(Dropping) Weird Science There is so much going on in music and art that no one gets exposed to, and I want to give people an easy link to this amazing underworld. This blog is not just a little off the beaten path; I can't even see the path from here, and I like it that way. Please join me and my friends as we put a brand new flavor in your ear and drop some weird science. PS - I also reserve the right to litter this blog with my own photography and insane, self-indulgent rants.

Art in Oakland: Rats Anyone? "Rat 136" Opens 4/6 in Oakland at Zerofriends
Well, there aren't many times I wish I lived in the Bay Area - to be honest I have a weird unreasonable aversion to it. However, there is great art and some great music that comes out of this scene, and despite making my skin crawl, I wish I was in Oakland this weekend to see "Rat 136" a solo show by Matt Richie at Zerofriends Gallery, where Alex Pardee normally displays his work. This show will feature a gallery (ha) of hand-painted rats, each framed in a hand-made rat-shaped picturebox. Via the preview, my favorites are the Gangstarat, the Toast Rats, and the Rat wit a Cat jumping through its word bubble. Pics below if you can't go, but if you're in the bay area, I suggest you check it out. Apparently the first 100 people there get a free cat print? Sounds adorable!
