False start one: Ever since the fiddle and the spoon went over the moon, the elements of rock & roll have been joined at the hip like their parents country & western and rhythm & blues and their bastard step-children drum & bass and bleep & bloop…
False start two: We didn’t start the fire, it [...]

Haven’t you been waiting for someone to put the smack-down on Thomas Friedman’s annoyingly simplistic (and lucrative) version of globalisation? Me too.

Recommended: Riding a bike at lightspeed at night.
Not recommended: Riding a bike at lightspeed at night in the wrong direction past a cabaret theatre just as the audience is leaving. No animals were harmed in the making of this tangle-up.
I still wanna say hi to my sister Rebecca (Rebar) for having a 22th b-day on [...]

When it pours the rain after a week of straight up blazing sun, the city of fallen angels falls into auto-pilot, a sort of joyful sorrow that I cannot even begin to explain. Tanned teenagers get magically replaced by drunkards who yell at their dogs to cross the street already for crying out loud. Bombs [...]

The question is not should I buy the new Harry Potter book. It’s what format should I download, pdf or audio?

By the way, the universe is basically a friendly place, turns out.
In the not-friendly category goes and not to beat a dead horse, but: Some items were in fact taken from my house last week, which I just noticed when I was trying to take a photo. Namely, a laptop, a digital camera and an [...]

I think I’m done with the sarcasm now. It’s biting back. Reality is crazy enough. Out.
Wait, I (finally) posted that ill-ass bassline tune down at Vice & Prez below. It’ll be good for your weekend.
OK, well here are some quotes from some people (instead of your’s truly’s fevered ego):
People don’t care how much you know, [...]

My brother Micah P in the Chi T points out that if they broke into my house and didn’t take anything, then they must have left something… like a microphone or a camera. Thanks Micah. Don’t forget to remind me to buy toothbrushes to comb every square cm of my flat.

Since time immortal man has asked himself, “What do you call killing a zombie if a zombie by definition is already dead?” May I propose that it be called ‘to dezombify’ as in ‘dezombification’ (?) Wait, that would actually mean to revive someone from zombification, right? But that’s not actually possible. Whatever.
Also I just watched [...]

Someone broke into my house while I was away this afternoon. A few drawers were ruffled through and some containers were strewn across the floor, but nothing is missing as far as I can tell. They won’t be back, I’m guessing, if they inferred anything from the samurai sword on the wall. It’s a strange [...]

Vice, the Eminem of magazines and international Eurotrash culture, via Brooklyn via Montreal (Paulina, get at me), is setting up in Berlin. Here’s a quote/unquote irreverant interview with the new Vice Germany: Fear and Loathing in Berlin.
I just saw the Dave Chappelle Show for the first time. It’s even better than I thought it’d [...]

Damn. What a friggin’ day. It’s hard to imagine how a city can be so up one day and so down the next–London I mean. Public transportation is suddenly on high alert all over the world, even here in Germany, not exactly the top of the terrorist list. I’m not gonna say the future looks [...]

Hey, did anyone notice what day it is? Well, I did. Which is weird because Wednesday is a totally abstract formulation not connected to a natural event like sunrise, moon phases or planetary rotation. It’s all in our collective heads.
Over-caffeinated and under-nourished. 13en
As usual, more later.

Sam (what up) points out that Google Maps started showing everywhere instead of just the US and UK. Here’s my house (positioned in the exact middle of the pic).

Happy Independence Day, America!
USA! USA! USA!

Beck is a scientologist too. (I did some research. It’s a pretty wacky [...]

What up Starbucks trainees?
I’m postin’ at the office because I can’ t complete tomorrow’s issue any other way. It’s my own damn fault, so I’m not playin’ the blame game. Plus, I’m in the flow something fierce and I had a fine, fine park/picnic rendezvous already today. Anywell, I’ll post up before I hit the [...]
