in Shit I Assume To Be True,Your Shitty Nation-State,Your Shitty Pop Culture

A good friend of mine, who is a picture-framer by trade, has hanging in his shop a framed photo of a man (I don’t know who) standing with Fidel Castro.  It is set in perhaps the 1970′s, the two men sniffing the wrappers of freshly rolled cigars, grinning ear to ear.  This friend of mine [...]

Turning “Meh” into “FFFFUUUUUU!”

February 15, 2012

Jesus.  It’s been way too long between posts here.  I didn’t have any ideas!  In case you haven’t noticed, stillbjornicorns (OH YES, that is how I will refer to you), my comedic wheelhouse tends to be complaining about things that I fuckin’ hate.  Even when I’m writing something semi-intelligent and insightful about current affairs or [...]

So It Begins

January 10, 2012

Well, folks, it finally happened. This past Friday, the elusive V. Nigel Taylor showed up at my home to officially start work on the next full length Platform One album.  I am planning on giving as much of an in depth view of the entire process on this blog as I possibly can without compromising [...]

The Five Dollar Endless Download

January 3, 2012

Louis CK is a funny bastard.  He’s also forward thinking and interesting. He recently released his “Live at the Beacon Theater” stand-up special via his own website as a $5 download. I, super-duper internet pirate extraordinaire, paid my $5 to Louis out of respect and appreciation for what he’s trying to do. The user pays [...]

The Lost Week

December 28, 2011

The ancient Mayans had a stupid calendar system.  Stupid enough in fact to be easily misinterpreted by big Hollywood studios and leftover Y2K cranks as foretelling the end of the world next year. One silly quirk that the Mayans got right is the unlucky, scary, dark, final 5 days of their year that are not [...]

Dismember To Remember

December 12, 2011

Well, we’re getting deep into December, and you know what that means, kiddies! Yes, it’s that special time of year! The season when little boys and girls all over the internet start posting their uber-cynical, ultra-depressing rants about how Christmas is bullshit, overly-commercialized, historically inaccurate, exclusive, and just flat out evil. Probably racist, too. I’m not [...]

Not As Simple As Bigotry

December 8, 2011

It is all too easy to dismiss the opponents of “illegal” immigration as privileged, white bigots and rednecks. I must say that while that segment certainly exists, I have come across a much more complicated “group” of people who have far more nuanced opinions and understandable resentment for our friends from Central and South America. [...]

Nostalgic For Construction Paper

December 1, 2011

Well, South Park finished up its 15th fucking season a few weeks ago. FIF-TO-THE-TEEN. That is, like, elderly as far as TV shows go.  Seinfeld only ran for 9 seasons! I hate to type in cliches, but for Christ’s sake, I almost can’t remember a time when South Park wasn’t on the air. I “came of [...]

Please, Stop Playing It, Sam…

November 30, 2011

I like music. I also really hate music.  I exist in a few comfortably narrow grooves and micro-niches of music that I enjoy. Melodic death metal from Finland, Rush, late-’90s EBM/synthpop, 80′s industrial music, Yellow Magic Orchestra, thrash…yeah whatever. I really hate being disappointed by a band that I’ve decided to like. Some bands just [...]

Review – Megadeth’s “Th1rt3en”

November 22, 2011

So, Davie boy dropped another new album on November 1st.  I’m liking it.  After 2009′s apocalyptic, super-duper-serial negative & angry feeling “Endgame,” and ditto for 2007′s “United Abominations,” it’s nice to see that Dave can be silly again.  Yes, I said “silly.”  This album has a much appreciated tongue-in-cheek vibe to it that has been [...]
