RIP BROOKLYN YARD + PEOPLE

RIP Brooklyn Yard. ZinBin is extremely troubled to hear that famed independent venue Brooklyn Yard got the boot from their landlord this week. The double edged sword of throwing gigantic, successful events has struck again. Say it ain't so, MeanRed! You can read the full story (here). Thanks for everything. People have also died

RIP Rue McClanahan. So that's what, all of them but Betty White? Luckily the Golden Girls will live forever on DVD, or at least until a solar flare kills all life on Earth and melts everything that's plastic. Close enough

RIP Louise Bourgeois. Thanks for the nightmares

RIP Richard Dunn. That's too bad

RIP Tobias Wong. People who love smoking and wearing mittens owe this man alot.

RIP RIP RIP

RIP Gary Coleman

RIP Dennis Hopper, one of the best film bad guys ever

RIP Allie-Oddie Woodson

RIP ROUNDUP

RIP Ronnie James Dio. It's like rock music just lost an index finger and a pinkie


RIP Lynn Redgrave

RIP Lena Horne. You were probably too pretty to exist anyway

RIP Frank Frazetta (not pictured)

RIP MALCOLM MCLAREN

Malcolm McLaren may not have invented punk, but he sure did invent selling it. Say what you will, but his influence can't be denied. My cultural studies papers from college wouldn't have been nearly as interesting without him. Thanks for all the A's

RIP COREY HAIM

Well that's just too bad

BONUS

RIP(S)

RIP Zelda Rubinstein: you filled my childhood with terror, Teen Witch with wisdom, and every moment you were on film with something special.

RIP Howard Zinn: we're still not very good at learning the kind of things you tried to teach us.

RIP J.D. Salinger: thanks for all the ubiquitous rebellion n stuff.

RIP JAY REATARD

Sure, he hadn't been making new friends lately, but he was a hell of a songwriter. His antics will be missed.

RIP LUANNE PLATTER

as a side note, Brittany Murphy is also dead

RIP CAPTAIN LOU ALBANO

RIP CAPTAIN LOU ALBANO. WHEN I THINK OF MARIO, I THINK OF YOU.

RIP PATRICK SWAYZE

A long time coming, but still too soon.

RIP JOHN HUGHES

An undeniable loss to pop culture. Dear famous humans, please stop dying. At least hold off until November.

RIP

This is the saddest double RIP I hope I ever have to do.

RIP Michael Jackson

RIP Farrah Fawcett

RIP ED MCMAHON

RIP DAVID CARRADINE

David Carradine 1936 - 2009

RIP DOM DELUISE

1933-2009

To a man who represented all that was good in food, laughter, and riding around in a car with Burt Reynolds.

ROLL CREDITS

EARTH FOR THE EARTHLINGS

This post is dedicated to the interplanetary disco of SPACE




(I can't imagine how, but skip to 3:00 if you get bored)

Wonderful, no? Their music and videos have such a simple concept, but play out so well. I even got you an MP3. You know who loves you
Space - Magic Fly

Wow, what a weekend! I'm glad I didn't let the terrible weather stop me. I think you will agree, however, this is very sad:

RIP
