Tegan and Sara - “The Con”


“financial limitations ultimately contributed to its incapacitated state”

I am still in mourning over
The Tube.
Les Garland’s independent project, The Tube, was a sight to behold, and one of my favorite things about LA (for some reason I never found it in NYC, although I’m told it was here). I can’t tell you how many nights Ray and I sat glued to The Tube, […]

Something about trees falling and one armed claps

I stay up late and like low light. The insulation between the door and the body of our GE fridge is thin - therefore it glows.  I can tell you unequivocally, yes. The refrigerator light is on when the door isn’t open.

The Police phase is a rite of passage*, so be sure to peep Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out in rotation this month on Showtime Next. The roc-doc got two stars - hmm, is that one for Sting, one for Stewart, none for Andy? It’s a flat film no doubt, but I have a fetish […]

My avenue is littered with gig vans and band aids this week as CMJ hits a fever pitch. Each vehicle is bustling and bursting with smoke, […]

If your right hand is causing you pain, cut it off, cut it off

A post for Alfred because of the intergalactic robot creatures and the synth, but really, who doesn’t love a new Bloc Party video? I’m doing the goth dance as I watch “Flux.”

Though we have not hit the ground doesn’t mean we’re not still falling
