Joke's on You Al Qaeda
Bombed out is our local aesthetic, murder and terror don’t scare us - especially when it’s only attempted.
We elect scarier people than you to office and we pack more heat than all the irate Baathists you can find in Baghdad.
We are not suggesting you keep trying to murder us, we’re only saying these wannabees you keep sending can’t hang and are far less imposing than parking at Alvins. Did we...
The Metro Von Bondie's Gonna Be Pissed? →
Very entertaining read in today’s metrotimes. I think it has the intended effect of making one want to go out and see the Hounds Below, or maybe even the Von Bondies again.
You should read the whole thing, so I’ll just hit a few high, hard ones that I learned in this interview.
Villify the villified, vanilla, vermillion villain.
Too many interviews, hint of misrepresentation...

Who the eff is Brian Patrick Carroll and why does he deserve a signature Gibson Les Paul?
Cuz he’s Buckethead, duhvs.
Yes, the shredmaster decked out in a Halloween/Col. Sanders hybrid costume is getting his own, rather striking Les Paul. The guitar lists for $4,311, so you should be able to pick one...

yesterday, someone told me Terrence Trent D’Arby wasn’t a fan of the Big Montana. I just about lost my shit. fuck you and your lies!!!!!!!
good morning.
DUH!
Records made on a laptop you say?
What will they think of next?
Also, love the selection of 20-25 year-old albums they use as examples.
PLATINUM ALBUMS… HA!
But Why Make it Simple?
Further, if you have the internet (and if you are selling on Etsy or eBay, I’d guess you do) you can print postage online and either just hand your packages to the Mail Man or even schedule a pickup where they send someone out to get your boxes (no fooling)… whiny and uniformed… the NYTimes further encroaching on blogger territory.
PS, that pickup stuff works if you have...

I know they say let he who is without sin cast the first stone, but I can’t find that guy and I love rock chucking.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
Not to mention the whole “thou shall not steal” and “thou shall not covet” stuff.
That’s 3 of the top 10 and I’m not even trying.

Peep this shit yo… that’s Geddy Lee’s 4002 Rickenbacker bass… or a least one of them.
Rick basses are probably more identified with McCartney (who used one on many of the later albums and in the videos for Magical Mystery Tour) and of course bass-face-melter Lemmy. but Lee used...
Tonight is Aoki Night in Detroit
Steve Aoki is djing tonight Dec 10 at Vain Ultra Lounge, 1500 Woodward (I know, I never heard of it either).
I only bring it up because I want to mention this NY Mag article on his father, Benihana founder, champion wrestler, speedboat racer, and national backgammon champion, the late Rocky Aoki.
Three years after it was written, my brother (who shares Rocky’s birthday) and I still bring...
I like this, I imagine Sausalito covering it this...
Still would have been better with Soderbest →
Thanks to Vulture.
MEET GARY GRAFF!!!
And some other dude who helped him write this book on Bob Seger this Saturday, December 12 at 2pm at Record Time in Roseville.
I’ve met Gary Graff… you won’t be disapointed.
I also once stole Gary Graff’s name tag when he failed to show up at a high school journalism convention… I only bring that up so you get a sense of how fucking balls-out crazed I was back in...

Trent Reznor really wants you to believe he’s putting Nine Inch Nails to bed, so much so that he’s selling a bunch of their touring gear on eBay.
Yes, there’s cool stuff like this guitar with the Fragile cover on the front, but there’s also stuff like surge protectors and time code...

Man of the Millennium
Darryl “Chocolate Thunder” Dawkins claimed to be an alien from planet Lovetron where he spent off-season practicing “interplanetary funkmanship” and where his girlfriend Juicy Lucy still lived.
He also named his dunks things like:
The Chocolate-Thunder-FlyingRobinzine-Crying, Teeth-Shaking, Glass-Breaking, Rump Roasting, Bun-Toasting, Wham-Bam-I-Am Jam

It’s only depressing if you are somehow surprised by Jim’s situation or how your own sitation mirrors Jim’s. I’m not suggesting his situation doesn’t suck, but I think most people are fairly in tune with how miserable their own careers are.
30 Rock is in it’s own way far more hopeless, because Liz Lemon (not to mention Jack) has the job that Pams and Jims...
