Kutmah and Other Short Cuts

Sooner or later, I’ll set up a Tumblr account to link to everything I write elsewhere. I will also post old videos from Da Youngsta’s to create a bizarre cognitive dissonance. THEY CANNOT BE DA YOUNGSTA’S IF THEY ARE OLD. While a superficial impression may seem like I promote all of my extracurricular writing activities,… Continue reading »

Tunnnel Vision

I don’t normally fuck with Marc Ecko lifestyle publications prone to cheap page click ploys and treatises on the merits of “suede bucks.” However, Cipha Sounds list of the “Top 75 Tunnel Bangers” is essential reading, despite having the most pause-worthy title of any litany this side of Ted Haggard.  A paean to the glory… Continue reading »

However, I’d like to point your attention to the Oliver Wang curated (and predictably excellent)  Soul Summer series, currently running up at SoulSummer.blogspot.com.  As Oliver said: “in the weeks to come, anticipate contributions from everyone from music historians Lauren Onkey… Continue reading »

Chopping Down the Cherry Tree And Other Links

Blogger/musician/jai alai champion/renaissance man, Douglas “Fresh Cherries From Yakima” Martin asked me to contribute a post to his on-going December List-Season Entries. The topic: 10 Things I Hate About Fresh Cherries From Yakima. It includes a discussion of Jordan Knight, the City of Yakima and Boy Bands in general.

Friday I’m in Links

It’s Friday and with it, some links that I’ve been meaning to get to for a while. Good times. Today’s links are presented to you by Robert Smith of the Cure because the kids on South Park once declared that Disintegration is the best album ever. While I don’t necessarily agree, I’m not about to… Continue reading »

Micromixes: Way Better Than Micro Machines (Yet Not as Good as RC Pro-Am)

So I finally got around to compiling a Micromix for the Deerhunter blog. I planned on having it done weeks ago, but in the words of Cheech Marin watching the ghost-Titanic in Ghostbusters 2: better late than never. The mix consists of a bunch of second Golden Age era-cuts, most of which you guys probably… Continue reading »

The Mystery of Shadowblogging

So Kevin Murphy, the esteemed raconteur behind So Much Silence has allowed me to take part in his “I Used to Love H.E.R,” series, mainly because I promised to call him an “esteemed raconteur” in print if he’d let me write an entry. Of course, it was all an elaborate ruse. Blogs don’t count as… Continue reading »

Links Presented By Internet Celebrities

What Rafi and Dallas are doing is invaluable to the youth of America. Knowing how to finagle one’s way into VIP status, spot weed carriers, and the proper time to use the port-a-potties is essential knowledge that everyone should have. Indeed, these two intrepid young men are proving that like ODB and the Wu-Tang, Internets… Continue reading »

Links from Lovitz

If you want the real post for today you’re going to have to head on over to Floodwatch music , where I’m guest blogging for the day. As you might imagine from the photo above, the post in question concerns one of the most forgettable movies ever made: High School High. More specifically, it analyzes… Continue reading »

Links Presented By Jeff Foxworthy

I don’t own a working television, so until last night I’d never actually seen an episode of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, rightfully judging from the title alone that this show might be the nadir of American culture in the year 2007. Seriously, how in god’s name doesn’t everyone come home with at… Continue reading »
