I highly recommend the Red Roof Inn located in Little Korea, in no small part thanks to the complimentary “No Goldfish… No Wheatgrass… Gazette,” which is apparently written by a team of schizophrenics held hostage in the hotel basement. Here’s an excerpt from Gazette No. 91, Week of Monday, March 10, 2008:
Aren’t we forgetting [...]
One of My Friend Dave’s many talents is taking photographs. While visiting NYC, he took about a hundred of us standing in tunnels and riding on the subway. I’m still not entirely sure why, but I’ve been assured that it’s “art.”
This is what happens when you tell me and Eloise to “look fierce.”
Tomorrow at 7am, Eloise and I are flying to Boston to perform a week’s worth of shows for My Friend Dave’s cats.
I originally planned to ask who was going to be up for taking us to the airport at 5:30am, but Djerzi has already volunteered. What a friend!
Wow. First, this is another amazing song. Second, do not stop watching this video during the first 40 seconds. It gets… “better”?

There’s a new Jimmy Kaufmann song available for download at The 61.
In order to dampen and extinguish any excitement that might have stirred, let me bore you for a few minutes with a story about how “Just Like Falling in Love” came about. It’s a fine example of how to get rid of two [...]

By “this,” I’m obviously referring to the American Idol Songwriter Contest.
If only the deadline were sometime this summer… I guarantee that we could come up with the biggest crock of shit power ballad the world has ever seen.
Maybe next year.
Whoa, those words were kind of depressing to type. Because almost without thinking [...]

I think Delightful Young Man could use one of her backup dancers. The big bald guy with the orange sweater is just plain hot. Face it.

You know how sometimes you see a headline in a newspaper (or, more commonly, on a news site) that is so absurd you have to click the link to find out if someone is fucking with you? Today that headline was

That’s a joke, right? Out of [...]
I’m kind of excited about both of these things, but don’t have the time or the energy to explain the excitement.
1. We’ve started recording Tough Nuggets. Here’s the tracklist:
“Christmas Over Pearl Harbor”
“Motherfucker Like Marvin Gaye”
“Killing Civilians”
“The Traitor Speaks!”
“The President Speaks!”
“It’s a Beautiful Day in Washington DC”
“Monster in the White House”
So yeah: [...]
A couple years ago, Beth from the Gossip rented a room in the house next door to us. Then she got all famous and moved away.
Now I read in the Mercury a nice little blurb about the New Bloods, a band our neighbor on the other side is in.
I guess we should [...]
