WTF? From ABC News

Police are trying to identify a badly decomposed body found Thursday morning inside a shed at a Brooklyn pool.
Authorities say the gruesome discovery was made just before 10 a.m. at the McCarren Park Pool on Lorimer Avenue between Bayard Street and Driggs Avenue in Williamsburg.
Parks workers told police a foul odor had been coming from a shed at the pool for months. The workers reportedly found the body when they went to the shed to retrieve some equipment.
It is not known precisely how long the body had been inside the shed. The area is said to be frequented by homeless people.

Clearly, it’s because we recommended her. From NY Times.

‚”At some point, I don’t know when, she should have a show,” said Phil Griffin, hours before he was promoted on Wednesday to president of MSNBC. ‚”She’s on the short list. It’s a very short list. She’s at the top.”

They just keep getting more retarded. In case you missed it, here’s parts I and II. Thanks Kevin.

We’re glad to see Obama addressing the elephant in the room and stand up for the Muslim community. Apparently it’s news to America, but not all Muslims are terrorists. In case you missed it, here was Barry Blitt’s response yesterday.

Chicha Libre
Friday at the Prospect Park Bandshell:
BRAZILIAN GIRLS WITH CHICHA LIBRE AND TICKLAH.
Doors open at 7pm, Admission: $3
Brazilian Girls always put on a good show, but Chicha Libre sounds like a lot of fun too. You have to love a band named after corn liquor.

Chicha Libre plays a mixture of latin rhythms, surf music and psychedelic pop inspired by Peruvian music from the Amazon. The Brooklyn-based band mixes up covers of forgotten Chicha classics with French-tinged originals, re-interpretation of 70′s pop classics as well as cumbia versions of pieces by Satie and Ravel. Chicha is the name of a corn-based liquor favored by the Incas in pre-colombian days. Chicha is also the name of a South American music craze which started out in the early 70′s in the Peruvian Amazon.

With Oneida, High Places, Titus Andronicus, Ponytail, Vivian Girls, Abe Vigoda and many more. Full line-up here.
Doors: 12pm, All Ages, Admission: $10
From Flavorpill

Ever the DIY adventurer, indie-music and party promoter Todd P pops out in the middle of a fairly minimal season (he’s reportedly been focusing on “other things”) with a sensational lineup of experimental/electronica/dancy-pants bands. Headlining the performance, nu-jazz psychedelic musicians Oneida skronk alongside the power-pop Shy Child, the wildly alternative antics of Ponytail, garage punk from Titus Andronicus, and the electronic/Caribbean pop of High Places. Depending on which way the weather goes, you may find yourself drenched in a mix of sweats (not all your own), but a Todd P party of this magnitude is not to be missed.

More information at the Yard’s website. Set times at Todd P’s website.
