The hiatus is back off: "the album explodes, front-loaded with eye-rolling puns, throwback vocab, messages about peace and humanity and an overall sound that reveres hip-hop’s golden era". More Beastie goodness, here, here, and (awesome beat boxing sushi and edamame promo) here.
Giant Gabonian rats detect landmines in exchange for bananas.
Berlin Pet Store entirely for budding ant keepers. You know ants are the chic pet du jour.
Supposedly Andy Kaufman has returned, 20 years after "faking" his death, and he has a blog. There's been one mainstream news article confirming that it really is Kaufman. The blog has borrowed pictures of Bob Zmuda appearing as the odious Tony Clifton at the Bunny Ranch. I remain entirely unconvinced, the blog is strikingly unfunny, and faintly offensive to Andy's memory in its inability to re-create his dadaist genius. If you want to make up your own mind I recommend "I'm from Hollywood". It is ostensibly a documentary of Andy's attempt to become World Trans-Gender Wrestling Champion in the run up to his tragic death. Elsewhere on the web, in what might have been my first ever contribution to the internut, I wrote that the movie "deconstruct(s) the wrestling myth as a paradigm of the American dream". Brilliant. (Update: Snopes has really comprehensively trashed the blog as a transparent pathetic attempt to cash in on the Kaufman myth)
