Ahh, that IS Emperor Norton. You know you’ve been living in San Francisco for awhile if you can pick this dude out of a lineup.
FELA: KING OF THE INVISIBLE ART
by Jay Babcock
Fela Anikulapo Kuti: 77 albums, 27 wives, over 200 court appearances. Harassed, beaten, tortured, jailed. Twice-born father of Afrobeat. Spiritualist. Pan-Africanist. Commune King. Composer, saxophonist, keyboardist, dancer. Would-be candidate for the Nigerian presidency. There will never be another like him. This is the sensational story of Fela, the greatest pop musician of the 20th century, featuring the words of Fela’s friends, fans and the Ebami Eda himself.

Yes! I love the SHIT outta some Fela.
Clever Idea of the Day: Kevin @ The Imaginary Zebra came up with a nifty idea to help reduce road rage: Install “Sorry” and “Thank You” light boxes in his car that can be switched on as necessary (e.g., when unintentionally cutting someone off, when someone lets him cut in front of them, etc.)
If you ask me, this feature should come standard.
Plenty of process shots here.

Download Liz Phair's pre-'Exile in Guyville' demo tapes →
They’re free. (via)
UPDATE: The headline has been corrected so as to no longer suggest that Liz Phair recorded demos for the Rolling Stones’ legendary Exile on Main St. Thank you/sad face to Nerdshares for pointing this out to me.
Pitchfork: Jack White Releases Carl Sagan Auto-Tune Record →
…the singer/guitarist/label magnate is apparently fed up with Weezer’s stranglehold on WTF music news, so he’s releasing a 7” of “A Glorious Dawn” on his own Third Man Records November 9. “A Glorious Dawn” is a recentYouTube hit mixed by composer John Boswell featuring spaced-out eggheads Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking talking about the great beyond beneath a layer of AutoTune.
WTF is right. Has anyone autotuned a fart yet? Can we get that up on youtube, stat?
Just watched a large part of Crystal Voyager last night and it blew my friggin’ mind. The amazing closing sequence is just basically long, super slo-mo gorgeous 35mm shots of waves and sunlight set to the insanely good 23-minute epic Pink Floyd song “Echos”.
It’s so hard to explain a film like this, and I couldn’t find a clip on the YouTubes, but if you have the means, I highly recommend getting into it.
Note to Self: Watch This.
To promote the 20th anniversary of Say Anything, an army of Doblers took to the streets to blast “In Your Eyes” from the stereo.
It’dve been cooler if they were ZOMBIE Doblers.

Steven Wiltshire, an autistic Englishman, draws an aerial view of Rome from memory after one 45 minute helicopter trip.
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.
