Decision 2008: Playlist wars
Are you like many a Dem and still deciding between Hillary and Barack? LA Weekly has published each candidates’ playlists (including those of yesterday’s losers Rudy/Edwards). Now, rather than vote for candidates based on policies (or whatever criteria you’re using), you can judge them based on the way I evaluate most people in my life: their music choices. There’s Hillary,...

It's just art imitating life
Alison Jackson creates films, photographic images and sculptures about our fixation with fame and celebrity culture. These Mimeses use look-a-likes of celebrities and public figures to create a photographic or filmic image, which challenges the observers’ perception of reality by creating a false reality. Only on second or third glance does the viewer question the truth of what they are...

Perfection from Idolator.com’s In the Mix: My other on-screen musical epiphany of 2007 was Cate Blanchett in Todd Haynes’ I’m Not There—especially when she lip-syncs to Stephen Malkmus (backed by Tom Verlaine, Lee Renaldo, and Smokey Hormel on silvery, needling guitars) singing “Ballad of a Thin Man.” Maybe Dylan’s most withering lyrics apart from...

When in Africa, pull the plug first
A news piece riddled with some confusing, undereducated value judgments, not penned by a FOX News writer: The clincher to this Switched.com piece — about how a young man in Ghana was electrocuted when he went to pick up his ringing, plugged-in cell phone — is the last line. “So if you live in New York, you can probably answer your phone while its charging consequence-free. If...

“I hope everybody is doing well. Anybody participate in State of The Union drinking games last night? I hope nobody chose the keyword Economy. That would have been rough!” The best press releases are always about something else.

Dude penned my anthem. For MC Chris, the wonders of robitussin include, but are not limited to, the following sensations: a room spinning like “cheese,” an intern with a yeast infection, and a buzz “bigger than a beehive.” Moreover, the following lines are the real gems: “I’m tripping like Jesus in the desert when he fasted / Like it’s the night before we...
The trouble with my cough syrup
The only thing I hate more than being sick is Belle & Sebastian, so imagine my dismay when I ponied myself two avenues away to buy Duane Reade cough syrup, ponied myself back two avenues to my cubicle to drink the Tussin, and then discovered the bottle — which, upon purchase, was perfectly sealed in its perfect box — had been totally tampered with. I wondered to a coworker what...

Clap Clap!
I am compiling a list of songs with the double clap. So far: Hall & Oates - “Private Eye” The Format - “The First Single (Cause a Scene)” OK Go - “You’re So Damn Hot” The Clash - “Rock the Casbah” The Stooges - “No Fun” The Beatles - “Eight Days a Week” The Cure - “Close to Me” Bar-Kays - “Shake Your Rump to the Funk” Super Furry Animals - “Receptacle for the Respectable” If you have more,...

Yeah, girl.
"We all agreed not to have the picnic this year!"
This movie is brilliant, capped with a stellar Burt Reynolds cameo
'Pacific Blue Ocean' to be reissued!
Seriously, this is big. It’s impossible to find (especially on vinyl) and it’s brilliant. (Billboard.com)
And she bleats
Watch her now
Play in Hillary's court, go to hell
It’s not even March and there’s already this madness. I remember Rick Majerus best from his days coaching at University of Utah — dude fights the good fight in the most resistent of states.

Coachella: Part III
With a couple WTF? artists slated for/headlining Coachella, I can’t help but wonder why Goldenoice didn’t recruit these guys.
Coachella: Part II
Also: W.E. A.R.E. J.U.S.T.I.C.E.
Coachella: Now with more boners
At least for this set. Other predictions: Black Lips pee on some chickens. Black-clad the Horrors succumb to heat exhaustian *after* batting someone with a mike stand. Black Kids teach your boyfriend how to dance. Black Mountain declare Indio the new Canada. Oh, and Jack Johnson wears board shorts. Yay: Spiritualized. The Verve. PORTISHEAD.
