Dull Drums

It's good to see The Vatican (yes, THAT Vatican) likes to keep its finger on the pulse of youth culture by releasing a list of Pope-approved pop music albums. Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Pink Floyd (post-Syd Barrett) and even Oasis?! Sadly, The Blog didn't see any Plastic Ono Band or Echo and the Bunnymen. When will papists learn? Thankfully, Bob Dylan didn't make the list! Speaking of rock and/or roll, check out this maniac's mobile bike-centric drum kit! Sure the snare sounds like a tupperware container and the crash cymbal resembles a plinky wind chime and the drummer's beat is bordering on a Sunny Murray-esque free jazz solo, but it IS a drum kit and it IS mobile and it IS kinda cycling related. Click on the picture for some vimeo junk....

Speaking of free-jazz solos, J Town brought in his cruiser bike rescued from the city dump today. The Blog has a warm spot for green frames and this abomination, uh, I mean gift from heaven, is no exception. No idea why Chris Maret (receiving eunuch) was standing next to it, but he is a most unsavory character whose penchant for cruisers is well known amongst the warehouse populace. He was rubbing his hands together menacingly and his eyes were darting back and forth, as if he was plotting. Most unsavory!

Penneys...... from HEAVEN!
Look at the crown! Heavy duty....
Chrissy sizes up the front end to see if it will handle his bar spins...
