Monsters exist, they just do, I'm sorry



I know I've said this on here before over and over, but the ocean is disgusting. Just filled with millions of hellish monsters eating each other nonstop all day and night who'd suck the steak meat right out of your ass bones in a second if you ever gave them the chance. Our man Mint E. Fresh (not his real name), who chimed in on the Beastie Boys the other day is bugging out about the ocean today as well. This is what he had to say:


You ever see a cuttlefish? They change colors like an old tv that doesn't work right  -- for real bright ribbons of color blasting down its body mega fast. It's unbeeleebaboo.  Look at this:

MTV and Chuck Klosterman and Ira Glass illustrate exactly why you're never going to make it as a musician or an artist



This might be a surprise to every single person who has ever read anything I've ever written, but I'm only a moderate Chuck Klosterman fan. That's rare, since you either love him or hate him it seems, and even weirder since he's what I call around the home office here "absolute best case scenario, but not gonna happen so what's the point?" I've read a couple of his books, which I've enjoyed, but having him be my thing always seemed a little too on the nose.

I do, however, jump at the chance to read his essays on sports and pop culture that show up from time to time in the magazines I can't get them to stop sending me no matter how hard I try. It's always a genuine treat, like finding a roll of pennies in a log of shit, but with more perfume advertisements. 

In this interview with the AV Club he talks about something that I always say about why people in bands are so boring to be around, namely, that they have to actually believe in their own lie 100% of their lives and constantly be focused on the pursuit of their goal to the detriment of everything else in the world, like, for example, being able to maintain a conversation for five seconds that doesn't somehow loop right back into "their shit." 

In other words, the biggest obstacle to someone who wants to succeed in a difficult industry is the tiniest chink in the self delusional armor. (That's racist).

Here's how Klosterman puts it. 

AVC: So if I wanted to be a rock star, I could be from anywhere, but what do I have to do?
CK: The biggest thing—and I hate to say this, because it sounds like a criticism—but if someone aspires to be a rock star, there are two things that really matter. One is talent. But the thing that perhaps matters even more is having an unrealistic perception of what your life can be. Because if you’re a reasonable person, you would never become a rock star or a Hollywood actor. Being the best singer or guitar player is not necessarily in line with who’s going to be the most successful. It has to do with other people deciding that you are attractive. Not even being beautiful is enough—there are thousands of people in L.A. who are beautiful who are working as waitresses. But someone has to go, “This person is so beautiful, I want to pay money to watch them.” So if you really want to be a rock star, you really have to start with the premise that you are going to be so successful at this one improbable thing, so much so that you don’t create a backup plan. Because you will take it when things get tough. You can’t be like, “I want to be like Prince, but I also want to go to architecture school.” You’re going to end up an architect with really weird clothes.
To put it another way, if it has ever occurred to you that it's probably not going to happen, your band, or whatever little project you're working on, then it's already too late. Best to give up now, before you end up embarrassing yourself. 

With that in mind, this is my last blog post ever. See you.

Hateful cretins vs. good old boys and the pigs. Who ya got?



Tough call here. On the one hand, who hasn't thought about fucking these Westboro Baptist Church horrorshows in their shit-eating faces (via yr fist) -- fist/facefucking I guess you'd call it. But then again, on the other side of the fight card we've got Mississippi cops and shitkickers, who, you may be surprised to know, my elitist liberal bias doesn't often allow me to align myself with.

I Hate the Media, a site I thought I was going to like based solely on its name, but I soon figured out after about five seconds I really, really (for-really) do not, has the story of the first time the funeral protesting GOD HATES FAGS fuckers met their match. Thanks to for the tip.

Brandon, Mississippi will go down in history as the town where the Westboro Baptist Church met its match.

The lunatics showed up to protest at the funeral of local hero Staff Sgt Jason Rogers who was killed in Afghanistan, but left town without making a peep. They may have made a few moans and groans, but no peeps.
The Hayride has the righteous report:
A couple of days before, one of them (Westboro protestors) ran his mouth at a Brandon gas station and got his arse waxed. Police were called and the beaten man could not give much of a description of who beat him. When they canvassed the station and spoke to the large crowd that had gathered around, no one seemed to remember anything about what had happened...

