Crapscrapers "Don't Waste Money"

Extreme noise merchants the Crapscrapers formed out of Berlin in the early 80's and released their gism in a short couple of hours recording their first and only single "Don't Waste Money". This being their only release, aside from being on some compilation and a reissue that came out in 2006 entitled "Abschreckung".

I decided to burn this for you @320 this morning...with a hangover. Perfect for morning mass. Because we have to praise these fast-core jumpstarters.

Filthy, noisy, elitist, extreme-core for the bastard children.

Hayden Panettiere is a Hamburg Hottie

Hayden Panettiere hits the red carpet with her boyfriend, Ukranian boxer Wladimir Klitschko, at the Best of Musical Gala 2010 at the Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany on Saturday (January 30).

The 20-year-old Heroes actress, who is 5′1″, posed for photos with her 33-year-old beau, who is 6′6″!

Hayden chatted with Us Weekly at the premiere of Temple Grandin earlier this week and shared that she felt “tired of being a blonde.”

“It’s fun to change things up,” Hayden added, “and I feel I don’t have to overcompensate as much personality-wise when I have red hair as I do with blonde hair.”

Sometime Sex is fun and everyone should experiment with porn

Mariah Carey recently proved that she could be a prankster too—the crooner left hubby Nick Cannon stunned when she called his radio show and acted like a porn-crazy woman.

The singer introduced herself as Debbie from Long Island during the prank phone call to the New York show Rollin With Nick Cannon on 92.3 NOW FM.

Then she declared that she was a fan of adult films and went on to list their benefits.

"Me and my husband have a very good time when we watch porn and I don''t think it''s bad. I think if it was bad it wouldn''t exist! And I think that everyone should experiment with porn!” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"I mean Nick, come on, you know you look at porn! Tonight when me and my husband look at porn, I already know it''s gonna be a humdinger!" she added.

Cannon soon caught on and quickly announced, "Ladies and gentleman, this is how hilarious my wife is. This is Mariah Carey calling the station talking about porn!"

Carey joked, "I don''t even know what you''re talking about! All I''m saying is stop talking bad about porn!"

Cranbourne Rodeo Photos

Every Cowboy in town wants to get a look at this blog post!

Big Passy took a big break from computing and headed off to see his first ever Rodeo yesterday. It was awesome, the excitement of the Cowboys in competition was jaw dropping. I am definitely going to do the Rodeo thing again sometime soon.

The new Panasonic ZS3 Lumix camera worked a treat, and the sports action mode was superb at capturing all of the action. Night time mode for the post rodeo carnival was also quite reasonable.

The following Wondershare Slideshow contains 27 photos taken at the Cranbourne Rodeo. When you get through the whole show, the last picture should be of a little kid Cowboy. If you missed any pictures then click on the arrow when the slideshow ends.

Note that we can click on the bottom of the slideshow on the "Manual Play" option at any time. We can then advance through the photos one by one at our own pace. This allows us to stop for longer on the photos that we really like, and quickly bypass the ones that we are not interested in.

Patti Smith "Smith On Smith"

Thought I would post this to show you how much we really care."***!;;\\\****

Went to see Patti Smith perform Thursday night at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. The ceremony entitled "Smith on Smith" was Patti commemorating the life of Harry Everett Smith. A counter-culture icon/filmaker/artist.

She performed acoustic, as well as telling tales of Ginsberg, Maplethorpe, Hendrix, Sam Shepard, Grace Slick and of course Harry Smith from her new book "Just Kids". Unfortunately I only got about 3/4 of the show and it's not the best quality. But here's to Patti Smith, the female American artist.

Be sure to pick up Patti's new book "Just Kids" and check out Harry Smith's work.

Nick Cannon Says Having A Baby With Wife Mariah Carey Is His Top Priority

Mariah Carey’s husband shares their plans for a baby in his latest interview, saying it is his top priority. Read more of what Nick Cannon had to say below.


Nick Cannon, 29, and Mariah Carey, 40, are ready for a baby! “We absolutely plan to have a family,” Nick Cannon told MTV News recently.

The couple has been married for two years but their professional lives keep them very busy.

“But we gotta prioritize, because that’s a major, major priority,” says Cannon, who is currently the host of “America’s Got Talent”.

“That’s like the only priority in life, when you think about it, is starting and raising a family,” he added. “We wanna make sure everything is out of the way and that we don’t have any distractions.”

