Drummer Auctioning Off His Pacemaker

Mick Jagger talked the talk when he asked "If I could stick my pen in my heart and spill it all over the stage, would it satisfy ya?" but it strikes us as a lot more impressive when someone walks the pulmonary-invasion walk as diligently as Martin Bulloch, the drummer for doom-rock merchants Mogwai.

While we're pretty certain he didn't use a pen -- or even a pen-knife -- to retrieve it, the skinsman is auctioning off a pacemaker that was recently removed from his own ticker, with plans to donate the funds he raises to the British Heart Foundation. We're happy to report that Bulloch is recovering well from surgery to implant a more up-to-date pacemaker, and we can only hope that other rockers follow his lead -- after all, we could compile a pretty long list of folks who could peddle gently used hepatitis C test kits to help battle liver disease.
