A lot of things would be cool if they weren’t so terrifying, but this one takes the fully mechanized, all terrain, ammo carting cake. With the balance of Baryshnikov and the determination of Ralph Nader, it’s the scariest thing on all fours since we heard rumor of an Ann Colture sex tape.

New Portishead video

Friday, March 21st, 2008

After a full decade hiatus, the seminal UK trip-hop pioneers Portishead is finally dropping a new album.  Called Third (because — surprise — it’s their third studio album), the record is slated to hit shelves April 14.

The first track, “Machine Gun”, is already out… 

In case you need a reminder who these guys were, here’s a great clip from their 1997 concert film at NYC’s Roseland Ballroom.

Unfortunately, their 2008 tour has no US dates so far.

Cocaine Subs

“Sophisticated submarine-like boats are the latest tool drug runners are using to bring cocaine north from Colombia

(full story via CNN)

The funny thing is, the submarine deal was probably worth more than the cocaine deal.

This is the kind of creativity that only finds an outlet on the internet marketplace. Cheers to whoever thought it up. 

Of course, if zombies actually show up, we may wish that fucker could actually fire a round or two….

Lost Boys 2

Okay, so this will probably suck — and it looks like it’s going straight to video.  

But at least the dialogue sounds just as memorably inane as last time: “who ordered the stake?”  is almost good as “death by stereo…”
