Sites Force People To Join Facebook To Comment

As a designer, I’ve noticed a growing trend on sites’ discussion systems that force users to join Facebook to be able to leave a comment on articles and posts.  I realize this isn’t news since it was introduced months ago but I find this not only scary but a little like putting all your comment eggs in one threaded basket.

Lead Singer of The Music Machine, Sean Bonniwell Dead at 71

Their garage-rock single Talk Talk was a Top 20 hit for the band.  I think more bands need to start wearing capes, medallions and turtlenecks again.  The lead singer Sean Bonniwell died on December 20th of lung cancer.  Check out this awesome video of the band’s hit:

Andrew Ahrendt feat Monica Lauer Bukkake Button NSFW

I found this disturbing video in my inbox today from Detroit filmmaker Colin Duerr for Andrew Ahrendt’s song Bukkake Button featuring Monica Lauer.

Be forewarned, while there’s no nudity, it’s pretty much NSFW & there’s blood coming (ahem) out of inappropriate places.  Also featured is musician/smut peddler John Davies (Superbitch Magazine, Beaver Shoot) and Suicide Girl Annisa.  Check out more of Colin’s vids here.

I met Diego Lana in a bathroom in London while on a rock ‘n’ roll history bus tour of the city.  He didn’t know much English, but it was far superior to my Spanish.  I guess most people that play music can spot other musicians because he could tell that I play, and vice versa.  I couldn’t understand much of what he said in English but he handed me a promo copy of his band’s CD, Ultramandaco – Fin.  After coming home  and finally taking a listen to album, I’ve got to say, it’s pretty awesome.  The sounds mix Latin American traditional pop with tinges of Sloan, Queens of the Stone Age, and Elvis Costello.  And the production is pretty damn great.  Their webpage doesn’t really have much more info, or even if they’re playing, touring, etc.  But it’s nice to get your hands on rare album like this.
