Oh good, an indoor beach rave. “GUYS, CAN YOU HELP ME FIND MY DRUGS? IT’S IN THIS SAND SOMEWHERE.”

This is a twenty second clip of a drag queen telling thousands of straight Asian college students at the SF Pride Festival that their favorite pop star (BoA) wouldn’t be coming out for another 20-25 minutes. Not seen: Her saying something to the effect of, “bitches, you didn’t pay to watch her, so you’ll just have to wait with everyone else.” And then they went into a song about gay marriage starring a drag queen named Cockatillia. I’m fairly certain I was the only Asian guy who fucking LOLed at that very moment.

That was the highlight of my entire pride.

(For the record, BoA did really well.)

Right now, The Girl & The Robot by Röyksopp ft Robyn is my favorite song of the moment, and I’ve only now seen the video for the first time. There’s always been debate that the song is about live-to-work culture or vibrators. Nope, it’s just a song about a girl in love with a robot.

Lesson learned: EUROPEANS ARE WEIRD.

Jane Lui covers “You Are Not Alone” with an Ave Maria overlay. This is absolutely amazing.

It’s utterly embarrassing that the city would enter into an agreement with a vendor only to see the vendor turn around and turn a buck trying to sell this public data back to its citizens. This data is already PAID for, by us! Muni data, like other public data, should be publicly available and *machine readable*.

—

My friend Jeffrey McManus on Routsey, an iPhone App created by my friend Steven Peterson which has been pulled from the Apple store because a private company has stated that they own MUNI’s timetable data, even though a spokesman from MUNI themselves says that the data is open and accessible.

Ernie says: Good for Steven for fighting this good fight (disclaimer: Steven is a friend a former co-worker of mine from the Yahoo! days.) I probably wouldn’t have the energy to fight the legal portions of it; corporate life has made me a little too battle-worn for those things anymore. And think of it this way, Steven: free publicity.

P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) Unreleased Demo

massmovementsound:

yo, i just heard a DJ spinning this demo version of Michael Jackson’s “P.Y.T.” today at Tribal Cafe in P-Town..

it’s hella smooth and completely different from the original, so i had to be one of those DJ nerds and ask him what song it was.

when i got home i did some heavy internet diggin’ and after numerous dead-ends, i finally found it!  enjoy!

Rest in Peace, black Michael Jackson. (You too, creepy white Michael Jackson.)