But the pregnancy plans are on hold while Mariah is touring with her latest album “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.”

“She’s on tour right now, I’m doing a bunch of stuff, so eventually we want to be able to say, ‘It’s time to have a kid,’ and set everything up,” Cannon said.

“But we’re definitely moving toward [having children]. We got our house in L.A., and we got a house [in New York], established and close to schools,” he went on. “So we take all of that stuff into consideration.”

Woman Stabs Boyfriend When He Changed Channel During “American Idol

Crazy bitch Cynthia Ware of Florida has been charged with attempted murder for stabbing her boyfriend with a 10-inch butcher knife and pouring hot chocolate on him after he changed the channel from “American Idol”.

Funny Mathematics Friday

Okay, mathematics is usually something that will drive most people into a sense of humor failure. But for today's lesson let's try to apply some integer multiplication to reverse that outcome.

Perhaps the fun factor destroyer in Mathematics is the perpetual bouts of the "New Math". The "New Math" is always so complicated (thank goodness for calculators on mobile phones!).



And let's not forget all the fun of learning Algebra:

But how about we spare a thought for the plight of those poor individuals that have to teach Math. This is wonderfully demonstrated in the following scene from the "Black Adder" series:



I guess things have just always been this way:

It is not only the teachers struggling to teach. There are also fundamental flaws in the students' learning as demonstrated in this video:




We need to better understand the students' learning difficulties, so let us look at some more of their flawed answers:



Maybe we can blame this all on today's students using too many computers:

Taylor Swift rides high into Grammy night

Taylor Swift has been playing in the major leagues only a short time, yet her trophy case would make even the New York Yankees jealous.

Think that's an exaggeration? Consider that 20-year-old Swift has received 78 major award nominations and won 48 times since breaking through in 2006. This includes winning six American Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards and five Country Music Television Awards. Back in November, Swift, then just 19, took home five Country Music Association Awards — including the genre's most prestigious prize, entertainer of the year.

Now, she stands to add to that total — in a big way — with nominations in eight categories Sunday night at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards. Swift (who previously had but one Grammy nomination to her name) has the second most nominations of the night, trailing only Beyonce's 10, and they include three of the biggest fields — record, song and album of the year.

Not that awards shows are the only forum for Swift's success. Her two CDs, "Taylor Swift" and 2008's "Fearless," have sold millions of copies and she's scored more Top 40 singles than any other female artist this millennium. She's also quickly proven to be a legitimate draw at the gate, as her ongoing "Fearless Tour" — set to touch down April 11 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose — has been drawing capacity crowds across the country.

"It's a meteoric rise not unlike what we've seen in recent years with the likes of the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus," remarks Rob Evans, editor of TicketMaster's music news Web site, LiveDaily.com. "What's interesting about Swift, though, is that it's easy to picture her playing concert halls for years and years."

Indeed, Swift seems unlike anything else we've seen in pop music history. There have been acts — especially those that appeal to a younger demographic — that rise from seemingly nowhere to dominate the charts (and often fade equally as fast). There have also been musicians who have won big at award shows or earned rave reviews from critics. Yet, it's hard to name anyone other than Swift who has so quickly managed to accomplish both.

Swift was first embraced by country crowds that cheered on her debut single, the 2006 ode to hunky cowboy "Tim McGraw." Her music then began to spread via the Internet — rare for a country artist — and was eagerly gobbled up by non-country listeners. In particular, she connected with Hannah Montana fans, young teens and early twentysomethings, who had no problem identifying with the personal lyrics and stories in her mostly puppy-love songs.

"I think Taylor's advantage is that she is a singer-songwriter," says Nate Deaton, general manager of the Bay Area country music station KRTY 95.3 FM. "A lot of people try to relate to that 13- to 25-year-old audience. Well, it's pretty darn hard to relate to that audience unless you are one of them.

"Swift wrote her songs from that perspective, and I think that's what appeals to the audience. It's believable because it doesn't come from a 35-year old."

With that crucial younger demographic and a solid country following at her feet, Swift then went on to conquer the rest of the world. Her songs quickly crossed over from country radio to garner much airplay on other formats, and soon millions of pop fans were singing Swift's praises. Critics, traditionally skeptical of anything so overwhelmingly endorsed by the general public, also fell under Swift's spell.

