Why I Think We’ll Be Big In Japan

The bestiaility restaurant.

On the other hand, the Japanese contiune to make it very, very difficult to produce high-quality absurdist satire.

This is HORSESHIT

There is only one vampire detective with a soul.

What the hell is this crap?

Like I Didn’t Have Enough To Do This Weekend

The fine folks over at Chiasmus Press are having a Fight Song Contest. They want a sound that’s “somewhere between Buddy Holly and Bikini Kill, with healthy doses of Miles Davis, Tony Bennett and Diamanda Galas.” We TOTALLY fit that bill.
Time to get to work.

The Youth of Tomorrow… TODAY!

Our first blog review, complete with a picture that fully captures the joy we bring into a child’s life…

Reminder: They Are Canadian

Their new promotional video/scam proves it.
 
Why are they so awesome?

Changes we need to make (after watching the New Pornographers)

First thing is that we all need to grow a lot more hair. LOTS more. Those peeps have some hair!
Second thing is that we need to get a Dan Bejar. Man, he’s like a cross between Brad, Andy Kaufman and Tim Burton. So awesome.
Third thing……….we just need to be better. If we ever get to [...]

Why are the New Pornographers the best band ever?

Even though I hate going to shows, and even though the sound system at the Crystal Ballroom is a piece of shit, and even though I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow (today), they could’ve played for two or three more hours and I would’ve enjoyed every minute of it.
Why? For the love [...]

An open letter to our neighbors behind us and one over

I realize that you are some sort of retarded hillbilly ex-frat boy which explains a lot of your behavior. It must also be the reason that you think it is totally acceptable to break furniture in your backyard while listening to Jimmy Buffet all the while whooping and hollering only stopping to sing along with [...]

I think I want to get a Border Collie if I get a dog. I’ve heard, from numerous sources - none of them reliable, that they are considered the smartest breed of dogs.
If I want there to be any possibility that my dog would turn to me while sitting on the couch and says something [...]

Man, everyone is asking me for free copies of the album. I love my friends and I want to give stuff away in the spirit of fun and free exchange of good times, but, seeing as how the money came out of our pockets and not some record company’s,  I have to at least get [...]

It’s Mrs. Fill’s Birthday!

May you all have “Hold on Siobahn” stuck in your head all day.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Fill!!!!!!!

The Music Model of the Present

Disbursement of the Roboctopus cds is well underway. I believe the only folks who need their complimentary copies at this point are My Friend Dave and Official A–they’re on their way, dammit!
As much as I want to believe that cds are essentially wasteful and irrelevant and that the digital future of music should be [...]

Oh yes, Oh yes, Oh yes!

Thanks to the Mercury blog I am now aware of the upcoming, soon-to-be-released movie, Southland Tales. It’s from the same director as Donnie Darko so right off the bat we know Infinite Monkey already hates it. For the rest of us though it just gets better. First of all SMG is in it and since [...]

Roboctopus is Here

Over the next couple days, some of you can expect a knock on your door. I’ll have more to say when it’s not hot and I’m not tired as hell.

Summer Vacation Day 7

This morning I woke up, ready to watch some more Buffy. I went and took my place on the couch with a yummy cinnamon roll. I have two remotes. One is for the TV. One is for the DVD player. The two remotes are sitting on the coffee table in front of me, inches away [...]

Summer Vacation Day 4 part 2

These country videos are almost as addictive as Buffy.

Did YOU know Willie Nelson and Toby Keith were a FATHER/SON CRIME FIGHTING TEAM?!

Summer Vacation Day 4 part 1

Is this why Jimmy wants to quit at 35?

Summer vacation day 3

That’s right. It’s the start of my summer vacation this week. No summer school. No plays. Not very much TASO work. Which means i have just enough time to sit around all day and watch dvds.
I’ve completed the third season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That means on Monday i sat and watched it from [...]

The Braindead Megaphone

Is the name of George Saunders’s new book. Time to part with more money, I guess.
Oh, and he’s also blogging at Powell’s this week!

Well, shoot

I was hoping to write a Barnstock update, but I was also hoping to include some video footage… and I didn’t get around to it today. And I most likely won’t get around to it tomorrow.
Anyway, I was just informed by the fine people at TuneCore that the SUPER SPECIAL ULTRAMAGNETIC LIMITED [...]