You can imagine where it goes from there. (He fixes the cable?) Go read the rest of the story there if you must. 

Speaking of tough calls: that girl in the photo up top? Shiiiit. Alright, but as long as she doesn't talk about politics the whole time.




THE KIDS love the dream pop post punk glo fi these days

THE KIDS loving stuff like they do

I went to see Beach Fossils and Craft Spells last night via WZBC via Great Scott, which, if you pictured me wearing a cardigan and those floppy canvas shoes the kids wear these days while I said that, fair enough.






The show was actually a blast. No idea both bands would be so fun to dance to. As I say in my for the most part very positive review of the show out in the Globe tomorrow "One knock on the bands, and bands like this in general, of which there are many now, is that the vocals lose something in on the fly effects mixing. A fellow critic in the audience compared both bands' sound to Joy Division, which is a good call – I wanted to dance to both all night, but neither of the frontmen could sing."

haha, good one old buddy.

So, yeah, music and whatever, but I think the most surprising thing of the night was this Beach Fossil guitar players outfit. 


So...I guess Renaissance Faire Beach Bum is going to be a thing now. Yikes.



It's racist because it's true. Or is it funny because it's racist?


We've all seen those round ups of old timey sexist and racist ads on the internet, like this one here, which for some reason is making me rethink my aversion to the "matures" section on You Porn which I usually avert my eyes from like a wrinkly eclipse:


But did you know people are still sexist? Even people who make and sell things? Like this ad up top, which is apparently for some sort of remote control device (via Nerve, via ), and is making people angrrry. Says Nerve:

Keep in mind the ad appeared in the latest issue of Lexington Life Magazine, which came out in April 2011, not 1911. And yes, lots of technologically-abled women are pretty pissed. Some companies have even pulled their ads from the magazine in protest and Ms. Magazine is sponsoring a petition against the company. It's so easy, even a slightly offended consumer (which should be anyone with functioning neurons) can sign it.

All good points, but have you ever seen your girlfriends try to operate the remote control without crashing the DVR fastforward off a cliff, or end up on some other dimensional channel you didn't even know existed? It's like watching a seal crash a tiny motorcycle into the pool at Seaworld. Cute at first, but a little goes a long way.  



Wack cameos on Beastie Boys songs, but not this new Beastie Boys album, or the Santigold cameo on this album, which is not a wack cameo



Grumpy old white rapper Mint E. Fresh isn't too happy about this Nas cameo on the new Beastie Boys album, which is surprising to me, because who knew the Beastie Boys still existed? Here's his beef (that's rap talk). 


The new Beastie Boys album called Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is out and here’s the review: great.  I was fully prepared to loathe this new album though, after hearing "Too Many Rappers" (on which the rapping emcee Nas make a cameo) but it's legit dope (as opposed to nostalgia-dope), which means “good” in wiggerese. For the first time since Ill Communication – which is inferior to this new joint, and which was a Beastie Boys album from the 90s and that’s all I’m explaining to you youngsters, you have Wikipedia and whatnot look it up – our gents have released an album that is bugged out rather than phoned in.  Yay that makes me happy because I am old and white.  Beats are fresh the whole way through and there are a shitload of dope routines. The whole album sounds fresh and inspired (except for Nas).  My only complaint is that the album is not entirely free of wack rhymes or filler rhymes but they are surprisingly few and far between especially compared to the last couple albums, in which the wack filler rhymes were many and close between.  Wait I do have another complaint, which I’ve already made, and that’s the wack cameo by Nas.

Baby carrots

via Weird Universe

All the time I was dealing with my minor case of blogger's-block this week, I forgot what it takes to get back to the roots of blogging, namely going on someone else's site and stealing their shit. My man The Devil just reminded me about Weird Universe, the collector of everything Stupidian in the world that by no means is a much better version of this site, so don't worry about going to read them instead because I will find you. 

