Owls Are Scary

As my sister pointed out, owls are scary and wrong and they can turn their heads too far.







I kind of like this one though.



EDIT: To quote Becky, "Baby owls, gleefully eating MEAT."



EDIT TWO: Becky continues to fuel my nightmares with the horrors of owl-kind.



The one that starts out on the far right is a horror show all of its own.







Quoth the Becky, "Owls eat animals whole and SHIT OUT THEIR BONES."

Video Time! The Strokes - Someday

Probably my favorite music video of all time. I think looking back nearly a decade later, in the wake of the death of this kind of New York cool personified by the Strokes, Interpol, et. al., it's easy to forget a) just how amazing the Strokes were, and b) what a huge shock they were to music. But that's all beside the point. I love this video. I want to be in this video.

What Is This?

Today I saw a car I don't think I'd ever seen before. Nothing special or exotic, just rare. Yes kids, the Mazda Navajo!



Essentially a rebadged Ford Explorer, the Navajo was only made from 1991-1994 and barely sold.



It was Motor Trend's Truck of the Year in 1991, but eventually became embroiled in the Firestone Tire Controversy. They can be had pretty cheap, but in a cursory search of the internets I found just one for sale. $800 is almost worth taking a flier on, but I'm holding out for a trashy El Camino.

Locker Sign Song of the Day - Tuesday, September 28

This is one of my favorite bands. A Canadian Indie Rock supergroup, if you will. I think this song is pretty good guys.

Road Trip to Nebraska?

Everyone has heard of the Cadillac Ranch, and someday I will see and graffiti it myself. What I had never heard of, however, was the Car Stonehenge. Check it out.

Locker Sign Song of the Day - Thursday, September 23

Alright guys, this song is by a band I know nothing about. It does feature whistling, so I'm automatically into it. Also, hang on to those cards with the web address on them. They may come in handy.

I...I Might Need This

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Gurgel G15, straight out of Brazil. I cannot think of a single reason I'm not cruising around Westerville in this right now.

Locker Sign Song of the Day - Tuesday, September 21

I don't know how I got roped into collaborating on locker signs, but if I'm gonna do it I'm gonna at least try to do something constructive. Dear high schoolers (and everyone else), here is some good music:
