clever web page for a Dutch department store. You need Flash and you've gotta wait a few seconds for it to start, but once it gets going...

Note that at the very end, there's no Dutch-language equivalent for "ghettoblaster."

This is triff!  Thank you!!  (Interesting to learn that the Strange Days cover was snapped close to my place.)

Perhaps not the best thread for this, but Urth and I recently got into a short conversation on Facebook about Frank Chu, the local-legend protester whom I went Halloweening as back in 2000.  Turns out Wikipedia has nicely summarized his story:

Someone went through a lot of trouble writing that. Very informative! I've had some nice convos with Frank about the 12 galaxies. Behind closed doors, of course.

He was at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.  Saw him at the main stage during Hazel Dickens' set, so I think he likes that traditional stuff.

The one place I was most surprised to see him wasn't at a public gathering, but rather getting off a 6 Parnassus bus at 9th and Judah as I was waiting to get on one evening in the last year. I was used to seeing him downtown a couple times a week, so having him show up "off duty" out in my (former) neighborhood was kind of a blow-away.

Well, it's a little funny.  But mainly, it's just swell.

Rhino's Damn Fine Day song-of-the-day postings have been consistently strong.  Today they selected Randy Newman's "Baltimore":

Gaz, thanks for that. I looked at their archives and signed up straightaway. (Their song for tomorrow is In France They Kiss On Main Street--maybe a not so sly comment on Prop 8?)
