“A short sequence of shots from last weekend’s Woofstock festival in Toronto. An event called Dock Dogs was set up where dogs run the length of a dock and jump into a 40ft pool of water. This Border Collie, Oban, changed his mind about jumping at the last minute but, to his obvious surprise, momentum would not be denied! (via MUTE - Photoblog)” Thanks SB!

Alright, I’m off to Santa Cruz, have a good weekend!

Witnessing 200 people burst into song at the lyric ‘St Joseph’s Baby Aspirin’, our van driver leans across and tells me, “I’ve never seen someone control a crowd like that before.” Our van driver, by the way, has just been on tour with Anthrax. But this grasp of mass hypnosis isn’t something that Darnielle finds overwhelming. To him, it’s just a natural case of cause and effect. “I’m a huge music fan,” he says, “and when I go to a show I get really into it, so when I see someone moving their lips to my words, it’s a kick – in another audience with another artist, that person is me, right?

brooklynvegan: Devo toothbrushes?! Devo tonight! We are Devo. win again “We are always looking for newer, cooler ways to deliver our music to our fans,” said Mark Mothersbaugh, lead singer of 80’s rock group DEVO. “Teaming up with Tiger Electronics to record a new version of ‘Whip It’ for TOOTHTUNES was a blast. Not only do our fans get to experience one of our most popular songs in a wildly innovative format but it will also introduce our music to a new, younger group of listeners.”
