I Call Bullshit!

Friday, August 31st, 2007

It’s hot outside again today. Really fucking hot. I made the mistake of walking over to Rite Aid to pick up some personal items, and as I sit here writing this I am covered in a layer of sweat. I even wore shorts (again!) today. The box fan in my window simply isn’t cutting it, [...]

Book Preview: Fight

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

It looks like Eugene Robinson is gearing up for his assault on the Times Bestseller List. November sees the release of Fight: Or, Everything you Ever Wanted to Know about Ass-Kicking But Were Afraid You’d Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking, and I could not be more excited. Although the subject matter has been broached [...]

Record Review: Graveland – Fire Chariot Of Destruction

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

As mentioned in the last installment, I recently received a cache of albums from my friend Sam with explicit instructions to review them on this page. Of course, Sam has always been something of a subverter, and enjoys art which tends to question or go against the establishment. Because he’s a joker at heart, I [...]

Hey, fatso, yeah I’m talking to you. I don’t see any other fatties around here…

Someone Else Watched 3 Fast 3 Furious (And The Elliott Smith Wall Gets Tagged)

Monday, August 27th, 2007

Apparently I’m not the only person obsessed with the motion picture event known as 3 Fast 3 Furious. You’ll be surprised to discover that while I was reading CNN’s website at 2am this morning, I came across a little article about a car wreck. The car contained the son of one of my childhood idols, [...]

SUNDAY MIX TAPE – VOLUME 81

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

I guess today is another one of those two-update days. Aren’t you readers lucky? Both music related! I guess I’m finally living up to my billing as a music blogger? The thought of it might be sickening, sure, but the reality is that I try to spend as little time writing about music as a [...]

Upsilon Acrux / Entrance / Greg Ashley @ Fuck Yeah Fest (Day 1)

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Until Ilya reminded me, I forgot that this weekend was Fuck Yeah Fest. For those of you who don’t know what I am referring to, there’s a music and comedy festival that happens right here in Echo Park. Of course, the fact that I completely failed to remember it was happening should clue you in [...]
