Prologue:
Peter Sellers died on July 24th 1980.
* * *
I met Pete Sellers last week. His hair, what was left of it, was unkempt. Strands darted in every direction, but the majority lunged forward trying to jump ship. He was a lot thinner than I remembered from the movies. His clavicles, shoulders and neck formed a [...]

das Racist.

Flexitarian, Pescatarian, Vegitarian, Lacto-Ovo-tarian, Vegan, Freegan, Fruitarianism, Su vegetarianism, Raw veganism, Pollotarianism, Locavorianism and flavor slave. These constitute just a few of the food consumption orientations which populate the memeosphere. To all of these there is much to be written, but for the sake of cogency let it suffice to say that people should think [...]

His face was made of bark that was deeply cracked by seasons of frost. It was wide, rounded and terse. Behind him the man dragged a full tree, its pine needles thinning as they dragged through the deep snow. The trees (the one’s that were still standing) sparsley dotted the perfectly sloping hill. He was [...]

Theft.

(1) Quest For Fire titled, curiously enough, “Quest for Fire.”  The Toronto band consists of four ten-year veterans of the music scene (two of them were in The Deadly Snakes), who have come together to concentrate exclusive on long-form heavy psychedelics.  This isn’t just a tab, it’s a whole blotter sheet.  Each song is carefully [...]

Hear ye, hear ye!!

The following is a guest post by Sir Edmund Tosspot Chatterly.

Hear ye, hear ye!!

Prithee, dearest readers, lend me thyeyes.  Allow my quivering quill to prance upon these pixilated pages, performing pirouettes upon parchment, shedding a wondrous wake of inky discharge.  Whatever whims could lead my pen’s fervent dance, you merrily ask?  By the [...]

New Fever Ray Video, When I Grow Up

I could say lots of things about the new video for Fever Ray’s When I Grow Up…

Pouring Sediment

Last Saturday while strolling through Harvard Square with my girlfriend a man peddling his mix tape propositioned me to buy said tape. He was small in stature, wore bug-eyed sunglasses and sported a leather jacket, which featured the logo of every NHL team. I asked if he had a myspace, he said he did. I [...]

Colbert Gets Remixed, ODB Gets Written Up

Colbert Does Not Not Love Remixes
James and I are big fans of Lawrence Lessig. He is on the forefront of working out how law, specifically copyright, and technological advances can live in harmony. It doesn’t hurt that he’s all for fair use and restructuring copyright law, especially since James has been tagged by the RIAA.

Simon Says No! Some Of The Time

I have a few magical powers. For example, I have the ability to make kids do whatever I want some of the time. Don’t believe me? Here’s an example.
