The best thing I ever read was from Bob Zmuda’s tell-all book about Andy Kaufman. At one point, Zmuda was the personal assistant to this batshit insane script doctor in NY that he referred to in the book as Mr. X. The guy would go all over town and fuck with people in all kinds of ways and keep tape recorders rolling as well as a briefcase full of money to bribe people...

How Internet Porn is Changing Teen Sex →
brothers Travis and Cody, typical 21-year-old college students in Florida who tell me there’s one criterion at the top of their list when it comes to picking a fuck buddy. “Pubic hair is disgusting,” Travis says. “Girls should keep their vaginas porn-star trim.” Cody describes his first real-life ejaculate-to-the-face finale like this: “It was the happiest...

ABC is reporting that soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan have been using rifle scopes that bear abbreviated references to Bible verses, including lines like “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” That verse is rendered on tiny letters on the the scopes,...
These Arms Are Snakes broke up.
“It’s with a heavy heart we tell you that These Arms Are Snakes is no more. It’s been a great run and we’d like to send out a very hearty “Thank You” to everyone that we’ve worked with or anyone that we’ve toured with; anyone that lent us a floor, towed our van and/or trailer, lent a van, given us a listen, downloaded our records prior to their...

An Entomologist’s Last Love Letter by Jared Singer (Listen Here) dear samantha i’m sorry we have to get a divorce i know that seems like an odd way to start a love letter but let me explain: it’s not you it sure as hell isn’t me it’s just human beings don’t love as well as insects do i love you.. far too much to let what we have be ruined by...
It’s easy to get carried away when you finally get to hear an album you’ve been waiting on for literally years. You build up the hype in your head for so long that invariably you get let down by the final product and then you spiral into a whirlwind of disappointment. Well, maybe not that far, but you get the drift. Thankfully, that isn’t the case with A Badly Broken Code. In...

reason a million i'm glad to be back in Montana
Dessa’s album was here waiting for me.

At a Sage Francis gig in ‘03, Dessa opened the show with a single poem. P.O.S. from Doomtree was in the crowd. Awestruck, he sought her out after the show, and within months she was recording her first solo track, “Hawks and Herons,” at the crew’s south Minneapolis manse, Doom Manor.
Thank you, David Hansen for all this Dessa.
what kind of obsessive Doomtree fan would i...

WatchDessa - Poor Atlas
this is a video of a song from Dessa’s upcoming album, it’s just a short acapella piece but it’s pretty great. tonight is the webcast of her rehearsal for the album release show available for those who preordered the album, i’m included in that group but i haven’t gotten information about how i’m supposed to watch it yet, so fingers crossed...

the quadratic formula is: the opposite of A plus or minus the square root of B squared minus 4AC all divided by 2A (set to the tune of happy birthday.) thanks grade school! (note: i have no idea how to use the quadratic formula.)

Ke$ha is:
the retroactive soundtrack to girls gone wild
the musical embodiment of the “she was asking for it” defense for date rape
only serving as ammo for people who think women can’t make good music
still wearing Native headdresses as fashion

50 Things we know now that we didn't know this... →
1. Domestic pigs can quickly learn how mirrors work and use them to find food.
2. Grumpy people think more clearly because negative moods trigger more attentive, careful thinking.
4. Analysis of Greenland ice samples shows Europe froze solid in less than 12 months 12,800 years ago, partly due to a slowdown of the Gulf Stream. Once triggered, the cold persisted for 1,300 years.
5. One mutated...

The world’s oceans are being transformed, and not for the better.
Around the world, unappetizing creatures are proliferating in the absence of big fish. Carpets of primitive sea squirts now cover continental shelves. The filter-feeding fish that once cleaned the oceans are being caught and ground into fertilizer, causing giant abundances of toxic plankton. Flotillas of jellyfish, some 10 miles...