Here's a thing.  Check out this video of a bunch of Brazilian bikini broads falling down all over the place trying to kick a soccer ball. Not much different than regular soccer in that regard, right fellas? *punches horse* *loves America*


Because it's a bunch of tits, I mean. Speaking of tits, can't decide whether or not I would with that rabbit slut up there. Come on, she's got cartoon floating hearts around her head and a giant orange dick in her paws. Reminds me of my second date with your sister.


And then we never had to talk about Obama's birth certificate again



Occasionally my feed spills some news water on my shirt face and the stupid stings my eyes. Happens to the best of us. This piece in USA Today just now, which is probably best known as the paper that assigns people in hotels recycling homework (just kidding if they're hiring), has a brief on the one guy who can sort this whole Obama gift certificate mess out and bring us all together as a country, Jesse Jackson. Birth certificate I mean, although I'd take a few Obama gift certificates if you guys have any, because that shit is expensive. 

"Any discussion of his birthplace is a code word," Jackson said to Politico. "It calls upon ancient racial fears." 

Politico is, of course, the site where really ugly people, like surprisingly ugly, go to get mad about things in front of their computer. Unlike this site, which is for moderately attractive people.

President Obama, the nation's first black president, was born in Hawaii. He released his birth certificate and other details of his birth today.

Jackson went on to say: "Trump has trumpeted this cause. For him to go down this low is a bit surprising. He is now tapping into code-word fears that go far beyond a rational discourse."
That's not just lazy, repetitive word choice there, it's also an example of Jackson being a hypocrite, calling down our ingrained biological fear of trumpets. 

An interview with some dick head about why he sucks

My author photo
The weird nice folks at Phantom Barflys, a newish website about drinking things with your mouth asked me some questions about why I'm such a drunk. Genes, I should have sad. My dirty Irish genes. Anyway, here it is. Go read their site if you want. Speaking of other Boston drinking sites, this one HubNightlife is pretty cool too. Of course my saying that has nothing to do with the fact that both sites are interested in . 

Take it away guy from that other site: 
 
Phantom Barflys, the heavy drinking bar-scribes have landed the big dog of the Boston area boozing scene. Luke O'Neil kindly (plied with much cheap liquor) accepted the Barflys' offer to an interview about his impending epic dive bar tome Boston's Best Dive Bars-Drinking & Diving in Beantown. This interview took place in the ladies room of the Midway Cafe but not on Dyke Night. Drink up!


Barflys - To me dive bars are like porn: hard to define, but you know it when you see it. I guess you like porn too?

L.O.- I spend so much time in the book talking about whether or not this or that or the other things makes a bar a dive, and I still never arrived at a clear formula. You've got a few classes though: a bucket of blood, a shit hole, a frat dive, a hipster dive, sports dive, neighborhood social club, and remodeled dive that thinks it's not a dive anymore are a few of the most frequent. Opposite of porn in that if you can conceive of yourself masturbating anywhere near it, it's not a dive.

Barflys- How would you define dive bars? Include odors explicitly.

L.O.- Piss cakes. Thousand year old cigarettes. Old floozy perfume. Whatever Irish people smell like.

Barflys- Name several particularly vile dive bar bathrooms we should investigate-professionally! And where can we find bullet holes?

Ghost Blog - the blog that was a ghost. Plus a guy who cut his own fucking leg off with a power saw

via

In the fantasy football circles I run in, which is pretty rarified company, when a guy stops showing up to update his team we say he's running a ghost ship. Kind of applies to PTSOTL the last day or two, although I guess it's more accurately called a ghost blog.

What do you think the best definition of a ghost blog is? A blog about ghosts? Or is it a blog that gets tons of unique ghost impressions every day? Or, or, or maybe it's like an actual ghost floating around in the corner or whatever but you can post awesome stories about your boring life on its ghost skin? Hard to say.

Speaking of ghosts, this is fucked up. Here's a headline so gruesome you almost don't even want to read it just in case any of it gets on you. 

"Power Saw Used In Plymouth Murder-Suicide." 

Alternate headline: YIKES. What's the deal with this tragedy, CBS?

The nineties are (still) officially back. Again. One more time.

Accurate representation of how we all felt back then, suicidal, but firmly supported by our boots.

