Remember the guy who told cheney to go fuck himself? Turns out to be an ER doctor (and artist and musician) whose house was destroyed by the hurricane, he got handcuffed by soldiers at gunpoint for his trouble and ebay killed his auction (for hurricane relief) of the video his friend shot of the episode.

From Le Monde a history of Deus and account of the convoluted path to the new album and a review of pocket revolution (in french).

Anyone who knows me knows that this is something I’ve been contemplating for a while, so yes now I will shut up and stop banging on it
From Factory Made a sociogram of Warhol’s factory.
