Japan, you magnificent bastards - My head just exploded. - Boing Boing:
"Sugary sweet J-pop goes death metal"
But... but... Miley Cyrus! [History is instructive.] - Incredibly dirty R&B: gloriously filthy music from the 50s - Boing Boing:
"Glenn sez, "R&B music was pretty bawdy before its entered the era of white appropriation and radio play. Leah Reich, an ethnographer by training and a music lover and singer by love, takes a stroll through some of the filthiest, wonderful era before all this stuff was cleaned up. Tons of links to Youtube videos and other sources." Best of all, the filth didn’t come just from men. There was wonderful Julia Lee, with “My Man Stands Out,” “I Didn’t Like It the First Time,” and “Don’t Come Too Soon.” The inimitable Helen Humes has a live version of “I’m Gonna Let Him Ride” that’s as glorious for her singing as it is for the way the crowd roars her train on."
TSA, still useless. - TSA agents demand bag-search to look for "Bitcoins" - Boing Boing:
"...he was stopped by two men who identified themselves as "managers" for the TSA, who claimed they had seen Bitcoins in his baggage and wanted to be sure he wasn't transporting more than $10,000 worth. When he asked them what they thought a Bitcoin looked like, they allegedly said that it looked like a coin or a medallion."
