In case you're reading this

and thinking to yourself, "Wow, what a thoroughly awesome music blog! How can I possibly show my appreciation?", let me point out that Michael Jackson's effects are being auctioned off next week and these are excellent gift ideas (and roughly in descending order of how bad I want them):

Triumph tour hat

Apocalyptic scene with portrait of Michael Jackson in armor

Creamsicle basketball uniform

The glove (anyone else remember MC Hammer challenging MJ to a battle for the glove?)

Portrait of Michael Jackson dressed as a king

Fan-made hand-stitched embroidery

Bad tour bodysuit

Painting of Michael Jackson sitting in a theater with Walt Disney, Peter Pan, Mickey Mouse, The Three Stooges, Charlie Chaplin, Shirley Temple, and Kermit the Frog

Enhanced giclee on canvas of Brooke Shields

Moonrise

Michael Jackson wax figure

Michael Jackson electric jacket

Come on people, let's make this happen! I really need to freshen up my wardrobe and home decor. Full browsable but very buggy electronic catalog here.
