Sandwich Manwich! (Pedophile Piece?)
I consider this a work in progress, but the more I look at it I’m thinking that it just might be done. Or, just maybe I’m getting a bit lazy now a days; with school, work and all that jazz.

Jack Burton: Hey Wang, these guys, these Sing Dings...
Wang Chi: The Chang Sings
Jack Burton: ...they have enemies?
Wang Chi: The Wing Kong
Jack Burton: Who wear red turbans?
Wang Chi: [sees they're now surrounded by Wing Kong warriors] Holy SHIT! These guys are animals, Jack!
Jack Burton: Hey, I'm a reasonable guy. But I've just experienced some very unreasonable things.
Jack Burton: I feel pretty good. I'm not... I'm not scared at all. I feel kind of... feel kind of invincible.
Wang Chi: Me, too. I've got a very positive attitude about this.
Jack Burton: Good, me too.
[pause]
Jack Burton: Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?
Jack Burton: You know what Jack Burton always says... what the hell?

{ Music } Cut/Copy-So Cosmic
Australians Cut Copy have a new record called In Ghost Colourscoming out in April ‘08, but thanks to Anthem Magazine and Modular Records, we can hear a good portion of it now in the form of this free hour-long mix. No tracklist available, but Cut Copy threw in a bunch of In Ghost Colours tunes, a classic Fleetwood Mac jam, and a bunch of pretty good shit I’ve never heard, and to...

{ Music } Rhymefest-Man In The Mirror
In advance of Rhymefest’s sophomore album, El Che, the Blue Collar emcee recently released Man In The Mirror, a Michael Jackson dedication. The project takes the form of a collection of songs built around Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 samples. Rhymefest adds showmanship to the mix by creating skits in which he places himself in the studio with MJ during the creation of Thriller. Fest has...
{ Music } The Mountain Goats-Heretic Pride
The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle has written songs about speed-freaks, drug-dealing high school running backs, short-time jail inmates, big rabbits, debt collectors, garden-seed salesmen, bootleggers, alcoholics, and attic-dwellers. In the whole lot, the only honest man Darnielle ever bothered writing about was himself. We Shall All Be Healed, The Sunset Tree, and Get Lonely— his...
Rugged Magazine Illustration
I did this illustration for Rugged Magazine a couple of months back. I’m not too sure if the issue has been released, but I figured I would share it with you. It is an illustration for an article about the new Monster Magnet album that—-I believe—has already been released. Thanks again to Thomas for the spot in the Magazine. If you would like to view a larger version of this...

{ Music } Girls From Hawaii- From Here to There
In 2000, Antoine and Lio started to record their songs on their Dream Machine (an 8 track-recorder). A couple of months later they call their own brothers and two other friends in order to form a band and thus play live. In the meantime some demos to promoters, magazines and record labels and, to their great surprise, answers began to regularly come back to them , their songwriting and stage...

{ Music } The National-Boxer
Among critics and fans, the National’s third album Alligator has become synonymous with the termgrower. Released to minor acclaim early in 2005, the album has since quietly and steadily built up a large, avid listenership. Matt Berninger’s lyrics— initially off-putting and seemingly obtuse in their non sequiturs and stray details— proved unpretentiously poetic over time....
{ Music } Parts and Labor-Mapmaker
With Mapmaker, Parts & Labor display a newfound matur— wait, come back! I know what you’re thinking. “Maturity” means new heights for some, and a slower and duller version of the same for most. For noiseniks like Parts & Labor— a band that wears its hardcore roots on its sleeves— maturity would likely mean the latter. I wouldn’t blame anyone who...
Brian Fantana: [about Veronica] I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up.
[opens cologne cabinet]
Ron Burgundy: Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight.
Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
Ron Burgundy: It's quite pungent.
Brian Fantana: Oh yeah.
Ron Burgundy: It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way.
Brian Fantana: Yep.
Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
Brian Fantana: They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
[cheesy grin]
Ron Burgundy: That doesn't make sense.
Brian Fantana: Well... Let's go see if we can make this little kitty purr.
[snarls]
Veronica Corningstone: My God, what is that smell? Oh.
Brian Fantana: That's the smell of desire my lady.
Veronica Corningstone: God no, it smells like, like a used diaper... filled with... Indian food. Oh, excuse me.
Brian Fantana: You know, desire smells like that to some people
Garth Holliday: What is that? Smells like a turd covered in burnt hair.
News Station Employee: Smells like Bigfoot's dick

{ Music } Louis XIV-Slick Dogs and Ponies
Louis XIV is an American garage rock band from San Diego, California, formed in April 2003 from the band Convoy. Their music features rough, primal rock and evocative lyrics replete with double entendres.
Psst, I don’t know if anyone knows this yet— it may not even be on Wikipedia— but Louis XIV love to fuck, and apparently they often do so. Just listen to their music. Or read...

I’ve had this idea floating around the last couple of days and figured I would give it a try.
I want to compile an audio podcast everyweek for the albums that I listen to throughout the week. I’ll have the first podcast up in a couple of days.
While on the subject I’ve really been enjoying the This American Life podcast with Ira Glass. Check it out when you get the chance....
