Stuff You Might Have Missed

Hey all. Just a few fleeting items of interest.

Did you know that Kanye West samples King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" on his new single, "Power"? Well, he does. Stranger than fiction. Also, the sleeve art's mighty weird.

In slightly-less-incongruous news, check out this cover version of "Public Image" by Pearl Jam. Vedder does a somewhat over-exaggerated Lydon impression, but it's surprisingly faithful otherwise.

This anecdote is pretty ancient, but it's been making the rounds again of late. Here, read Mark Mothersbaugh's account of smoking angel dust with Michael Jackson and Andy Warhol at Studio 54. No, really. Also, check out Devo's new video.

Details are surfacing about the forthcoming reunion album by SWANS. Presumably, Phil Puleo of Cop Shoot Cop will be back on drum detail.

Y'know, I still love "The Road Warrior," "The Year of Living Dangerously" and "Braveheart," but Mel Gibson is really becoming harder and harder to stomach.

Lastly, please enjoy the lovingly compiled montage of the 100 greatest movie insults of all time,….. you smelly pirate hooker!
