My Heart (Cut View)

The mommy doll is upstairs, jerking the sheets straight. The daddy doll is at a downward angle, leaving. Finally the mommy doll leaves too. But I stay home. After all, it's my heart. However it leaks...

Weenie Juke Radio is Off The Air

July 15th, 2007 - Thanks to Sound Exchange, the RIAA and the Copyright Royalty Board of the Library of Congress, the Weenie Juke has been forced to shut down.

Were we to stay on the air, we could be forced to pay unfair performance royalty rates that equal approximately 100% of our total revenue, and which would equal more than twice that as rates increased each year until 2010. We are not against paying royalties and fully believe in supporting artists who make music, even though most of the artists we play have long been dead and gone. We also believe in paying for music and have encouraged listeners to purchase CDs from the labels that put out the country blues music we love.

We are, however, against extortionate rates determined by those who care nothing about music and musicians -- only about cash. Not cash in the hands of artists, but in the pockets of executives, corporate lawyers and shareholders...

Cordially yours,
Weenie Campbell

Two things, a movie PU-239, also called The Half Life of Timofey Berezin, and a book, Shaun Tan's The Arrival, a graphic novel.
The protagonist in both is virtually the same guy, though they're presented with diametrically opposite outcomes to their lives, one sad and final, the other hopeful and opening out to the future.
But Paddy Considine's Timofey and Tan's nameless father have wonderfully symmetrical shapes, the vibe of each of them as though it was the life of one man told in two alternate stories.
Not to mention Nikolaj Lie Kaas as a Mafiya big shot in the movie, and a fantastically true architecture in Tan's book that captures the alien hit of emigration with gorgeous sepia precision.
