The Birthday Party "Drunk On The Pope's Blood-16 minutes of Sheer Hell!!!!!" + "It's Still Living"
2009 brought the deaths of many truly unique characters and influential geniuses I grew up surrounded by. Jim Carroll, Roland S. Howard and the mythical Ron Asheton...just to name a few.
Having only met Roland a couple times, he is yet another great we lost this year who I despise growing old without. enclosed in this post is some of his extraordinary live work with The Birthday Party. Delivering their sonic murder in all of it's live glory. Needless to say, his work with These Immortal Souls, Crime + the City Solution, and Lydia Lunch with "Shotgun Wedding" as well as "Honeymoon In Red". were absolutely crippling as well. To try and give a full description of his entire discography would never be complete, as he brought more than can be explained in words through his music.
Here's to tonight and havin' a drink to bring in the New Year and celebrate their lives.
Only to be drunk on the pope's blood.

Jim Carroll "I Write Your Name"
Jim made 3 albums between 1980 and 83, not to mention his prolific poetry, prose and diaries. "I Write Your Name" was the last of the 3 they recorded as a band. As a character Jim was far more complex and unique, his Christopher Walken-esque presence always lit up the room with stories of the immaculate life, the streets and the beautiful disgrace. He is yet another one we lost this year that I will sorely miss.

Ron Asheton's New Order "Victim Of Circumstance"
For me, Ron Asheton was one of the most important guitar players of all time if not the most important.
In The Stooges short time, he managed to change the world with his guitar and soul power. After the Stooges split in '74, Asheton teamed up with another group of misfits in Detroit. His new fix being the New Order. Enclosed here is their last album "Victim of Circumstance" from 1989. Consists of 8 unreleased rehearsal recordings, and 4 bonus tracks.

Friday Funny for Computer Nerds
Image Source: http://expo.eurogamer.net
Well another New Year is ringing in around the world. And where would we be in this modern world without computer nerds. Well we wouldn't be texting NYE messages on iphones for one thing, or even reading this web page.
So this Friday Funny is one for the nerds, whose number I definitely claim myself to be part of.
Let's start off with one of the funniest guys to have ever made a music video: Weird Al Yankovic.
(Be sure to check out his other videos sometime, they are hillarious).
Here are a couple of Nerd jokes from the net:
Two computer programmers are driving on a Highway. They switch on the radio and there is a warning: Please note that a car is driving on highway 75 against the traffic.
The programmer near the driver looks at him and says: One? There are hundreds of them!

17> Too difficult to "mark" every website they visit.
16> Can't help attacking the screen when they hear "You've > Got Mail."
15> Fire hydrant icon simply frustrating.
14> Involuntary tail wagging is dead giveaway they're browsing www.pethouse.com instead of working.
13> Keep bruising noses trying to catch that MPEG frisbee.
12> Not at all fooled by Chuckwagon Screen Saver.
11> Still trying to come up with an "emoticon" that signifies tail-wagging.
10> Oh, but they WILL... with the introduction of the Microsoft Opposable Thumb.
9> Three words: Carpal Paw Syndrome
8> 'Cause dogs ain't NERDS! Now, cats, on the other hand...
7> Barking in next cube keeps activates YOUR voice recognition software.
6> SmellU-SmellMe still in beta test.
5> SIT and STAY were hard enough, GREP and AWK are out of the question!
4> Saliva-coated mouse gets mighty difficult to manouever.
3> Annoyed by lack of newsgroup: alt.pictures.master's.leg.
2> Natural Nose to Tail methods are more direct and less deceiving than online chat rooms.

Big Passy's NYE Party
Here are some world exclusive photos from my NYE Party last night.
Some of my best friends had to drive a long way to get there:

Once all the guests arrived, we got stuck into some very serious binge drinking:

Then things really amped up, and us guys blissfully danced the decade away:

Finally, the following might be a great New Year's resolution for Nerds:
How To Get A Life
It's never easy to overcome innate nerdity, a serious Internet addiction, or a hard-core computer gaming habit, but trying usually isn't as painful as kidney stones. Here's how:
- Let go of the mouse.
- Turn off the computer.
- Play a game of solitaire with a real deck of cards.
- Eat something other than taco chips and coke.
- Break wind without recording it and putting it up onto the internet.
- Get some sleep in bed rather than on your keyboard.
- Next time you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, don't tell everyone on your ICQ list about it.
- Open a window without turning your computer back on (yes, it is possible). Very gradually expose your eyes to increasingly bright light so as to avoid damage or permanent sun blindness.
- When you feel prepared for a massive dose of non-CRT radiation, put on welding goggles and go outside.
- If you see someone, say "Hi" to them instead of trying to make the modem connect sound.
- Visit a friend that you haven't spoken to in years because they don't have an email address.
- Have ".com" officially removed from behind your name.
- Go on a date with someone you didn't meet online.

