the cream Tablet's Monthly Guide to What We Love

arrowRock  NOT DON HENLEY —"Shit, God Damned, I’m a man!" The Eagles Of Death Metal are bringing boot stompin’ glam rock to town. Fans of T Rex and fans of watching ladies in tight jeans wiggling it should not miss this set! They’re shaking in Seattle at Chop Suey on October 13th and then in Portland at Dante’s on the 14th.

arrowActivate VOTE PUNK —From Rock The Vote (rockthe-vote.com) and Punk Voter (punkvoter.com) to P. Diddy’s Citizen Change (citizen-change.com), if you’re not registered to vote yet, do so. This is a critical moment in history where every vote counts. So vote!

arrowRead  X MARKS THE SPOT —There's a new literary rag in Seattle that isn’t boring. "Letter X" has a great Kozik cover and some quick toilet reading. It’s free around Seattle and oh so pretty.

arrowSee  ROCKING THE TRUTH —Our faithful readers in New York City and Los Angeles have been sending us emails with sightings of the awesome reworking of those ubiquitous iPod posters. Instead of silhouette kids rocking to tunes on their iPods, these posters depict a sadder state of affairs. If you want to see them for yourself along with other anti-war posters and download copies, go to bloodforoil.org.

arrowHear ROCKIN' CAUSE —Bands Against Bush is a national organization gathering bands to crusade against the current administration. With chapters in DC and NY, the group puts on rock shows where punters can register to vote and listen to rocking bands. The Seattle chapter just started and the organizers are looking for bands and people to get involved. Sign up now and fight the power. Visit bandsagainstbush.org/seattle.

arrowWear  LICKING BUSH —There is absolutely some serious hatred for Bush out there and what better way to tell other voters how you feel about the current Administration than to wear a t-shirt with "I Liked Bush When He Was a Smackhead?" Bant-shirts.com have some of the best anti-Bush tees around like, my favorites, "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" and "Instant Asshole… Just Add Oil." Dis the dummy this voting season while being stylish. Bant-shirts.com.

arrowSurf  CRACKING GOOD TIMES —Instead of sending your friend a virtual greeting card, next time log on to virtualcrack.com and you can send your best pals a vial of crack or crack para-phernalia. In addition, you can also pick up "crack" from the website if someone sends some to you. The website asks, "What better way to make someone’s day than the wonderful
gesture of crack?" Bad taste, good fun.
