a good read.

I had a ridiculous morning. A friend and I decided over the weekend to go down to the county courthouse and watch r kelly enter the building for shits and giggles. We met at 7, walked to the california bus, which is actually a really confusing bus line, stood outside the courthouse from 8 am until 10:05 when he showed up. We talked to the newsies milling about, and to some of the true kells fans who said "this is my only chance to see him in person for free" I told them I saw him in person for free in December. They saw a guy who had braids and shouted at him "YOU LOOK LIKE R KELLY'S BROTHER! HI R KELLY'S BROTHER"
Around 10, an unmarked ford expedition pulls up to the front of the building, and his entourage got out and waited around the door he was going to get out from. Then he came out, and everybody (aka 10 people) were screaming R KELLY R KELLY R KELLY. At this point life got really hazy. I had just waited two hours for my 20 seconds of spectacle viewing and I couldn't concentrate on all the amazing jokes being shouted around me. So instead I ran along the path he was taking and had Edward take photos of me. They will be posted later.
We got back on the california bus and showed everyone our photos and most people (rightfully so) looked at us like we were insane. Then we got breakfast at the flying saucer. now i'm taking a nap.

some of you got this info via text but, I was on the Damen bus, northbound, at 6:20 pm today, between Huron and North. A man, in his 70s at least, looking at a fucking copy of JUGGS or some shit, with the centerfolds totally folded out. No shame. This may be the most amazing public bus experience I've had, beating out the gold teeth lady who claimed my ex was hitting on her and that Spike Lee is pigeon toed, or the time the bum masturbated (AND I SAW HIM FINISH - I SAW "IT" COME OUT) into a trashcan at 24th and Mission my first week in SF.

Hey gang - here's an article about the WWB's favorite alleged child molester / sexual predator. Read up on him before he spends some time in the slammer.

Our basement just got a bunch of new concrete and we need to layer on some cheap carpet. Does anyone know of a good place to find carpet remnants?
As an aside, I accidentally locked one of the cats in the basement as everything was drying, so she made a hundred paw prints all over the place.
All in all the new CheZamelia is pretty awesome, although I think we may have to rename it "Casa Zamelia" or "Zamelioria" to fit in with the neighborhood.

pretty much anything rob zombie has done musically in the past 10 years has been complete bullshit. however, La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1 is a seriously great metal record. its not blazingly fast or very technical, but this record packs some amazing, groove-heavy jams. the whole aesthetic of the cheap b-horror film soundbites is also a great addition to the record, and their live show around that era was pretty amazing too.
although i think its a complete joke, i can see how white zombie (d)evolved the way it did... but to go from such a solid album into zombie's crappy brand of electro/goth/pop/rock crap kinda bums me out. zombie had a great crew of musicians (john tempesta is a shit-hot drummer, and sean yseult is the hottest fuckin' bass player ever... and not only have i stated in the past that i'd be the father of her kids... her bass playing is solid as hell.)
anyways, welcome to planet motherfucker is a perfect example of how much this band fuckin' swings. you could play this shit at a club and people would go crazy (i say). its too bad the video doesn't also contain the 2nd part of the song, psychoholic slag, cuz the best riff of the whole record is there.

graham i know you feel me on this one, but sometimes I listen to "real talk" over and over to experience the best 3 minutes and 1 second there is to experience. Its just so ...real. I get overcome with this need to express how awesome this song is. I then get reminded of how at the kells concert, when he did real talk, it was possibly the most amazing song he did in those 120 minutes.
p.s. the only news about kelly trial was only 3 supporters were there today (what? no protesters? get on the ball people!) and he wore a light grey suit with a checkered tie.

Has anybody heard of The Promoter's Ordinance? It's being voted on Wednesday, and from what I can understand, if it passes, it will affect us all -- and not in a good way.
Read More About it Here
Statement from the Chicago Independent Radio Project:
The Chicago City Council has fast-tracked its new version of a measure first introduced last year to greatly impede independent promoters attempting to hold events in the city. Under the proposed law, independent promoters would have to acquire a promoter's license at a cost of up to $2000 every two years, obtain liability insurance for every event thrown, even if the presenting venue already has liability insurance, be fingerprinted and background checked, and maintain extensive records of each event. The ordinance allegedly is intended to prevent disasters like the one that occurred in the E2 nightclub several years ago, but really would just put many small indies (not to mention non-profits that rely on events for fundraising, like CHIRP) out of business.

In my never ending question to find images of Judge Vincent Gaughan I came across a photo of the lead defense attorney for R Kelly whom I deem totally amazing! I envision the scooter chase between George Costanza and those angry oldies.
Then I found this article
Though Kelly's game is limited, an insider who has played against Kelly says the singer insists on playing point guard and "hogs the ball and shoots all the time."
"His team wins every night or he gets upset," the insider said.
On Thursday morning, Kelly, wearing a headband, shorts and a tank top, stopped the game when he saw the reporter and photographer enter the gym.
As friends, including two young women, and a Markham Park District police officer looked on, Kelly lobbed the ball at the reporter, stood with his hands on his hips and motioned for a lackey to eject the unwelcome visitors.

obituary was the first "death" metal band i ever heard. i dunno, maybe my perspective on this is kinda dumb, but you hear about certain forms of music and you aren't quite sure about what to think, then you hear it and you are like "ok... this is acceptable to me...i can get into this... this is not intimidating music"... etc etc etc. well, obituary was the first music i ever heard where i was like "holy shit what the hell is this and what the fuck are these guys doing to make noises like that... i can't understand this at all!" it was completely foreign to me and almost made me turn my back on the whole genre. however, there was enough intrigue to sit through their first record, slowly we rot, and i'm totally glad that i did. they didn't exactly resonate with me the way other bands did, but they opened the door to bands like Deicide, Testament, Morbid Angel, etc.
i couldn't find an official "video" from the slowly we rot record, but i did find this stupid montage of zombies and other scary monsters set to some Obituary. even if you hate metal, this hack-video should crack you up, or maybe scare the shit out of you.

Why are Korean people so good looking? Perhaps they owe it to their frank sexuality:
Rain's fourth album, Rain's World was released in Korea on October 14, 2006. The first single was "I'm Coming," followed by the second single "In My Bed," and finally "Inside of You."

My Daily Horoscope: Cancer
5/5/2008- If possible, throw together an impromptu gathering tonight -- or, if you've already got something planned, try to add a little spice to it at the last minute. You will love the results!
There's a BBQ at my haus tonite. More importantly, "Gossip Girl" is on. Let me know if you wanna throw something on the grill.
xoxo,
Lil' J

Today, I keep reading "cyclone" as "cylon." Watching an entire season of BSG in one day will do that to a person.
I just finished with Season Two. Tonight, I WILL conquer 2.5!

man, r kelly is making my ms paint job way too easy.
Woman will testify to threesome with R Kelly:
In the past, Kelly has faced civil lawsuits from underage girls accusing the singer of inducing them to have sex with him and a second woman. The title track of his 2007 album “Double Up” refers to a man arranging a ménage a trois. [emphasis mine]
