The 30th Anniversary of Punk

Time Magazine claims it’s the 30th Anniversary of Punk. I’m not sure that’s true at all, but the photos used are worth checking out for Ramones and Sex Pistols fans.

Deviant-TV

Deviant-TV posts double feature movie trailers. Any site that takes the time to track down “Flesh Gordon” is ok with me.

Kristen Ferrell

It’s been a while since I linked to an artist. Kristen Ferrell‘s work is definitely odd enough to warrant a look. Good stuff.

Modern Life – News & Views of the Modern Internet

Modern Life has some interesting bits to look at if you’re into web design. Their retro Mac OS WordPress theme is neat, although I don’t think I’d want to run it here.

The Jena Six

I’ve seen more and more newspapers printing stories about the Jena Six case, but it’s still under the radar of a lot of people. Read up if you haven’t, it’s one ridiculous case. Unfortunately, the Rev. Al Sharpton has appeared on the scene. I hope this doesn’t turn people off, these teenagers could use as much support as possible if they really are as screwed as it seems.

Jeffrey Dahmer and Adam Walsh

ABC News has an interesting article for true crime readers: “Could Jeffrey Dahmer Be to Blame for Adam Walsh’s Murder?”. An interesting theory, probably never to be proven.

Where Is The Nirvana Baby Now?

Mtv talks to some former album cover babies, including “Nevermind”, “A Boy Named Goo” and the first Violent Femmes record. Where Is The Nirvana Baby Now? needs more photos but is otherwise an ok read.