Geoffrey Himes, the noted writer who has organized the Nashville Scene publication's annual Country Music Critics Poll since its inception in 2000, was joyous in recounting what it was like to see Swift in concert.

"I caught the first show of her summer tour at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland, and I was astounded all over again by her improbable combination of good writing, good singing, good looks and strong presence," he wrote in the essay accompanying the most recent critic's poll. "Maybe she's had some vocal problems on award shows, but on that night in June she sounded like the best thing to happen to American pop music in a long time as she delivered one of the truest songs about adolescence ('Fifteen') I've ever heard."

Regardless whether Swift wins big at Sunday's Grammy Awards, her biggest challenge will be in trying to sustain her popularity as she — and her fans — graduate to adulthood. That's no easy task for a young act — just ask Hanson, Debbie Gibson or Tiffany— but it's one that Swift seems well prepared to handle.

"Though she's still very young, she's already a veteran performer, and she's already a songwriter," Evans says. "To develop a deep fan base, it's important to put the work in, and she's put the work in. Her publicity machine has been amazing, but her music seems more personal and less disposable than that of many of today's other young stars."

Alicia Keys Secretly Engaged To Swizz Beatz!

Singer Alicia Keys reportedly received an engagement ring from her producer boyfriend Swizz Beatz for her birthday. Read more on their secret engagement below.

Friends of Keys say that Swiss Beatz, 31, proposed to Alicia with a 7-carat engagement ring on her 29th birthday. Swizz is currently divorcing his wife Mashonda.

Keys’ rep has denied the singer is engaged, but her friend reveals, “They are currently in Hawaii celebrating the engagement and her birthday. She feels blessed.”

Her friend adds: “She is thrilled. She is with the man who has inspired so much of her music and her new album [The Element of Freedom].”

It seems Swizz is also crazy about Keys.

“What we have is so precious,” he stated to the New York Daily News.

WEIRDOS "Message From The Underworld"

Amongst the first incarnation of L.A. punks were the WEIRDOS. Formed in '77, they were at first reluctant to accept the label of "punK" stating "We're not punks, we're weirdos from Hollywood!"

This is their live gig from the Whiskey recorded on October 16, 1977.

I bought this record the only time I've ever seen it, in the middle of Las Vegas at this run down record store on Debauchery Lane. Livin' like Caligua, this album was my soundtrack for many endless nights doin' the worm.

Kanye West & Amber Rose Piss Off PETA

Kanye West and his model girlfriend Amber Rose wore floor length lynx coats while in Paris for fashion week. Read what PETA had to say about Kanye being “pathetic” below.

Kanye has been quite capable of showing us all what a douche he is but now he has angered PETA too.

PETA VP Dan Matthews had some harsh words for rapper Kanye West and his girlfriend Amber Rose. “Kanye can’t help making himself look like an idiot, whether at an awards show or a fashion show,” he said. “He and his girlfriend look like pathetic creatures from a shabby roadside zoo.”

PETA was quite angry at Kanye’s choice of outerwear during the Men’s Fashion Week in Paris, when West and Rose sported full-length lynx fur coats.

Rocker Pink had said of Kanye and his fur wardrobe, “There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he’s up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur.”

President Obama Uses Teleprompter To Speak To Sixth Grade Class… WTF?

President Barack Obama is facing criticism yet again after using a podium and teleprompter to address a sixth grade classroom in Virginia. Read more on this story and see video of his speech below.

President Obama spoke to the media after talking to sixth grade students at Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Virginia.

Obama didn’t speak to the children from the podium but why did he need a teleprompter to talk to the media?

Obama’s use of the teleprompter comes at a time when Obama’s approval rating is way down. According to the Zogby pollin the Washington Times, only 43% of Americans would re-elect Obama, which is 10% lower than his rating was just a year ago.

The presidents negative poll results comes on the heels of the Republican’s big victory of Scott Brown winning Kennedy’s seat in the Massachusetts senate race last week.

“Diddy” Sean Combs Gives Son Justin “Sweet Sixteen” Party & $360,000 Car!

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ son Justin turned 16 this past weekend and his father threw him a huge party in New York, all filmed for MTV’s “My Super Sweet Sixteen” show. Read more on this story below.

