RIP Adam “MCA” Yauch. Don’t touch the mic baby, don’t come near it!
Adam “MCA” Yauch, 48 years old, has died of cancer. Fuck cancer.
If you’re my age, you grew up on the Beastie Boys. In memory of MCA, I’m breaking my silence to post the complete “Paul’s Boutique”, their best album.
It’s a sad day for hardcore, punk rock, and hip-hop.

Well, the peppers are pickled, the records and books and games are put away, and the stereo’s been stored too. I’ve got a few bikes to move down to the basement (although I might just sell the little Raleigh that Sam’s outgrown). After that, I’m headed out to use the flipcam that woodshop [...]

So all over the fucking facebook, all sorts of people are posting these bullshit, self-satisfied “leave the porch light on for Caylee”, in memory of this 2-year old little kid whose mother Casey Anthony, everyone seems to suspect, has gotten away with murdering her. One person went the length of making a choo-choo train [...]

One of my favorite Dr. Who companions, Sarah Jane Smith, as played by Elisabeth Sladen, has died.
When I first started watching this crazy, obsession-inducing show, Sarah Jane Smith was a constant. She was one of my favorite companions from the classic series, perhaps my favorite. Her re-appearance in the new series was great too.
So [...]
Pomade Review: Royal Crown
My usual pomade for big pomped up hair is Murray’s Superior.
It’s super-stiff, and almost hurts when I comb it through my hair. Murray’s is so strong that when I apply it on Sunday, I can wash my hair Monday morning and still have enough leftover for a respectable pompadour.
This weekend while shopping for a [...]
Delco Nightingale at the World Cafe Live: Thursday 10/14
Earlier this year, a friend clued me into band called Delco Nightingale which was in need of a bass player. I got in touch with them, but given that I was already busy with The Super Devils, it kind of petered out. But we remained friends, and we’re all linked up on the [...]

The Marriage Ref Isn’t Funny. Here’s What Would Be.
I’m watching “The Marriage Ref” right now. It’s not worth linking, because this show is a flop, but here’s the gist: a lame host (aka the ref) whose name i don’t have the energy to recall presents the marital problems of a real life couple (who of course play it up) to a panel of [...]

On Valentine’s Day, one of my favorite cartoons, the family guy aired an episode in which one of the main characters woos and dates a girl with Down Syndrome (you can watch it at the link, but warning: NSFW).
If you’ve watched the show, you know that calling Family Guy’s humor “caustic” is like calling John [...]
Shorter John Mayer
In an article larded with douchebaggery, we get this gem:
PLAYBOY: You were addicted to Jessica Simpson?
MAYER: Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm
Shorter John Mayer: after having sex with jessica simpson, my junk felt like someone dropped napalm on it.
Even shorter John Mayer: Jessica Simpson gave me the [...]
