As some of you know I spend a few hours a day designing tombstones and catalogs full of tombstones… Today while working on our new catalog I was editing a photo and noticed the scariest monument I have ever seen in the background.
Cropped for your pleasure:
It looks like some kind of evil Nazi propaganda statue for a fascist army of giant birds!
Keep in mind that our monuments are made in China and as such, this statue is in a warehouse somewhere in the Chinese mainland… someone call Lou Dobbs, I think the Reds might finally be ready for world domination!
And we thought the bird flu was the scariest avian threat coming from Asia.
For years I’ve been hearing people warn that Death Cab for Cutie’s music poses a serious risk to anyone that hears it. It seems like Homeland Security finally agrees. Earlier this week, a hard drive containing the master tracks for Death Cab guitarist Chris Walla’s solo album was confiscated at the Canadian border, and for once it wasn’t those damn Mounties.
Walla acknowledges that the songs on his forthcoming album are politically-charged, but there’s no word on whether this is why Homeland Security is holding the hard drive indefinitely. There’s also no word on how long before Walla will get it back or at least receive notification that it was detonated by a bomb squad. Basically there’s no word on a lot of things.
Walla has unmastered tracks still on tape, and will use these to complete his album for a January release.
