The Harvesting Effect

- In loving memory of Eric S. - “The cosmic vacuum of the desert was a perfect place to program young minds.” – Charles Manson Saturday.  As day turned into evening I was battling back the hangover with more alcohol.  Too exhausted to even leave the couch, my X-Box fried beyond repair, I was watching movies on my laptop.  I had flashbacks to Iraq – sitting in the sweltering heat, watching my life ooze out of my body as I stared... Read More

Kulturkampf (North Park is Dead)

My X-Box 360 got a red ring of death last night.  I found a gray hair this morning while applying my Rogaine… and North Park is dead! It was a strange day.  I woke up hungover.  My brain felt like it was wrapped in gauze, working its way through a slow burn.  My head felt obtuse, my hands clumsy.  I grabbed my laundry and headed for the Laundromat.  Powerlines hang over the city like a web.  The clunk of my coins into the machine was... Read More

Your Music Sucks! (and so do you)

What the hell is going on with music these days? I don’t know if it’s because this is a generation of whiny little emo bitches or if the fact that live studio recordings are completely extinct but music today fucking sucks. Songs are just a collection of a thousand sound-bites, probably unable to be played as they are recorded by the very bands that release the songs.  Audio tracks are compressed, equalized, and squeezed into a limited range... Read More

G.G. Allin

Born Jesus Christ Allin, G.G. Allin was to some the ultimate symbol of rock & roll rebellion, taking it to extremes that no one else was dangerous enough to explore. To others he was a lunatic whose attempts to shock and disgust were too ham-fisted to be taken seriously. Wherever the truth lay, there can be no doubt that Allin was the most spectacular degenerate in rock & roll history. Just to give GG the best possible representation I’m... Read More

The Big Disconnect – by Brad I.

I’ve been doing a fair amount of post-collegiate soul searching lately. Looking at my place in the world and wondering where my efforts would be most effectively applied. Seems pretty straight forward, but unforuntately, it isn’t. Things are pulling from all directions now. We don’t have a youth movement, our wars are manufactured (and thus, pretty tough to get behind on a personal level) and our counterculture is bought and sold for $9.95 with... Read More
