Fashion site SHOWstudio.com has a special treat for one lucky Lady Gaga fan who isn't so cash-strapped in the current economy: a urinal, signed by Mother Monster herself, that's going for about $460,000 . Says the site, "Laying on its side and rendered impotent, this twenty-first century ready-made - appropriately titled Armitage Shanks - shows all the imaginable traces of her physical presence." Wallets out yet, Little Monsters? This must-have treasure, made of Vitreous China, was used in photographer Nick Knight's gender-bending Vogue Hommes Japan shoot [...]
It's time to listen to a bunch of the tracks I have not posted recently. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix. These are just a few of the songs that would get their own individual posts here on GIMME TINNITUS if I only had the time. You can stream all the songs in this mix using the Yahoo media player at the bottom of the page OR if you are browsing with Chrome you can play (and scrobble ) the whole page using the ex.fm extension OR you [...]
In case you forgot, No Age are keen punk/underground fans/historians. The Los Angeles duo covered the Urinals " Male Masturbation " for the aptly titled Beat LA , a compilation featuring current L.A. groups like Best Coast, Crystal Antlers, etc., taking on songs from bands of the city's past. In that vein, last week old Bob Mould pals Dean and Randy also recently performed with members of Black Flag: Original vocalist Keith Morris (currently of OFF!) and founding member/bassist Chuck Dukowski joined the guys on stage at MacArthur Park and ran through "Wasted," "Nervous Breakdown," "Fix Me," [...]
In honor of White Fence's awesome space-y vibe to be displayed at their show tonight , we asked people to send us their most spectacular UFO YouTubes. What we got will change human history forever, mostly by listing some people for a show tonight where maybe they'll fall in love? Or convince a troubled young genius to stay in school? Anyway - thanks to everyone who entered and you can still get tickets for the show with White Fence, Cold Showers, the Urinals and Night Control at 9 pm tonight at Blue Star, 2200 E. 15th St., downtown, here!

Luckily, io9 has done some checking and it turns out you can pee in the pool without getting caught . Service journalism at its finest. This probably comes as little comfort to the kid in Portland that pissed in the city's water reservoir , forcing the city to flush 7.8 million gallons of drinking water at a cost of $33,000. I confess, the thought of urinating in the uncovered Mt. Tabor water containers has crossed my mind a number of times while walking in the park. Tweet
Josh, Max, and Thomas of Sleepies sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series. q: What is the last song you (really) heard? j: I've been listening to "Oh!" by Sleater-Kinney on repeat for a few weeks now. We went on a Northwest tour back in January and I've kind of just stayed there. m: "Poor Unfortunate Souls" by Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid. t: Beck [...]
I'll be the gentlemen and introduce these two first. These Australian lads previously known as Hyperion are now called The Loops of Fury . They've been creeping their way onto the Beatport charts in the last couple of months and are just about to furiously explode. Imagine a punked out Wolfgang Gartner but then you'd be thinking Skrillex. So take a step back and add the tech house percussion of Harvard Bass and you're on the right track. Now imagine a blog where you'll download at least one tune every single day of the week, and that would be [...]
Last Wednesday at the El Rey, Yo La Tengo delivered a fantastic set. Part of their Spin the Wheel Tour, Yo La Tengo started their set by bringing out a miniature game-show prize wheel, with categories like "Songs that Begin with S," "Sound of Silence" (a soundtrack to a documentary they did), "Condo Fucks" (the [...]
I've tried reading this from ContactMusic a dozen times , and still can't understand how anyone thinks it is a sequitur: The Gossip frontwoman admitted while she has grown up in many ways over the past few years, she hasn't become any more respectable. She said: "I got drunk and simultaneously puked and pissed my own pants recently. "If anything I have more opinions now because I'm not a kid anymore and I know what I'm talking about. I just think about things [...]
Tweet Being in a band is a lot like being married. Anyone who has been in an even remotely serious band can attest to this being the gospel truth. Much like a marriage, sustaining a band over twenty-something years occasionally requires switching things up to keep the relationship interesting. Some people try introducing another partner into the mix. Others try role playing as a orchestral prog outfit or a sexy cowgirl who's been naughty. People have even gone as far as writing the score to an embarrassingly awful Broadway musical about Spiderman [...]
Whee, punk rock! In true punk tradition, the initial lyrics are unintelligible, but the Urinals play their instruments fast and hard. The crowd merely stares. Can't you hear these infectious beats? Dance, people! The Urinals' songs are polished, and played with a precise focus that is uncommon in the genre. They sound a bit like the Vaselines, with a tongue-in-cheek sneer and a youthful exuberance despite a 30+ year career. Unfortunately, this performance is plagued by equipment difficulties. An amp blows out, and they are graciously loaned a new one by Yo [...]

There are two remarkable things about the Sunday Mirror's photos of Antony Costa pissing over a cash machine . The first is that he appears to be using a cash machine at all, which makes you wonder where he's getting money - had he picked up a couple of shifts over Christmas as some sort of elf at grotto? Secondly: he's drawing out cash, pissing over his own feet and yakking on a mobile phone, all at once. Which really does show those of us who believed him barely capable of doing one [...]