As if we needed any further evidence that we're really going ahead with this nineties nostalgia thing, iconic Brit cordwainers Dr. Martens have, at long last, deigned to dip their (steel) toes into the fetid pool of fashion. Other parts of your body fashion I mean. They're making clothes is what I'm trying to say. Shirts and stuff. 


The nineties, if you'll recall, was a time when everyone wore flannel shirts like this, and we were all beautiful and skinny and dead from heroin and everyone wanted to fuck Winona Ryder very, very badly, and most of us got to. Everyone smelled bad as well, probably from wearing Doc Martens boots with giant lumberjack socks and shredded courdoroy cut off shorts to dusty fields where we watched shirtless barely-even tattooed men with chinstrap beards do surfer squats in front of a microphone. Also we were all walking around with giant, unfashionable pube bushes without shame.

9tz kind of sounded like this only less, you know, new



In short, it was the best decade ever, and not just because it was when I went to school  and touched my first girl pee pees, and I'm now viewing it through the rose-colored goggles of misremembered youth. I mean, mostly because of that, but not entirely. We also had, uh... music that meant something back then. Sure, it sounded like it was recorded inside a tin coffin filled with wet turds, but it meant something. 

Anyway, go buy these clothes if you want to remember what all that stuff was like. I dunno, man. The system or whatever.

Epic old lady is a bad ass



I don't really have much to say about the latest fast food beat down video here, other than the usual, which is that we are a wretched species who deserve whatever lightning bolt and/or Biblical flood style smiting we have coming. Oh, and also that this old lady, the only one who seems to give a shit that a woman is getting stomped to death in front of her, is a fucking bad ass. That's all. Have a good day.

Brandon Marshall: PTSOTL gentle-man of the week


Miami Dolphins player Brandon Marshall, whom I have a wholly justified hatred of based simply on the fact that he plays professional football two times a year against a team I personally support due to an accident of geographical happenstance that placed the building the New England Patriots players go to work at within a 50 mile radius of where I live, is no stranger to controversy. When former Denver Broncos teammate Darrent Williams was murdered a couple years ago, it seems likely, according to this very interesting Sports Illustrated article about the perils of spraying champagne on them hoes up in the club, making it rain, flashing your chain, and whatever other ridiculous shit young millionaires and the people who want to be them do when they go out, that Marshall was the intended target.

"We were outside that limo, so that's probably why they shot at that limo," he said. "If I didn't act rowdy outside the club? It probably wouldn't have happened."

He may have dodged a bullet on that one, but...wait for it... dodging a knife. apparently isn't quite as easy. 

*Journalism*



No, no! How about this? Brandon Marshall may be used to going up against the toughest NFL attacks, but his wife was one defense this shifty wide receiver couldn't cut through. Aww, fuck it. To the box quote:

Won't somebody think about the children? Colt 45's Blast destroys nation's hopes, dreams

Wait a minute, this was a real advertisement?


Call me a narc, but I happen to think that children and teenagers pouring fermented plant poison on their retarded little unformed brains is gross. I'm just traditional that way. I actually didn't get drunk until I was like twenty years old. I think it was a TGI Friday's frozen mudslide mix this one bro was whipping up in his dorm room. Totally sick party that night. I finger-blasted like seven different chicks played tons of Mario Kart alone in my room after.  I didn't turn out so bad though, right? Look at me now. People pay me to get drunk. Never give up on your dreazzzzzzzzzzz.....

But guess who is going to keep trying to get wasted despite what your mother and I have been trying to tell you all these years? Pretty much every kid ever. That's why all the hand-wringing over alcoholic beverages that are supposedly marketed toward kids is a goofy waste of time. Remember when we banned Four Loko, then no one ever got drunk again? 

Now there's a new fruit juice demon on the shelves called Blast, from Colt 45, who are clearly not thinking about the future of America's brightest bla bla bla. 



What the fuck is dubstep anyway?

Rusko, doing whatever it is DJs do.

I had to figure it out quick so I could explain what Rusko is to the Boston Globe readers. Did I ever figure it out? Sort of. 


Dubstep is so hot right now. Dubstep is also so over. Depends on who you talk to.

