My new favorite song: Nothing

Pedro The Lion: Nothing

If only the rules were
built upon philosophy that I embraced
I'd hug your neck and kiss your face,
but it's very obvious
that your ideals are not for me.
You'll tell me what to do
but you will see that I do as I please.

Cause I want to
do it my way,
and I want to fly,
I want to
do it my way,
cause I want to fly.

The problem with rules is
they alienate the criminals
when whose to say
if what they did was wrong that day.
If you'd open your mind up
you'd see that there is nothing
that's always wrong.
No matter what you say,
it's just not true that
there's only one way.

Cause I want to
do it my way,
cause I want to fly,
I want to
do it my way,
and I want to fly.

I hope we have ourselves
an understanding.
I hope we have ourselves
an understanding.
I hope we have ourselves
an understanding.

MUSINK Tattoo and Music Festival

I don't have tattoos, but I do watch tattoo TV.

One thing I admire about ink diva Kat Von D - besides her ability to look great in leather pants - is when this chick has an idea, she makes it happen.

On the last episode of her TLC reality show LA Ink (the last episode I saw, anyway), Kat was brainstorming an idea for a cool music and tattoo festival to be named "MUSINK."

Well, lookee here! The fest has come together 200 tattooers strong, to be held February 22-24 at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa.

The best ink-slingers from around the world are slated to be there, and bands Metal Skool, The Used, and Tiger Eye, and others will perform. Also tattoo contests, tattooing technique seminars, rock 'n' roll-style vendors, etc.

On a side note, I'm seeing a stark correlation between Kat's love for Sphynxes (creepy cat in photo) and her attraction to her odd-looking rocker boyfriend, Orley. Have you seen that guy??

Listen Up: My Compatriots

Songwriter and music aficionado/little bro to many of us, Jon Caro (Bloodshed, The Mood Swingers, The Belle Contract), has launched his new creative venture, My Compatriots.

Band mates include: singer-turned-record producer Scott Silletta (of PlankEye fame) on drums; Ryan McIntosh on guitar; and Bryan Mayfield on bass.

Listen and love it!
