party shout

The authorities do not know exactly how many people have been killed warbling “My Way” in karaoke bars over the years in the Philippines, or how many fatal fights it has fueled. But the news media have recorded at least half a dozen victims in the past decade and includes them in a subcategory of crime dubbed the “My Way Killings.”... Karaoke-related killings are not limited to the Philippines. In the past two years alone, a Malaysian man was fatally stabbed for hogging the microphone at a bar and a Thai man killed eight of his neighbors in a rage after they sang John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” [nytimes]
This is actually a pretty interesting article.

This, on the other hand, is pure nonsense:

a partymode request:
if anyone here has purchased Mujik on the iTunes store, would you mind leaving a short (and preferably decent) written review in itunes? we've gotten a lot of nice reviews, but unfortunately the ones on the front page of the store right now are unreasonably bad.
thanks!

Friday music thread...

...Given what's in store for us East Coasters, I was thinking of perhaps a loose snowy/winter songs theme? Either reveling in the snow or mentally escaping it...

Jonathan Lethem on Philip K Dick. (This article was also published in "The Disappointment Artist", which is required reading for Billy, Jonbro, and Eli, if not the whole lot of you.)

steve jobs in the house!

My co-worker was in the elevator with him this morning. She actually thought it was just a doppelganger because he looked too casual in his jeans... ;)

But since we actually know that he is supposed to be in the building today getting interviewed we now know that it was actually him.

But she also said that he looked really unhealthy :( :( :(
