Damn you Woody’s and your stiff drinks! I got a late start today (read: I woke up on the couch with my clothes, shoes, and coat still on) and totally missed the Radiohead presale on Waste. Don’t bother, the site is fucking clogged to shit and the presale is sold the fuck out. [...]

Guilt can be a Bitch. I understand it can make people act in strange and different ways. I forgive them. Sure they can call me an ‘asshole’ and be mad at me. Maybe it was [...]
Artefacts For Space Travel are a young dystopian three piece from South London consisting of Joseph Walsh, Sam Walsh, and Alex Griffiths. The trio plays a loud and energy packed mix of punk and apocalyptic pop. Themes of the group’s songs are centered on death, childhood, the cosmos, romance, and a dystopian future. [...]
Favorite site Fecal Face has some horrific images and a personal account from photojournalist Lyle Owerko moments after the events of 9/11. These are truly intense and saddening photographs of that dreadful day. Here
NYC based photojournalist, Lyle Owerko, was one of the first photographers to the World Trade Centers on September 11th and captured [...]
Being from the midwest, I actually find it nostalgic to indulge myself in a little Chili’s or Outback sometimes. Pure kitsch. You can’t tell me that you didn’t have a good time at the Time’s Square Olive Garden or Red Lobster. There’s something about being so bad, it’s actually good. But [...]
Ever have one of those days where you just wanna slash your wrists? Well this whole week has been a slasher. It all starts when your friend was supposed to meet up and give you a ride somewhere. Of course they didn’t show and have you waiting for 4 hours before you [...]

So, as everyone knows, last Tuesday was Election Day. It was a pretty big day for Philly, with new mayor Michael Nutter being elected and all. If you’ve been following the news, you may have seen that Philadelphia has one of the worst murder rates in the entire country [...]

I’ve spent the last few weeks listening to a lot of music that I’m pretty familiar with. I haven’t been too inclined to listen to anything new, more or less focusing on albums that are comfortable and memorable. I’ve consciously made the decision to listen to some of the records [...]

For the past two weeks, from 8-10PM, I’ve been glued to my TV to experience the captivating series on The War from the documentary master, Ken Burns. Of course when I say The War, I mean WWII, since it was the last world war where many veterans are still [...]
I love this shirt from threadless that plays on Joy Division’s famous album, Unknown Pleasures. It made me think of someone I know right away. I think we can all relate to that message sometimes.
Speaking of heartbreaks, my favorite podcast had a great show a couple weeks back. Check [...]
With Labor Day just around the corner, it’s hard to believe that summer is already coming to an end. It went by with a blink of an eye – almost too fast. People will soon begin to say goodbye to their summer beach and lake-houses and return home; the last of the outdoor [...]
Tomorrow will mark 2 years since Katrina made landfall in New Orleans and devastated the city costing the lives of over 1,500 people. The tragedy has left an indelible mark in our minds of death, crime, heartache, and poor government response for what is now known as the Lost City of New Orleans. [...]
Power Suits, Corruption and Lies - NME article 25 July 1992; Tony Wilson photographed by Kevin Cummins
Soon after writing my post on Friday, I headed to upstate New York for a relaxing summer weekend. I left my worries behind along with most of my means of contact with the outside world: no internet access, [...]
So Nashville has their own version of Misshapes called Fabric (apparently named after the club in London) and a photo site called Poor Little Rich Kids. It’s pretty much a direct copy of the Misshapes’ wall portraits. Nashville is a great town, but something’s a little off here. Not [...]