The sub-genre of electronic music spun off from UK garage and drum ’n’ bass has been steadily bubbling over in dance clubs around the world since its inception in the early part of the last decade. As tends to be the case with all such trends, the term has come to encompass an amorphous range of styles; but it’s most typically characterized by its distinctive half-time kick and snare, wobbling low-end bass lines, and buzzing chainsaw effects. This past year, the form saw its most obvious entrée into the mainstream (much to the dismay of fans who tend to hyperventilate about these sorts of things) when it showed up in the breakdown of Britney Spears’s “Hold It Against Me.’’ That was either the moment when the trend suffered a popular death, or gained new life by expanding to a much broader, untapped audience.

Meh, you can't win 'em all I guess



I was so excited about taking this stupid picture of the car in front of me the other day because the bumper sticker was so stupid that I almost killed myself wheeling off into a store front. Then I forgot about the photo for a few days, and realized it wasn't even that funny in the first place after all. But now here I am with nothing much to post tonight, so, I dunno, there you go. Have fun or whatever it is you people do when you skim read this blog. I'll be out back.

Get me doing shtick on WFNX this morning


shit verus crap. who ya got?


Remember when I did this thing on WFNX 101.7 the other week? I came back for round two today to defend my title, and like a gentleman, I danced with the girl that brought me to the party, or the whiny boy-man as the case may be, and stuck with my suburban mall-core theme. Did I win? You'll have to listen to the podcast to find out (but you'll get to hear me doing some moderately decent radio shtick). OK, you know I can't keep a secret from YOU GUYS, I did win, which means you'll have to listen in next week (you can listen online as well) and vote for me on the . Because I really need a shit load of attention to keep this hip of hubris fueled. Or  you can just call in and say I'm a fucking asshole like this one guy did. "Anyone but Luke O'Neil. George Bush over Luke O'Neil," he said. OOOF. That sort of stings, bro. 


I tried embedding the thing below, but I'm a fucking idiot, so it probably doesn't work. Go here and listen to it if you like on the WFNX page.

Sometimes you want to go where everybody sells cocaine


Honk of the business nostril to Michael Marotta at the blog for passing this video along under the bathroom stall when no one was looking. I'm not sure what this song is more racist against, Boston, or the proud legacy of cocaine -- look at all that shit they're wasting. Either way I'll never listen to the Cheers theme song the same way again. Not that I ever listened to it anyway, but just in case it comes up. 

The subject line says it all, except for the neccessary WTF? While they won't be blasting this shit down at the Beacon Hill tourist trap anytime soon, you gotta hand it to the Juggalo-pimped and ICP-approved DAYTON FAMILY for turning one of television's all-time beloved theme songs into a rowdy jam about buying pure white and ripping lines (as usual, the promo video is just as awesome; all that's missing is Ass Dan).

"Kitchen full of coke, backyard full of dead cops." You don't say? 

Something to think about: if you go somewhere where everybody sells cocaine, is anyone really a coke dealer? Ponder on it.



Goddamn Bob from Goddamn Bob's Goddamn Furniture


Our Jake comes out of PTSOTL retirement with this bit. He makes wicked good songs by the way, go check them out here.

I keep waiting for this guy to go away. I don't know why I keep thinking that's going to happen. I moved to New York, partially to escape his commercials. But he is a presence in the entire Northeast. I doubt that I could hate anything or anyone more than Goddamn Bob from Goddamn Bob's Goddamn Furniture but if I do it is definitely his sycophantic orange sidekick. She enables Bob's megalomaniacal behavior. I call her Eva Braun. I will stop short of calling Bob Adolf Hitler, because the Hitler comparison has become so trite and overused; it is insulting to holocaust survivors and veterans, and because Bob is worse than Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and Glenn Beck combined times a billion. Those guys may have done a lot of things but they never fucked me in the eyes and ears with cartoon versions of themselves on a regular basis.

