Buy: Juggalo Miracles

That, in itself, is a miracle, don’t you think? No? I have to sell you on this?  Okay.

And I quote “Magic everywhere in this bitch”
And I quote again: “Fuckin Magnets, How Do They Work?”
They are wearing clown make-up… and the one guy is a fatty! Hilarious
ICP fans (like this guy)
This:

Got something to add? Agree/disagree? [...]

Buy: Garanimals

Whether it was by the hand of irony, post-irony or of ‘The New Sincerity,’ the term ‘guilty pleasure’ has been stripped of much of its meaning recently, to the extent that I can’t remember the last time I heard it used correctly. Too often will people use it when they really mean ‘lame thing I [...]

Don’t Buy: The Law of Unintended Pop Cultural Consequences

Or, “How A Cliché Changes Its Usage, In Five Easy Steps”
I: Status Quo
November 4, 2005:
What’s more important: talent, coaching, or swagger? These quotes may help you decide. Each tells us something important about that magical gait.
[...] FOX’s Adam Schein, on the Cowboys’ rout of the Eagles a month ago: “Finally, swagger and aggressiveness from the [...]

Don’t Buy: Children Pop Star Imitations

I don’t like children. I like them even less when they do things for attention and admiration. And when they perform in costumes to adult-themed songs, just forget about it.
Enjoy. Or not.

Parents? Where are you?

Buy: Have One On Me, Joanna Newsom

I first realized I liked Joanna Newsom when I listened to “Colleen” and thought it sounded a lot like Kate Bush; I first realized I loved Joanna Newsom when I looked up the lyrics to “Colleen” and discovered it was about a woman in Victorian England coming to grips with the fact that she used [...]

Buy: Sick Boy Syndrome

I owe Jay Leno an apology. For much of my life I’ve thought of him as a complacent old hack on the wrong side of history, with nothing better to do than spent his time telling humorless and mean-spirited jokes to an audience that thinks predictability breeds hilarity. I was making the cardinal sin of [...]

Don’t Buy: Kanye Memes

I’ve been very busy lately, so I’ve had no choice but to have today’s post ghostwritten by a Foppish Victorian Dandy with a prejudice against gypsies. My apologies for the oversight.
Heavens! The events of recent days have proven to me most distressful! Lest you be IGNORANT, I shall tell the tale:
A young Gibson girl of [...]

Buy: Playing The Beatles Backwards

It was a nice surprise that this week turned out to be the week of Beatlestravaganza, when everyone took a break from talking about things we disagree on (mostly health care with fantasy football a close second) to talk about one thing we all agree on (The Beatles.)
But luckily, even with the canonical Best Band [...]

Don’t Buy: Pete Yorn - Back and Fourth

I can’t help fighting the idea that Pete Yorn trying to be M. Ward.
His newest disc, Back and Fourth reeks of M. Ward similarities, down to the scruffy voice and Saddle Creek sound, even to the point of getting producer Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes fame to hop on board. Add this to the fact [...]

Buy: Point Break

Sorry, for the short posts. Really busy! Enjoy this!
This was made for mean magazine. Called cine-mashes features a bunch of different “mashes” with classics.
It might be the best parody of point break I’ve ever seen. Features some of Human Giant (Ansari and Huebel) and some of Reno 911 (Grant and Lennon). Gotta love Huebel’s Busey!
Only [...]
