Gabe said “We’re Into Movements” has returned from Freedarko.com-dom in full force, and it is indeed the genius tragicomedy we all remember, love and laugh with, cry and die for: “I THINK PEOPLE THINK THAT PEOPLE LISTEN TO TRIBE BECAUSE IT INCUBATES SOME LONG-LOST NOTIONS OF A LIFE MORE BOHEMIAN. ROCKING JEAN SHORTS AND CROSS […]

I am cleaning and found this hilarious ancient diary entry: Stuff I need to purchase before tomorrow for Prom: black nail polish rhinestones, glue black tights hair thing (chopsticks, black paint) cool glitter make-up. This rad substitute teacher we had today for speech let me go to my car and get my board and skate […]

THE POPE IS 80 YEARS SCARY TODAY. If my corporeal terror of God’s Rottweiler at all corresponded to an ephemeral fear of a vengeful new-testament God, I might invoke revelations about the fact that I cannot leave my damn house. Alas, I simply do not believe in Jesus like that. Damn the wind, the downpour […]

BUT ONLY TWO OF THEM – First and foremost, ya hilween (“sweet one” in Arabic, word to Sarah) Rachael has begun blogging! She is a dear friend, a crazy-intelligent PHd candidate (but no nose-clamped academic) and a better writer about music than she will ever take credit for. Blog roll, si? Si. – McDreamy came […]

You knew I couldn’t go one day without blogging about 30 Rock. Just re-watching “Jack Meets Dennis,” the episode where Liz is dating the only beeper salesmen left in Manhattan, and realized the entire opening sequence is a long spoof on sex in the city, down to the “walking and talking frankly about sex on […]

Before this blog turns into Right On, complete with fold-out posters of all your fave rap celebs, let me point out this long overdue frightening profile of God’s Rottweiler and the oft-jacked style of Joan Didion, with regard to her genealogy. I read Run River and thought the prose was great but having had western […]

Yesterday was Zach Braff’s 32nd Birthday. Related: Last night a gang of us went to this bar up the street. They were iPod DJing pretty good old hip-hop (somehow Ghost Town DJs got played twice in a half hour?), the bartender was a dead ringer for DJ Drama, and the crowd was 70% people who […]

Thanks to Professor Kun for sending me this mp3 with the subject line “To Be a Bossy Algerian in France.” As bangers and mash-ups go, it’s Tasty. (WAH-WAAAAAAAHH) (PS I HAVE NO IDEA IN WHAT CONTEXT THIS WAS CREATED. JOSH?)

My ol boss M. Azerrad IM’d me recently and said, “When is your biopic starring Tina Fey as you coming out?” Recently, on the “Fighting Irish” episode of 30 Rock, I realized that my ACTUAL, REAL LIFE DANCE TEACHER was guest starring as Liz Lemon’s dance teacher. Granted, she is one of many dance teachers […]

This has been my personal crusade for about six months now: because there is nothing worse than a rapper contrasting the $10,000 worth of diamonds in his mouth with enlarged and clogged pores. You think I’m joking. I’m so, so not. I feel very passionately about this – I’d much rather see a dude wearing […]
