Subtle Bluntness

Lots of wonderful people are having issues with their employment.  They’re not happy with it, they might be losing it, they’re looking for new work, they’re stressed out and irritated and grumpy.  In this economy… hell, in this world, I can completely empathize.  People aren’t happy all over. I’m not sure this is a happy [...]

Of all of Damon Albarn‘s insane projects, Gorillaz is my favorite because it’s so unstoppably funky in an experimental trip-hop sort of way. If you don’t shake your ass to this video, you are the whitest person in the history of honkeydom.

I love Rock and Roll High School. It’s the right combination of insane and cheesy to really sit well in my heart. The Ramones hang out with PJ Soles? Sure, I’m definitely down with that. Even if it’s too late to get the Feel Good Friday blogroll bump.

Think I’ll have a beer and lay in the hammock tomorrow.

I saw these guys live at the old Pandemonium before it closed, and before they broke up. They’re the best band to ever come out of Nashville, Tennessee. That’s all I’ve got to say.

Fast forward to the 1:37 mark. Then please join me in stabbing out your ear drums. Personally, I’m going to use a broken fork I stole from the campus dining center in college. I stole the fork because it had only two tines on the outside, and no tines in the middle. Perfect for going [...]
