Cocksucker blues

Music Wonkery

Salon is running a fascinating interview with Walter Yetnikoff, grade-A bastard and architect of CBS/Sony records in the 1970s-1990s.

Best known for being, what’s the phrase, a colossal prick, Yetnikoff in his retirement is heavily involved in addiction-treatment programs (both himself and as a volunteer and donor), social services, and various charities in and around New York City. He’s still a prick, an opinionated jerk with an opinion on every question you didn’t bother to ask, but somehow, fascinatingly, he’s at peace with himself as well.

Go read! Amazing stuff about him, the music industry, and why Paul Simon is a waste of space.

Why so glum, Billy?

Lead Pipe Cruelty

As much as I appreciate the effort that the creator of worlds has put into his epic photoshopped picture series, the medium just leaves me cold.  Just like Opera, really.  I recognize the talent and artistry, but in the end it’s just fat people singing in languages I don’t understand.

But this one panel really worked for me.  Connected, you know, on a deep and personal level.  As Allah might say, it makes a kufr feel funny in the pants:

Allah Pundit Rulez

[wik] As an added bonus, I’m unilaterally adding the Creator of Worlds to the blogroll.  You got a problem with that, Jew?
