We’re just going to have to get over it. Just like Shadow will never make another Endtroducing, RJD2′s never going to make another Deadringer. I know, I know. We were all sorta’ hoping that The Third Hand was just a Metal Machine-type aberration, but judging from the vibe I got in an interview I did… Continue reading »

The ’80s seem almost archaic in the instant-orgasm Internet age, where everyone has a Netflix account to watch Bulgarian independent DVDs and iPods with enough horse-power to feed a Nepalese family of four for four years. But back in those black and white and fluorescent days when VHS rental shops and frozen yogurt were all… Continue reading »
By Chuck Fitzpatrick When I woke up up this morning, I was struck by the horrible realization that this is the first morning of the rest of my life without the King of Queens. Sure, I knew the day would eventually come, but I guess in the back of my mind I never believed that… Continue reading »
After a weekend fact-finding mission in the dirty South, Ian Cohen has returned. Though he was unable to discover whether or not it really is going down in the trap, he was able to discover that Young Joc really really sucks. Guitar Center isn’t a place I go very often, but when I do, I… Continue reading »
This week is Rock Honors Week here in Los Angeles, with a bevy (yes, a bevy) of events scheduled, including most interestingly, Rock N’ Roll bingo with Wayne Kramer of the MC5. No word on whether or not he will be kicking out any jams, senior citizen style. The hullabaloo is essentially one big lead-up… Continue reading »
As promised in yesterday’s post, expect analysis in the next few days of what rappers came up big in the Internet straw poll and who got what Erick Sermon would charitably describe as “the bozack.” In the first installment, I present the 10 Greatest Rappers to not have an album make the Top 25 List… Continue reading »
What you’ve been waiting for… Among the more popular business ideas of recent times has been James Surowiecki’s Wisdom of Crowds ( which also comes in book form). The one-line description is that so long as information is shared across a broad spectrum of people, large groups make better decisions than more isolated elites. Faith… Continue reading »
Why are this week’s links presented by Dr. Strangelove? Well, I’m not sure Mein Fuhrer, I mean Mr. President. However, I’m currently listening to “Dr. Strangelove” from the new Blonde Redhead record and I recently purchased the special edition of Dr. Strangelove last weekend (for $9.99 at Von’s…go figure). And honestly, how are you going… Continue reading »
I’ll be the first one to admit that I know very little about techno. Granted, there was a brief period at the end of high school where I became briefly infatuated with rave/electronic music. I attribute this mainly to a graduation trip to Europe coupled with too much booze and recreational drug use. This tumultuous… Continue reading »

As Passion of the Weiss Chief Hippie Correspondent, Ace Cowboy points out at his Hidden Track hempfest, today is the 30th anniversary of the Grateful Dead’s 5/08/77 show at Cornell University, often regarded by Deadheads as the best show in the band’s 30 year existence.
