Stop, Drop, and Roll

It smells nice at first, nostalgic even.  Burning wood and charcoal embers seem almost appropriate in October.  It is a month of grey, orange, and black.  A month of dry grass blowing in the wind.  A month of pumpkin faces with fire in their eyes.  After a quick workout I called up my buddy Igor.  He had been laying fallow since the cancellation of his college courses for two straight days.  “Closed because of fire” is not an uncommon sight... Read More

(Fart Noises)

I saw a woman in the gym tonight wearing a breathing mask while she was running on the treadmill. Why are people so fucking lame? Lady, you are an IDIOT! On a side note, I discovered something a while ago – AND I already posted it up here, but for whatever reason I’m doing it again…. like an idiot: Listen to both of these back to back and you decide…?! Eddie Cochran – C’mon Everybody (released in 1959) The Ramones... Read More

Temptation

What would you do? What would you do if somebody offered you 100,000 dollars just to do a job that you promised yourself you would never do again? Not only that but an obscene salary for the job itself..? Is this selling out? Is this a compromise of your principles? Is this wrong? I feel like Achilles before the Trojan war. His mother told him true, if he stays then she forsaw a wonderful happy life – if he goes, he will become a legend, but... Read More

Enter Chuck Bravedy. Let me introduce you to Chuck “Bravedy” a former shitbag SEAL who has now published his bullshit bible-beater ideas into a book.  It would be bad enough that this... Read More

Private Dick

Got a call from Brad the other day, he just got back from a trip to Detroit and had a totally kickass adventure into the once glorious yet fleeting visage of rock-n-roll history the Grande Ballroom. Check out his writeup right here. So what the fuck else is going on. Gutters and strikes mostly. I’m working as a goddamn private investigator these days. Sounds like bullshit, and I almost wish it was, but it ain’t. Its real. I’m a... Read More

The Grande Ballroom – by Brad I.

Our dear friend and bassist extraordinaire Dave decided to show us west coast people how they do weddings in the original rock city by taking the party back to his hometown of Detroit. A swirl of different concepts rushed into my head at the prospect of this. Along with Detroit’s iconic Woodward Blvd, where late 60s big block monsters tore up the pavement back when gas was 30 cents a gallon, I also remembered that this was the home of the Grande... Read More

40 Mike Mike

I have been TOTALLY slacking on this site for like 3 weeks. Well, long story short I was balls deep in some hardcore personal drama. I had to give myself a gay little pep talk to get this shit done right now, but I’m glad that I’m finally sitting down to update this meat. So. I have a funny collection of media to share. An old buddy of mine called me up at 6am with a wild voice message that simply needed a wider audience than my stupid... Read More
