Couple of links before I run

Recommended story: Toba Tek Singh.
Two or three years after Partition, the governments of India and Pakistan decided that just as there had been a cordial exchange of prisoners, there should now also be a similar exchange of lunatics.

Unrecommended article: 10 Things Schools Don't Teach Well. This is the entire curriculum in today's public schools. I don't know what these people are talking about.

Recommended band: Juke Baritone. Tom Waits-esque cabaret music. It's a great deal of fun.

Another recommendation: revolution_grrl linked to a comic called Axe Cop, written by 5-year-old Malachai and illustrated by his 29-year-old brother.

Haha, I love the Axe Cop concept. The best part is when the guy turns into a dinosaur.

This is a lot like Gogol Bordello. Meh.

"Follow the rules" makes sense only when the rules make sense. To tell the truth, I always did myself a lot more good by doing what made sense and pretty much ignored the rules. Most of the time the rules are made by people who don't want to do the hard part - i.e., think.

Juke seems to sport a stronger Squirrel Nut Zippers vibe.

For Waitsian carnival instrumentals crossed with Nintendo music, I recommend One Ring Zero's CD Memorandum (samples).

Oh, they sound pretty awesome.
