>:O Lists that purport to comprehensively rank uber-subjective and intangible concepts like “funniest.” Lists that purport to comprehensively rank uber-subjective and intangible concepts like “influential.” People complimenting other people on their tweets. It’s not a […]
I honestly don’t know how I feel about this.
In case you don’t know, last weekend at Coachella, they dragged the corpse of Tupac onto the stage and fucked it in front of everybody. Some have said that the corpse fucking was an amazing effect and left the crowd filled with awe and wonder. Others […]
Davy Jones has died from a heart attack. He was 66.
One of my first obsessions with any television show was “The Monkees.” I think it was either VH1 or MTV (or both) that showed them incessantly at one point in […]

I was exposed to Bird through a review of 2009’s “Noble Beast,” which was to that point his […]

Then, earlier this afternoon, someone posted a rap video on […]
