 BORN TO LOSE
How to Ruin Your Child

 DEAR DIARY
Entry: November 1998
November 1998
Dear Diary,
I have a billion trillion thoughts running through my head right now. About my new tattoo and my parents' reaction (disrespect?). BJ and I got so high together, and all he talked about was hockey, the "crew," Lawn...READ MORE |
 WHERE ARE THE MISTAKERS?
Tracking Down the Mistakers of 2000
I knew these kids in New York back in 2000 who called themselves The Mistakers. They were kind of an art gang. Harmony Korine, Little Ricky who did T-shirts, Thuy and Miho from preppy clothes label United Bamboo. They all had these devil's-fork tattoos on thei...READ MORE |

How America Promotes Gang Rape
"The Jews own everything. Those Shylocks have pilfered everything we have and we want it back-NOW!"

 UNLIMITED DECISIONS
God Save EMI

XANAX
"The first time I took a Xanax was to get some sleep after about an eight ball of cocaine. It worked. I slept for 13 hours and didn't even know I missed a terrible hangover. It was like cheating death. Then I was stressed out about being late...READ MORE |

 TECH‘N'ROLL
T. Raumschmiere Killed the Techno Star
Fuck if I know what to make of Berliner T. Raumschmiere. When I first heard his last album (The Great Rock and Roll Swindle), I thought, "Now this is techno that I can get into. This is techno that wants to get dirty and fuck." But then I listened to it some m...READ MORE |
 FLEX DON'T VEX

 YES
No Thanks
The genre of progressive rock-well at least the prog that doesn't come from Germany-is cited by many a serious music fan as being one of the bigger blemishes on rock's spotty face (along with jazz-funk and Oasis' Be Here Now). We're talking soulless muso music...READ MORE |
