from the comments:
I believe this car was intentionally set on fire.
Judging from the license plate number, this car was from out of town. Lansing (LC), I would guess.
“Hinkley Had a Vision” by The Crucifucks [via]
a not very interesting story about the crucifucks - doc dart (singer) still lives by my hometown pretty close to where one of my ex boyfriends from high school lived and i basically had to drive by his house everytime i went to see my boyfriend. He (the ex) had some bizarre story about going over to his house and being introduced to his pet rabbit.
Doc continues to be a mainstay of alternative culture in Lansing, Michigan, regularly showing up in local papers. Doc for a long time ran a baseball card store in a small collection of shops on Michigan Avenue near Sparrow Hospital. Currently residing in Okemos, Michigan, he created a stir with alleged anti-American sentiment following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Signs attached to the front of his home read, in part, “U.S. Troops terrorize as cowards from the skies. They should be in body bags”.
oh and you would not believe how stressed out people were about this! Okemos takes that shit serously!
anyway, this is one of my favorite crucifucks songs.
considering going home in april for this, at ryan’s suggestion. Idk I feel like I am sucked into being 20 again whenever I am in lansing.
Also there is tons of stuff happening in grand rapids over the next several months that I wish I could go to. It kind of sucks that going to grand rapids/chicago/lake michigan in general has become less of a reasonable thing to do for just one night.
I could multi-task though and make it a date for friend panopticon tattoos, though.

“A River Runs Through It” by the Matadors of Shame
So lets sit down with some cards and a tall glass of whiskey and shit-talk ‘til the morning comes and everybody’s sick of me
this band is so good, and makes me remember that there is a lot of shit i miss about East Lansing/Lansing when it is easier to be angry and dismissive about it.

“Forget May 10th” by the Matadors of Shame
Going home was surprisingly OK. A lot more listening to MoS occured. Its so fucking good that nothing else feels worthwhile.

“If You Stay, We Die” by the Matadors of Shame
consider everything previously said about this band repeated
Early morning listening while catching up on all the data entry that piled up while I was sick last week. Kind of making me homesick for Lansing and making me kind of look forward to going home next week.

ADF Fuckers Suing Bash Back! Lansing, Bash Back!, and Jesse Does
The work of devoted Bash Back!ers and allies determined that this morning’s hysteria is the result of the Alliance Defense Fund, a notorious anti-womyn, anti-queer, racist organization. The ADF decided to sue Bash Back!, Bash Back! Lansing and individuals because the authorities would not file a single criminal complaint regarding an action at the Mount Hope Church in Lansing last fall. But that’s not all! Those pesky evange-fascists are trying to identify and out up to 20 other people involved with Bash Back! in the hopes that criminal charges will be placed against them.

I'm an 23 year old woman in grad school studying Medical Anthropology. I'm from Lansing, MI & currently live in Cleveland, OH. This is just a collection of things I think are neat.
