| Sach O: Mr. Scruff – Sweet Smoke Video | April 4, 2010 |
Sometimes we write long-winded pieces exhorting you to give Nicki Minaj a shot, other times we post old Ninjatune cartoons about pie and the citizens who love it. Hopefully your weekends looked something like this.
| Robotic, Let’s Think Optimistic, You Probably Missed It | January 12, 2010 |
For posterity, a few links to stuff written elsewhere that you may or may not be interested in perusing. If not, may you be subjected to a fate worse than Jeff Zucker. First, humor me as I again shill for The Stylus Decade. The lists and essays are done and the site is destined to […]
| The Doctor is In | July 31, 2009 |
Ideal prescriptions for remedying a foul mood Friday: 1. Eating: Greasy spoon breakfast–vegetarian omelette (cheese + avocado essential), fresh fruit, raisin toast, strong coffee. 2. Reading: Tom Wolfe, “The Right Stuff.” Raymond Chandler, “The Long Goodbye.” 3. Listening: Y.G.’s “I Need Weed.” Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 leak–Raekwon + Meth + Deck + Ghost […]
| Happy Thanksgiving | November 27, 2008 |
A happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Thank you for continuing to read these pretentious polemics–the support is much appreciated. Really, now is the time for us all to give thanks that we’re not being ruled by a gang of ascetic Pilgrims with a predilection for butter churning and ruffled shirts. After all, take a […]
| Plastic Snow Charity Comp/”Stack the Memory” | November 25, 2008 |
I’d have been inclined to post on Confessions of a Would-Be Hipsters’ new compilation off blog name alone, but when I found out that the proceeds would benefit Los Angeles’ longest-running homeless shelter, The Midnight Mission, it was a no-brainer. Available for $10 digital purchase at E-Junkie, the album features exclusive original holiday songs from […]
| Who is the Real Tito the Builder? | October 30, 2008 |
I ask you this, people of America: what exactly do we know about this so-called Tito the Builder character and why have we never seen him and Tito Santana in the same room? I want answers, Palin, and I want them now. Download: MP3: Santana-“Evil Ways” See Also:
| For the Literary Nerds (Ya Out There) | October 29, 2008 |
Via the inimitable Alfred Soto, comes this 1984 Buchanan/Braden Program clip, featuring Gore Vidal at his most mordant: alleging that Lincoln was syphilitic, eviscerating the idea of the film auteur, and dismissing Ernest Hemingway as a glorified Field and Stream writer with a gift for publicity.

| Zapped! | October 9, 2008 |
There are days when I think Zapped! might be my favorite film ever. Usually weed is involved. Bonus Footage: Scott Baio uses his telekinetic powers to undress comely co-eds (clearly NSFW) and a Zapped! highlight reel featuring Scatman Crothers’ dream involving Albert Einstein and his wife in a Viking Helmet. (via Skeet on Mischa, er […]
| Song To Woody | October 7, 2008 |
I was supposed to type up my interview with Bishop Lamont but instead decided to watch the last half of the Red Sox-Angels Game. As Goodie Mobb once eloquently put it: “Decisions, Decisions.” After watching the Angels blow the game, I have decided to salve my wounds by watching old Woody Allen clips from You […]
