Last night at Rum and Erwin’s place we were watching TFC (The Filipino Channel) and witnessed a poor 12 year-old Filipino girl sing “My Humps” on the variety show, Wowowee. Anyone who doesn’t think American pop culture is a Cancer upon the world, needs to seriously reasses their value system. My only comfort is [...]
Since he’s been on my mind, lately, I’ve been listening to some James Jamerson recordings. A particular song by Stevie Wonder, ironically titled “Everytime I See You I Go Wild,” has had my repeat button lodged in the on position.

Since when does Superman look like the singer from All-American Rejects?

So tonight, a handful Whiskerino contestants from all over the country will be assembling at Relative Theory Records in Norfolk, VA for an art show being held by Jeremy Okai Davis. Jeremy Davis is also an incredible artist and super happy fellow. Come checkit-checkit out! Additionally, if you were entertained by Herr Neas’ wrestling-inspired blackface, [...]
So today my 667mHz Powerbook Titanium finally shit the bed. It’s been used and abused by me for about 3 or 4 years, and even though it has sustained a few spills and thrills it has managed to hold itself together (mostly). Today I was attempting to rip the new Asobi Seksu CD (which is [...]
