Species Feces

Boy have we been busy. Up to all sorts of things - some fun and some no fucking fun at all.. but here on the ON'D Express, we strive to satisfy your cravings for fun and we leave the shit behind. We do, however, want to stress that there is good shit and bad shit, and we definitely support and nurture the good shit..
First off, some of us crossed over the volcano, and visited the fatherland. Now we all know that the Germans love themselves some good 'ol dirty shit, so we figured, let's do a little screening for our friends and family. We got to use the basement of a great spot Annapam and projected our little mutant picture for a small crowd in the intimate space which is something like 500 years old. I am almost certain we showed the most fucked up shit that the space has ever seen. It was tons of fun, and ON'D picked up a bunch of new fans. Guten Tag, ya'all.

We returned to Brooklyn and hit the ground running. Tosso (the master behind the soundtrack of ON'D) had a pretty fancy pants gig with his band, Grupo Irék last week - they played at the Plaza Hotel for Sting and Trudy Styler's Rainforest Alliance. It was a dinner / live auction which followed a benefit concert at Carnegie Hall with Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Lady Gaga, Debbie Harry, Shirley Bassey, Mary J Blige... I was rubbing elbows with Christopher Walken and Bette Middler. It was fucking fun.

Quite unexpectedly I got a visit from my old friend Curtis Brown and his family yesterday and we had a lovely breakfast in our garden. The visit was short and he had to hit the road and head back north after only a few hours. I gave him the gift that keeps on giving. The best game ever for road trips. The best pastime for people of all ages. A simple game that I came up with - it is something that I call "Species Feces" and the rules are quite simple. Come up with a poop that rhymes with the animal's name from whence it came. I will give you a few freebies and I hope that you will come up with many more..
Here are the obvious ones for beginners:
Cat Shat
Dog Log
Bird Turd
I got a text message at 2a.m. some months ago from the West Coast contingent with two simple words:
Lemur Steamer
And Curtis, the Harvard man, emailed me this afternoon, just a day after our visit, with a few gems:
Budgie Fudgie
Viper Diaper
Gorilla Flotilla
Now believe me, I have lots more of these, but I am going to leave some for you... So let the creative juices start flowing.

Thank You Mr. Jonze

Nostalgia

I was talking about Betty Davis which lead to watching Kim Carnes' "Betty Davis Eyes" - after which YouTube suggested I watch "I Come From the Land Down Under" by Men at Work. Both were awesome. What followed hit me hard in the middle of my nostalgia nerve. Nena's classic 99 Red Balloons holds a special place in my gut. When I started taking German in the sixth grade, I remember translating the words from the original German version into English. As I watched with Tosso, I was embarrassed to find myself crying. That is, until I looked over at Tosso and saw him filled with emotion as well. And by the way, Nena is so friggin hot in the video. Watch it!

Why I Love the Internet : Omar Souleyman

This is the most awesome shit. Amazing. I love everything about it. The sample of Centipede - or some other vintage Atari game - just takes it over the top. Try sitting still while you listen to this.

Snow Day!!!!

I live in Brooklyn, so when nature comes my way, I milk it as much as possible. I took a walk to Prospect Park where there was not only tons of sledding going on, but more snowmen per square foot than I have ever seen in my life, and some of the largest I have encountered, as well. People were building tunnels and forts. I am not sure who was having more fun, the kids or their parents. I went to my favorite secluded spot and was graced with the presence of many beautiful birds. It was a lovely day. I am now back home, nice and cozy, and getting ready for some hot noodle soup! Life is good.