Real guy with imaginary gun doesn't shoot up mall



It was the most excitement they've seen at the Burlington Mall since Shaq galumphed through last year and that bitch Tammy did she-knows-what outside the food court when yesterday they shut the whole shit down after a guy with a rifle shot the place up an umbrella walked around, doing nothing. The Globe reported:

Theft, it's still a thing

via

My man Leo Crowley got his shit took, and his philosophy shook: 

See my boy up there?  He's meditating on the state of the universe/trying to save the world with positive energy/getting down to it at the molecular level/wrapping his dome around the fact that there is no you or me there is only we.  Some pretty deep shit, to be sure, but I'm willing to bet that if some douche ran by and nicked his fancy basket hat or his super sweet stone water bowl he'd be all, "Not cool, bro."


That's how I felt last night when I stepped into a local suds hole for a few minutes and then, upon exiting, discovered my scooter had been stolen.

In case you see it:

Mass. Supreme Court orders you to eat more pizza


OK, that's a little misleading, what I meant to say is they want me to get fat, because  that's what happens whenever I smoke up and dive brain first into a berserker food attack. They're basically on the verge of passing a law around here that obligates me to burn mad papers all day. WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?

I don't really smoke much, aside from taking in the occasional laugh-potion enhancer for buddy time, like the other day when my man and I came across the phrase "between pegs" in an article and thought it was the most hilarious thing ever. "Times have been tough, I'm between pegs right now." /goodstory Am I rambling? Maybe it's all the fucking marijuana smoke clouding my entire state. Here's this news from the Globe, which should make all of my hippy friends psyched.


Nerd weddings somehow less nerdy than regular weddings

via As soon as you're married you both start letting yourselves go to shit.

I'd say that these are some of the nerdiest dress up wedding photos I've ever seen [via Buzzfeed], but there's a slight snag in the math there, because every wedding ever is nerdy as nerd balls. Also, you wore a costume at your wedding too, right? You were just dressing up like a pretend rich person for the day. Someone who wears a tuxedo and a five thousand dollar dress to an impromptu fine-dining feint at a rented hotel function room. These people are actually a lot cooler, because at least they're having fun with it instead of fucking flipping out over whether or not the distant aunt they never talk to was happy with the portion size of her $40 per head salmon.

Tripping balls at Coachella is a metaphor


If the hook from this Coachella overdose [via] "I'm such a fooking dickhead" isn't remixed into some sort of viral meme by EOB tomorrow then I just don't know the internet as well as I think. Bonus points to this shit-faced Brit for summing up most of the people at the festival so concisely. 

"Look at this shit. Look at me. I'm such a DICKHEAD!" 

Art is just joking

via

I was looking for an image that accurately summed up the level of meh on display around my general facial vicinity today, and this painting jumped out at me. I got excited to check out the other stuff on the website I found it on, Emotive Expressions, because, come on, look at that kid. He doesn't give a fuck. I can't really tell what's going on here though. Is this some sort of ironic folk art piss-taking, or is it art for real art for real art?

"The bond between a boy and his dog is a special one" reads the caption for this gem. Well, yes, but wait... Is this artist fucking with us or not?




There's some interesting stuff throughout the rest of the site. But for every one like these two surrealist nightmare family portraits below, there's another like this painting of Kenny Powers the airplane pilot.

And that's why you don't teach lessons

look at this lounging fuck


Just posted at Street Carnage. Go read it there and inject some civility into those heathens' lives.

I know a thing or two about how hard it can be coming up with creative lesson plans that will challenge children, hold their attention, and actually help them to learn something. I've never tried it myself, mind you, but I'm often sitting there watching TV while my girlfriend is busting her ass all night trying to come up with ways to do it herself. Does that make me an education expert? Hard to say, but I'll leave that up to the judging whether or not something makes someone an expert at something experts out there. 

Here's a thing though, via The Week. Is it racist? Well, on the one hand it did happen in Virginia, where I am pretty sure everything that has ever happened could probably be called racist in one way or another. On the other hand, I live in Massachusetts where people like me are a bunch of overly sensitive PC pussies desperate to express our outrage over anything we can.

Dinosaur is real, scares the shit out of kids, bloggers




I forget what age it is that kids stop shitting their pants, but after watching this video I know it's at least higher than 33.  How much better would this video be with meat chunks of squealing brats splashing everywhere by the way? Oh wait, this is an Australian thing I guess. Dinosaurs just don't sound quite as scary when they roar in that dinky accident. 


