WHOA! Here’s an excerpt of a bizarre interview freaky YouTube user Tonetta did with Lolokaust:
Lolokaust: Every time someone new comes on the scene the music press always try and categorize and pigeonhole an artist, this wont be easy in your case so how would you describe what you do?
Tone: I don’t really know i just accept what it is
Lolokaust: Do you collaborate with anyone to make your music?
Tone: no I do it all myself
Lolokaust: Who are your musical influences and is there anyone to whom you aspire to?
Tone: the genius John Lennon
Lolokaust: There are many references to the male member in your lyrics, is this something particularly close to your heart?
Tone: I’m simply promoting it.
Lolokaust: Many of the songs are about sexual deviancy, Would you consider yourself a Sexual Deviant?
Tone: Yes I am.
Lolokaust: You have had incidents with Youtube deleting your videos/accounts, What are your thoughts on Internet Censorship?
Tone: Makes no sense

And a cartography of inner space via the inimitable Russian psychedelic blog LSDEX.RU. Presumably this is what the next iteration of iTunes visualizer will look like. If so, I might actually get around to buying an iPad, you know, just to hang on my bathroom wall.
Be Gordon Gekko for a day with Stuart Hughes’ Privé brick phone. From Engadget:
Stuart Hughes usually reserves its gold and diamonds for recent gadgets, but the fine purveyor of ridiculous excess has taken a slightly different approach with its latest offering: the $200,000+ Privé brick phone. In addition to a 22ct gold shell and a smattering of diamonds, this apparently functional phone packs a color screen and features like SMS support and, um… buttons. Limited to just ten but, amazingly, still in stock.
Thanks, Jesse Merlin!
An already lovely printed visual score by Rainer Wehinger for György Ligeti‘s early musique concret gem “Artikulation” made even lovelier via synchronization by kind Youtube user “d21d34c55”. Bonus clip below is Ligeti’s mighty choral piece Lux Aeterna used of course by Kubrick in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

It’s the Man of Steel versus the man known as “The Greatest of All Time” in this statue that features Superman taking on Muhammad Ali. Based on the Neil Adams cover art of the original 1978 tabloid version of the book All-New Collectors’ Edition: Superman vs. Muhammad Ali, this surprising scene of the two greats squaring off against one another is available in 3-D form for the first time. The release of this statue coincides with the reprinting of the story in two hardcover editions.
