I smell a new Law and Order Spin Off
After Cleveland’s collapse, Ben Wallace has suggested he might retire. Ben
helped take the Pistons from the basement to a perennial 50+ win team, 2 Finals and 1 championship — plus he was part of one of the great rip off trades of all time — which is nice.
He probably should retire, always undersized his game depended somewhat on positioning but also on strength and...
Things Money Can Buy #7
Seventh in a series of awesome, ridiculous or ridiculously awesome things you can buy on the Internet. American icon, F-BFF and Wings fan Cameron Freye. You know him. You know his dad had a sweet car. And you know that car parked it in a sweet garage. You know he crys to his dad and then the movie goes back to Ferris who is running to lie and lying to run. The house and garage, which really exist...
Last Tourist — Good Advice
A Quick Message to Guitar Center Credit Card...
Fox Detroit is running a contest to see which Detroit band knows a guy who can write a code to hack a broke ass web voting system.
The “winning” band gets to go to Rothbury and play a 40 min set on a small stage, a 15 minute set on the main stage, plus get free tickets to the event and a campsite pass (tent and poop bucket not included). I really think they should send the hacker guy...
Thursday's in June
I don’t really know PJ, the beponytailed owner of the Lager House, but I did have a brief conversation with him in the men’s room at LH during the Hard Lesson’s show last weekend. You see, I had been drinking beer and I had to pee (what’ your excuse for being in there?) I do not know if PJ had to pee, because he was busy cleaning up a clogged toilet and it never came up. I...

Douchebags already have St Patty’s, Dave Matthew’s concerts and ladies night at Woody’s, do we really have to give them this too?

Things Money Can Buy #6
Sixth in a series of awesome, ridiculous or ridiculously awesome things you can buy on the Internet.
Joe Naylor, the President and founder of Reverend Guitars in Warren, MI is selling one of two prototypes of the Ron Ashton signature guitar model. The other was stolen from Ron in the most dangerous city in the world, Toronto, Canada last year on tour.
Even if Reverend hasn’t manufactured...
Pre-Release Release
Right now you can buy the new Deastro album on iTunes.
That’s over a month from the “release” date… which is pretty much meaningless I guess.
Not this thing, or one of those free things Randy gives out like hugs at a rave… but the “real” album that’s out on a record label that presumably rents office space.
Yeah, that’s right… they...
Have I every mentioned that I love stuff like...
It's a what now?
Not sure what to make of Danger Mouse’s latest move. (via the always awesome Coolfer)
Is it genius or just pretentious?
An F.U. to the man or a publicity stunt?
Savvy or a clue that another taste maker is losing touch?
Ultimately, Dark Night of the Soul should probably be judged on it’s on musical merits, not it’s marketing. Personally, I’m undecided on the songs at...
WatchGrim fades to soul crushing… at least it’s 75 degrees today.

Things Money Can Buy #5
Fifth in a series of awesome, ridiculous or ridiculously awesome things you can buy on the Internet.
The economy has been hard on everyone. It’s been months since you’ve had work. In fact, you’ve kind of given up looking. You just get up everyday, drink a case of Natty Lite and let your beard grow.
Then it hits you. “I kind of look like Jesus.”
And people love...
What?
Retro mini is a hand held system that plays the original 8-bit nintendo cartridges.
LOLZ!
My favorite part is when she raps.
I also like it when she points at the box. The box with the dick in it.
Hey
Remember that one time when that blog linked to that one video from (SNL, Family Guy, Thirty Rock, Gay Porno version of Star Wars). It was from that episode that aired (yesterday, last week, last month, in the ’80s). That was the greatest blog post of all time. You know I came up with that right? Yup the idea to link to a video that everybody has already seen on the web from another place on...

Fine. Yes. I’m literate. I even have a column in Ebony called “Musings.”
Tracy’s literal hero is Martin Lawrence. Who basically did this.
That, my friend, is the definition of Meta-awesome.
Really?
I’m certainly not the first to bring this up… but seriously, how the eff was this the most popular movie of the 1980s?
And the soundtrack wasn’t just standard issue, I think they played over the air raid speakers in my town.
Right now it seems litterally impossible that happened.
Working Band, Band Working
Detroit has a fairly consistent history of ignoring bands people elsewhere seem to like. There are plenty of stories of the Stooges and MC5 getting responses from Detroit crowds that varied between hostile and apathetic. Eventually, those bands became the model for a lot of Detroit kids who’s parents were the ones ignoring those bands, this is ironic, but maybe not very important. The...
the Dead Weather
Are playing the Fillmore on July 24.
Pre-tickets go on Sale May 13 at noon if you want to give them an email address.
Okay, you’re cool. You wear leather and smoke… we get it. We went to high school and know who James Dean is and saw ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ too.
Do you think Dean is going to end up ‘dating’ that Daria looking chick? I mean they’re...
Another Idea You Didn't Have
Damnit. I totally could have thought of that. In fact I definitely would have thought of it if I hadn’t been so busy drinking all this delicious draft beer.
Irony is a huge bitch.
America for the Winners by the Winners
I think every major city in America should have to elect a member of the 1976 NBA All-Star Team Mayor for 3 months.
I mean, it only makes sense. If we don’t even the playing field… ahh… I mean it just wouldn’t be fair to handle things any other way.

Eastside Gossip
Jackson Smith and Meg White are going to get married.
That’s a bit of cradle robbing on Meg’s part… typical drummer.
The report is they’re getting married in Nashville.
I think they should have got married at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club Dave Ghrol stizz, because this is definitely the kind of event you want to crash.
The groomsmen were Keith Richards, Annie...
All Wilco All the Time
I’m in a Wilco mood today, must be my old-manness.
They are playing July 21 at the Royal Oak Music Theater — that should sell out quickly.
Tix go on sale May 8 at 5pm because that’s a totally normal time for tickets to go on sale.
I gotta snap out of it and get my gameface on… Mastodon approaches.
