Edu-Core

The Physical Plant Himself: A few years ago, my friend Dan Infecto, a blacksmith in Seattle (now in Austin) introduced me to Bloodhag, possibly the world's only Edu-Core band. They had just completed a tour of public libraries all over the West Coast, where they played death metal songs about major science fiction authors to audiences of small children, asking impossible literary trivia questions in between songs and throwing books at the children when they got the answer wrong. They're some of the only humans I respect. Here's an interview with them by a bunch of pussies from NPR.

They're Manipulating You

Physical Plant Himself: Wake up call: Domestic cats have more than 100 different meows? Maybe some crazy bitch on the upper East or West Side would find that cute. Maybe she would think it validates her downright bizarre fucking behavior at home. I think it's disturbing. A few years ago a Cornell psychology student compared human responses to domestic cats and their wild African ancestor species and found that domestic cats possessed a whole vocabulary specifically designed to
manipulate us. I keep telling the Professor to throw those cute little black fuckers out the window or take them for a leash-less walk in some distant municipal park, but obviously he can't hear me because my fucking species hasn't learned to meow. Yet another way in which I've been dicked over by God. I hate cats.
