This town just keeps growing!

Check it out, everybody. James Downing, the guy responsible for the amazing Population: 1000 drawings (which you can revisit here and here) is back with a new installment, appropriately titled Population: 1000 More. I've only been able to skim it, but it looks to feature more cute and quirky characters, which I can never get enough of. It also happens to star yours truly, in at number 1634 (top right corner). BG5000 sure is sporting a nice tie. I'll update this post later with some of my favorites.

He's the greatest DJ

Friday night, Whistle Pop Pedro (one of the newest members of our notorious bike gang) and I went to Sonotheque and saw one of the best DJs I've seen in a long time. He was spinning kinds of great tunes. The DJ was none other than Dr. Tobias Fϋnke, that's right, David fucking Cross. He was doing a DJ gig with the guys from Death From Above 1979 for some benefit and seriously, he was awesome. The other guys weren't bad, either. Dr. Fϋnke even played "Barracuda", which just blew me away. Whistle Pop got his autograph and a hug from him, which made her night. They slipped a little towards the end, playing more rock stuff and not enough jams, but that really wasn't that big of a deal. The only bad part about the evening was that the whole place was full of hipster idiots who wouldn't dance. Whistle Pop and I were the only ones dancing. How you can not dance to "Barracuda" is beyond me. Anyway, it was a good time and I kind of wish he DJed more often. Maybe if that whole comedy/acting thing doesn't work out.
