Ironic that MCR cover "All I Want For Christmas Is You" 'cause all I don't want for XMas are their new action figures.

Don't be fooled by imitations. This official mask is fabricated directly from Marilyn Manson's actual face casting!

Only $24.95 at monstermakers.com.
Just like that Self song! Self - "KiDdies" (via Selfies).
Here's 8th grader Brian Hugh Warner at Heritage Christian School in 1983.

I don't know why I ended up writing about Marilyn Manson today. I intended to review last night's Tilly & The Wall/Now It's Overhead/Rilo Kiley show (photos). The kid puking against the wall during "Portions For Foxes" distracted me from staring at Jenny Lewis; otherwise, the show was lots of fun. Sorry Laura for making you miss Tilly's set. We'll get you to some other tapdance show real soon!
UPDATE: A few cool Self covers...
Self - "ABC" (Jackson Five)
Self - "Fat Man And Dancing Girl" (Suzanne Vega)
Self - "Stratford On Guy" (Liz Phair)
Self - "Sour Times" (Portishead)
Of course the greatest Self cover and possibly my favorite cover ever is the band's version of "What A Fool Believes" performed exclusively on toy instruments. I don't have it to share at the moment. Check out the album Gismodgery.
Wow ... this post was all over the place. Sorry, it's Friday.

Via Whatevs ... place your bids on Super Bowl Halftime Dolls!
Indulge your fantasy of playing with Janet's nipples! Or make a tasteful addition to your display of Justin Timberlake marionettes.

Or if Justin's not your thing, try the Theodore Roosevelt 12" figurine. What, you didn't know Theodore Roosevelt is hott now?
