Someone Great

This isn’t the something with actual weight mentioned earlier. This is just something.
Summer, oh how she is here. Memorial day weekend + girl out of town + work able to carry on with me just checking me email every few hours = three days with nothing to do outside of play video games, [...]

Well, Then: Part Two

Girl went out and got a couple of copies of this week’s Entertainment Weekly, and I can now happily say that their Must List consists of “Ten Things We Love This Week”, and that Bible Fight is number four. This puts us ahead of Rufus Wainwright, Vh1’s Charm School, and Pan’s Labyrinth. Sure, [...]

Well, Then

Odd moment of the day, probably of the week:  L writes to mention Bible Fight is in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly as part of something called a “Must List”.  I haven’t read an issue of EW in ages, so I can only assume it’s a good thing and a not list of things [...]

Bad Trails

The new Battles record is fucking me right up. I’d never heard Battles before a few hours ago, never heard of them before this weekend, but Reed described them as very interesting, very complex, and very cool, and, y’know, that’s the sort of thing you wanna look in to. And here they are, [...]

Starcraft 2

It’s a nice little tour through the beautiful and weird, the too dumb to live and the too ahead of their time to catch [...]

Here Comes the Summer

Today’s post titles comes from the Undertones. We love the Undertones, right? Short and sharp ballistic pop hitting such heady subject matter as candy, girls, and being teenagers in love with candy and girls. A band with no greater rock aspirations than seeing your daughter naked, the Undertones are the ever-so-perfect and [...]

Fisticuffs Abounding

Reed reports this morning about seeing three commercials for Bible Fight over the course of thirty minutes on Adult Swim last night at 7A. And then Dwayne the bartender got in a fight.
Remember kids, that’s Bible Fight with a capital B, capital F. Ask for it by name!

The Dangers of Open Windows

Is there an experience more uniquely New York than going to the bathroom at one in the morning and hearing people in the next building over having sex? Is there somewhere else other than Manhattan where this not only happens, but happens a lot? If I had to guess, I’d say this is [...]