Lindsay Lohan Dismisses Dating Rumours
The Mean Girls star, who split from her DJ girlfriend Samantha Ronson earlier this year (09), has fought off a string of dating rumours in recent weeks after she was linked to Jason Segel, Entourage star Kevin Connolly, and Gerard Butler.
I'm not dating my friend, people are nutso (sic), and it's not a way to start off the new year with rumours.
She was most recently rumoured to be involved with model Adam Senn, but Lohan is adamant she's still single.
In a post on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "I’m not dating my friend, people are nutso (sic), and it's not a way to start off the new year with rumours."
Robert Plant's Womanly Celebration
The 61-year-old rocker - who has famously lived a life of sex, drugs and rock n roll excess - admitted he will be looking for love over the holiday season.
He said: "Where would I like to welcome in the New Year? In some warm, tantalising arms."
Although he is looking forward to celebrating New Year's Eve, the former Led Zeppelin singer isn't looking forward to the next decade because all it holds for him is "more attention to bladder control".
Where would I like to welcome in the New Year? In some warm, tantalising arms
He added: "I don't think I've aged gracefully. When you can feel the breeze of the Grim Reaper, there's nothing graceful about that fear, because I'm only a third of the way through the adventures I want to have."
However, the star has made some New Year's Resolutions - to improve his driving.
He explained: "I park my car by touch, using the wheels as a guide to when I've hit the kerb."

Roland S. Howard Dies
Roland S. Howard (former Birthday Party guitarist) died wednesday after battling with liver cancer.
First known as the guitarist in Melbourne, Australia's Boys Next Door, the band later transformed it's sound and then renamed to the Birthday Party. One of rocks most incendiary and violent bands to ever grace the stage since the Stooges.
After the Birthday Party broke up in '83, Roland went on to Crime + The City Solution and These Immortal Souls. He also worked with numerous other artists including Lydia Lunch.
Roland's visionary guitar playing will be sorely missed, but the reverberation of every note he played will live on through his music + the music of a million other bands that he influenced.

Rihanna asked to dress conservatively for New Year bash
"Rihanna is tearing her hair out over what to do. She wanted to put on her most eccentric and provocative show here. A huge part of her show is her sexy stage gear.
"But the dress code in Abu Dhabi does not encourage excessively revealing outfits," contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying.
Now Rihanna, 21, and her team are busy devising a new show complete with modest outfits which don't show off too much of her body and won't offend audiences in conservative Abu Dhabi.

Lindsay Lohan has a new boyfriend
God, do we have to do this after time? “Lindsay is definitely starting to turn to him when things get bad.” Because they’ve been dating for what? A week? And Adam Senn has already become a bit player in Lindsay’s drama. Yeah, I bet he lasts.
By the way, Dina Lohan wants everyone to know that after Lindsay’s whirlwind trip to India - in which she took credit for saving the lives of 40 children and was called out for her lies - Lindsay is now “a changed woman.” Dina told Page Six that Lindsay was “humbled and moved” by the trip and that “Lindsay definitely wants to give more back. We are now planning a trip to help the children of Guatemala — which will be filmed by Oprah’s network.” For f-ck’s sake. Not Central America! That’s where the drugs come from!
Just hours after the hearing - it was reported that Dina is demanding $40,000 in child support, while Michael claimed Sunday that it’s only $15,000 - spies say Lindsay showed up at her sister Ali’s 16th birthday party at Abe & Arthur’s with Senn, whom we reported she was dating on Dec. 10.
And while her, err, doting parents can’t agree on much, they both seem to think that Adam is a winner.
“Dina really likes him,” the source says. “She thinks he is ‘good for her.’”
Michael wasn’t on the guest list for Ali’s fete, but he too seemed pleased with Adam when asked about Linds’ new man Sunday.
“If he’s a good guy and he has no addictions, and he’s a good influence on her, then God bless him. It’s a good thing,” he told us.
And although Michael says he would have liked to meet the former “City” star at the party, he admits he’s not shocked he wasn’t invited. “I’m not surprised I wasn’t welcome at Ali’s dinner,” he says. “In light of what’s going on between Dina and I, and being so public with the things I’ve said in regards to Lindsay’s well-being, I can understand how Lindsay and the kids would be upset and not want me there.”
Indeed, Lindsay has publicly dismissed her dead-beat-dad, but an insider claims that his absence is still hard on the troubled starlet.
“Everything that’s gone on between Lindsay and her dad has really taken a toll on her,” the source confides, adding that “Adam is the one really positive thing going on in her life.”
The snitch also claims that Senn and Lohan were texting and calling each other over the holiday weekend - and are certainly acting more serious than “just friends,” which LiLo has claimed via her Twitter page.
