Awesome Town is Awesome.
Sunday, 7 February 2010 by Bunk Strutts
Nobody lives in Awesome Town. There is no plumbing, no electricity and no air conditioning. There is no city council, no Police Department, no Fire Department, no Post Office. There is a jail where no one will be incarcerated. There is no telephone service and no weekly trash pickup.
Awesome Town has no industry, no farming, and no business.
There are no stores or restaurants in Awesome Town, but there is a 5-story hotel. Nobody has ever checked in to the hotel and no one ever will. There are no gas stations because there are no cars, and children are not allowed in Awesome Town.
There are no newspapers in Awesome Town because there is no one to read them. There are no medical facilities or pharmacies either, and there is no hospital. There is no internet service or broadcast radio or television.
Awesome Town is located on San Clemente Island, California. It is a Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) Training Complex.

Saturday Matinee – Some Donnas, La Bamba & Joe’s Garage
Saturday, 6 February 2010 by Bunk Strutts
Woof. Yeah, that’s 10cc doing it’s best Zappadoowop attempt with “Donna.” A few days ago, “Brian” reminded me that 10cc sang what I mis-remembered as “I Wanna Be A Bus.” (See this post.)
Here are The Donnas doing their best Ramones impersonation with a puzzling and cheap video.
From The Donnas, we thought we’d find a video of Ritchie Valens singing “Donna,” but no dice. Jump search to “La Bamba” and there’s just garbage and clips of Lou Diamond Phillips limp sinking. So here’s the greatly underrated Los Lobos‘ version of the Mexican traditional song.
Since we started off with a brief reference to Zappa, here’s a double header from a 1980 concert in France. The segue line is perfect.
Be back here tomorrow for some cool stuff.

More Breaking News: Ask AXE COP!
Wednesday, 3 February 2010 by Bunk Strutts
Good God! The Nicolle Brothers have a goldmine with AXE COP, and Episode 6 is up. Ethan Nicolle reports that since 25 January they’ve been getting 30-45 THOUSAND hits a day, and now they’ve got a splinter thread called “Ask AXE COP.” [Don't squint, click the image.]
Due to the massive volume of traffic, their site is being revamped to handle the load.

Babe Magnet Sharky
Wednesday, 3 February 2010 by Bunk Strutts
Well lookee here. We haven’t posted a Babe Magnet in a while, but this excellent Sharkmobile hit the radar screen door with a resounding splat heard ’round the cul-de-sac. That it’s bleached and beached and unblocked on redneck ramps makes this mako all the more dangerous. Pure efficient genius. THIS is a mean machine.
Sharkmobile is a True Babe Magnet. There are only three things that could make it better:
1. A synchronized hydraulic system to allow it to leap and thrash through the asphaltic concrete surf of the metropoli of Northern California;
2. A bass-heavy sound system broadcasting The Obvious Theme Song;
3. Leggy bimbos with silicone implants in short shorts, oozing around the awesome parts (of the vehicle).
The drawback is that the owner has a ponytail and is possibly nicknamed “Skye,” but that only affects the babe magnetage factor by -1 in this case. The creator of this Flathead 6 Isurus Paucus has a coolaborator and a website here.
[Found here. The story behind Telstar Logistics is pretty cool, too. Our Archive of Babe Magnets are here.]