In which I go do stuff and point at it with my camera words


Hey get me, doing stuff. Last night my name was... Judge, at the Boston Rock and Roll Rumble, a proud 30 + year institution in which the city's bands all compete to passive aggressively undermine eachother. That's Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, who were raw as fuck. Raw as something raw. Raw balls I guess, but that's sort of my first description for everything. Could be the skinny girl jeans without underwear I'm always stuffing my pegs into.

Long day at the meme factory


Hashtag humor is a lot like watching other people fucking. It's embarrassing and a little shameful, but eventually you just have to pull your dick out and see what happens, like in this awesome new Twitter joke I just annoyed all my followers with for a couple hours. 


Sometimes I feel like if I tried a little harder I'd be able to transport more objects inside my woven cotton stomach  

Yeah I can summon up a reasonable volume of stomach bile and throaty mucus when I need to, but I can't hang with the big boys yet

I got a pretty good testicle flop going, but it's not like I'm gonna get any awards for it. Not yet.

I'm gonna be honest with you bro, you can smoke me, but you're not gonna get that fucked up.  

I've always thought zig deserved most of the credit for our collective output.

On Photography was some game-changing shit, but then again, I'm dead, so who's doing the chronic voyeuristic relation now?

Still your number one source for Ke$ha posts on the internet



Surprisingly my editor wouldn't let me use the term "slutwave" in my review of the show, or talk about Ke$ha's lyrics being like porn dialogue, like where they do that thing where they just narrate what's going on -- "You're fucking me right now. I'm sucking that dick." -- which is basically what all of her lyrics are. Not that explicit, but I mean just literal , boring observations about what's happening. I did manage to express how uncomfortable it is to be an old in a room full of teens cheering for a hand job shout out from the stage though, so call it even. 


Glitter strewn among trashy tunes

Hard to believe it’s been less than two years since electro-pop vocoder dervish Ke$ha sprang forth onto the pop radar in a messy glop of glitter and whiskey-boasts with the release of her debut hit “Tik Tok.’’ Say what you will about the dominance of a certain other blonde dance-pop star, but we’re living in a post-Ke$ha world now. How downtrodden the city’s dance floors, how gray the world’s lipstick must have been in those B.K. years. (There was certainly less vaguely tribal face paint anyway.)

Corporations are people. Evil people who think you are stupid



I'm kind of a softy, so when I'm watching, for example, movies about giant evil corporations who knowingly pollute a small town or cut corners that ended up resulting in  tragedy, or profit off of an unnecessary war, and there's the inevitable scene where the greedy corporate pig character is about to die and he shows a flash of humanity, I'm always tricked into thinking: "Don't push that crooked accountant off the side of the skyscraper, sick-of-it-all hero! He's just like us, but he made some bad choices. And who wouldn't?" 

Real life is a movie, of course, only the villains are a lot worse. I'm starting to wonder whether or not that same empathy would apply IRL for me.  Like if you lined up the lawyers and execs at companies like Exxon Mobile, or Citigroup, or Verizon in front of an industrial man-sized meat grinder (probably made by Boeing and fuled by Conocophillips,) would I hesitate before sending them to their painful doom? 

Hard to say. Something to think about while you read this report from ThinkProgress about the most profitable companies in the country and how much they pay in taxes. Spoiler: the number is smaller than you think. Unless you think the number is zero, in which case good thinking.


Some highlights below. Read the rest over at ThinkProgress. Emphasis mine.


Ke$ha vs. the Red $ox vs. the Doctor

I can't even see her butthole from here dude.

I went to the doctor today. *pulls on white velcro high tops* and she poked her finger in my, how do I say this politely, butthole. Then I went to review the Ke$ha show. NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE RIGHT?

If I can be serious for a minute though, you know how you can tell when you're a handsome dude? When your doctor is fucking around with your dirty ass and squeezing your gross balls and she still wants to flirt with you the whole time. What can I say? I got the rectal charisma. 

space pussy, y'all

This contraption was like a sort of cross between a Transformer and an illuminated airport runway vagina.
