Reunification, woohoo! About a week ago Germany celebrated the 20th anniversary of this wall thing, with Bon Jovi and Domino Stones. But it just made my mind wander back to this epoch-old question: Why the fuck are East Germans really into undressing all the time? (And hey, since we’re mentioning nudity here, that’s a cue that if you still believe in Santa Claus you shouldn’t read any further.)

EXTEMPORANEOUSLY SPEAKING WITH ANNA JANE GROSSMANThursday, November 12, 2009Anna Jane Grossman is a newspaper journalist lady who’s written a couple books. Her latest, Obsolete: An Encyclopedia of Once-Common Things Passing Us By, pretty much explains itself in the title. It’s funny and charming and smart and Anna Jane is cute, all of which tally up to lots of guys having a crush on her. She says she considers herself “someone who’s more on the literary and language appreciation side of things,” but she also is the same person who sent me a text message last night reading, “Sorry sbway took forever to come. Be ther in 2 min.” She is a woman of contradictions! No wonder she likes debates. |
1994 - MUCKING ABOUT WITH THE MEANIESWednesday, November 11, 2009For the past five years The Meanies have been slaughtering audiences on a regular basis with their crazy live shows. If you’re not familiar, they are: the dreadlocked Link Meanie on vocals, Tas Meanie on guitar, Wally Meanie on bass (that’s him with the goatee in the photo up there standing next to Eddy Vedder) and Ringo Meanie on drums. Their new album 10% Weird encapsulates everything great and positive about Australian punk music right now. |

PLEASANT FIRESIDE CHAT OF THE DEADFriday, October 30, 2009
These are the things I remember about my second year of university: not doing well in school, feigning interest in my pot delivery guy’s upcoming shows, and renting every zombie DVD within a five mile radius of my apartment. There was a solid month or so when I scrutinized every building I saw for how zombie-proof it was. So when I found out I could get a cool 15 minutes with the genre-inventing George Romero, not only did my second year suddenly become purposeful, I had earned a crucial connection to the man whose house is probably the most zombie apocalypse-proof building in the world. |

STAN BUSH IS AN INCREDIBLY EASYGOING MANFriday, October 9, 2009
I love stupid action movies– the stupider, the better. I love needlessly ripped millionaires slurring their way through lines written for children by hacks. I love weapon-arming montages and questions answered with explosions and painfully tacked-on love side plots and guns that always slide just out of reach. But most of all, I love the songs in these movies–particularly the uplifting hard rock jams that play during the credits or montages of the really cheesy movies. Thus, it follows that I love Stan Bush, and worship him as my king. |
