I'm with you guys, this is a BAD idea. The capacitors in disposable cameras are dangerous. This will not be like scuffing across the carpet and zapping someone. The voltage contained in these is no joke. If you zap the wrong person, they could die. I'm not joking. Very irresponsible article.
I'm all for garbage as art, I collect metal and car parts to make art. This is just GARBAGE.

There is a difference between simple or minimalist art and someone spreading peanut butter on a floor. Some of my favorite works of art are simple. This is beyond simple. It is a spill in an aisle that someone took credit for.
I like some abstract art, I even make abstract art. This is not art. Any jerk can spread peanut butter.This is pretentious garbage. They should have scraped it up and told the "artist" to get lost the first time someone stepped in it. Better yet, not allowed the moron who thought up this installation any access to the museum. It is time to stop giving people like this a voice. Go get a job, and leave art to real, talented artists.
Every now and then I run into someone who tries to tell me that true happiness is reached by giving up your possesions. Thats great if you live in a shed in the woods and eat roots and berries, but everyday people need stuff. Probably less stuff than they currently own, but stuff is still needed. Mechanics need tools, a lot of them.If you don't own plates and flat ware eating and cooking becomes a pain in the ass, and eating out all the time is expensive. Painters need brushes and paint and canvass. Maybe some rich cock can get away with eating out and borrowing things from people all the time, but normal people can't get away with that. This guy can kiss my ass.
I had a similar experience to what Exxos had. My brother taught me to play chess, and I played a lot for a while. But he was such a cock when he won, and would get pissed and pout if I won. It wasn't even fun, it was like the game was designed to make people unhappy. I haven't played since I was like ten or eleven, and I don't plan on ever playing again. I do not see this working out quite as they would like it to.
I kinda enjoyed the blog for the same reasons you stopped reading it. Is it hard to read reviews by someone who is not a music fan? Oh, yes it is. But I still am fascinated by her perspective. I feel the same way about albums as you do; They are a part of me now, an important aspect of my history and my emotional and mental development. It blows my mind that someone can have such a passive relationship with music as Liz has.
And Murmur was made for times when you are single, stoned, lost, searching for answers in an ever changing and confusing world.
Even still, I won't be picking any of these little guys up anytime soon. You don't hear about people getting rabies from bats, but you still should not mess with them.
A guy in my town used to ride around on his motorcycle with his dog. He did it for years until the cops told him to stop. I still know the guy, he's kinda weird, but harmless.
I once got a fortune which said "Birds are entangled by your feet, and men by their tongues." ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

So many of lifes problems can be solved with a chisel and a BFH.