Diddy threw his son Justin an extravagant birthday party in New York, giving his son a $360,000 Maybach as well as a $10,000 check that Justin donated to Haiti victims.

Eyewitnesses at the M2 Ultralounge party said Diddy almost got into it with his publicist when trying to discuss business with Diddy.

“Diddy was yelling about how it was his son’s birthday and not a night to talk about work,” a partygoer said. “He really ripped into him, but the guy totally deserved it. He was out of line.”

Diddy’s son Justin sat above the packed crowd on a throne while the MTV cameras rolled.

Many celebrities performed at Justin’s party including Fabolous, Juelz, Santana, Heavy D, Jada Kiss, Trey Songz and the birthday song sung by Diddy and Lil Kim,
Other guests included Teyana Taylor, Diggy Simmons, DJ Clue and Quincy Brown (son of Kim Porter).



Justin received a brand-new silver Maybach and a uniformed driver to escort him around New York City because he is just learning to drive.

Wall Wisher Integer Mathematics

Temperature values are just one example of positive and negative numbers that are often called "Integers".

In a week or so, Big Passy will be teaching some 8th graders all about Integers, and so it was time to build another WallWisher website. Here is an iframe window into this brand new "Integers8" web site:



If you would like to see the above wall full size, then click the link below:

If you would like to know how to build your own Wall of links to items that all follow a particular theme, then check out our previous blog post on this here:

http://passyworldofict.blogspot.com/2009/06/wallwisher-online-notice-board.html

Integers are important when we examine opposing forces. A classic example is rally car driving where the turning force of the car needs to be negated by the grip of the tires:

This traction balance is often a very delicate mathematical equation to replicate in computer games.


Here is a very "Hill Billy" Introduction to Integers, that is a bit left of center:




Here are some SlideShare presentations that we found on the web about Integers:

Our Neighbors Suck "Isolation"

One of the more obscure Rock-O-Rama Records releases, as well as being one of the few American bands on the label.
Hailing from Phoenix, AZ, band members also drifted in and out of other classic Arizonian bands. Not the best record, but not the worst. Has a distinctly west coast, Nard-core snotty feel. Band probably best known for their track on "We Got Party" (Mystic Records).
We ripped this at 320 for ya, for only the best in audiophile fidelity.

What Does Chris Brown Have A Gay Brother?

My friends over at mediatakeout.com and shutupbimbo.com is reporting that Chris Brown has a 1/2 brother that is out of the closet and proud of it. I’m not sure of this is Chris’s younger or older brother but they look to be about the same age.

Pittsburgh Teen Beaten By Police Who Mistook Soda Bottle For A Gun

PITTSBURGH — The photos taken by Jordan Miles' mother show his face covered with raw, red bruises, his cheek and lip swollen, his right eye swollen shut. A bald spot mars the long black dreadlocks where the 18-year-old violist says police tore them from his head.

Now, 10 days after plainclothes officers stopped him on a street and arrested him after a struggle that they say revealed a soda bottle under his coat, not the gun they suspected, his right eye is still slightly swollen and bloodshot. His head is shaved. The three white officers who arrested him have been reassigned. And his mother says she is considering a lawsuit.

"I feel that my son was racially profiled," Terez Miles said. "It's a rough neighborhood; it was after dark. ... They assumed he was up to no good because he's black. My son, he knows nothing about the streets at all. He's had a very sheltered life, he's very quiet, he doesn't know police officers sit in cars and stalk people like that."

A judge continued the case until Feb. 18 after the officers failed to appear at a hearing Thursday, Miles' attorney, Kerrington Lewis, said.

A judge continued the case until Feb. 18 after the officers failed to appear at a hearing Thursday, Miles' attorney, Kerrington Lewis, said.

The police department is saying little as it investigates and isn't releasing the officers' names. Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said that the city is investigating whether the officers' actions were justified and that if they weren't, "they will be held accountable for those actions."

"The incident was very troubling to me, and we're taking it very seriously," Ravenstahl told reporters. "It seems as if there was a tremendous amount of force used."

Miles' family describes him as a studious teenager who plays the viola for a jazz band and the orchestra at Pittsburgh's prestigious Creative and Performing Arts High School.

The confrontation began around 11 p.m. Jan. 12, when the teenager walked out of his mother's home and headed to his grandmother's, where he spends most nights. His mother complimented him on the new jacket he had gotten for his birthday.
