Record of Week 07 '10 (Burzum - Belus)
Record of Week 07 ‘10 Burzum - Belus (2010)
The last time Varg Vikernes fucked me was back in 1996. He gave it to me hard with Filosofem. He cuddled me even harder with his synth ambience. When he was convicted of murder, Varg promised me we’d keep in touch. But fuck me he did not. Now, nearly fifteen years later, my asshole is once again gaping like a black hole: sucking that Burzum dick deep...
Shutter Island (2010)
This post will have spoilers in it.
I went into Shutter Island, confident with spending $12.50 without reading a review because: I’ve heard the book it’s adapted from is awesome and it’s Scorsese. You know the guy, the director guy who’s good at his directing thing. And if the source material is good, described to me as a “total mindfuck,” fuck my mind,...
Jess & I In A Brooklyn Bookstore
I said, “I hid my erection from you the whole time.”
She said, “That’s a disgusting thing to say in public.”
Another she, a stranger, interjected, “I thought it was funny.”

Record of Week 06 ‘10 Best Coast - Something In The Way (2010)
I don’t know about your city, but today Brooklyn’s streets are cold. Snow banks between cars, under cars, and on top of cars. Coffee’s hot, but that brings you to fast, loose stools in that coffee shop’s bathroom. So, like, February is so gross. So, how about some summer escapism? Perfect timing, Best Coast, drop that warm lo-fi...
Open Letter To Chris Gethard (Re: Nissan Road...
I submitted an essay to Chris Gethard for his Nissan Road Trip contest. I think the actual title of the contest might be different, but you get the idea. So here’s the essay in its full glory. Thought it was worth sharing.
Chris Gethard-
Hey, man. It’s Saturday night, 7:26 p.m. I recall your essay deadline is in a day or so, so here goes nothing! The prompt (goal) was to convince you...

Record of Week 04 ‘10 Scapegoat - Winter Tour Cassette (2010)
In a matter of three hundred thirty seconds, Scapegoat will blowout your speakers with destruction and utter fucking contempt. That’s five and a half minutes of new material, followed by an Anti-Cimex cover and a live California set from the summer of 2007.
Scapegoat’s previous release, a 7”, was cavity crushing power violence via...

Record of Week 03 ‘10 Virgin Witch - Virgin Witch 7” (2010)
Members of Pulling Teeth (East Coast) and Skin Like Iron (West Coast) join forces to release something so evil that everything between the Pacific and Atlantic will be drenched in black nothingness. This release, on the preferred vinyl format, is limited to 666 copies. One side has two tracks engraved in the grooves, the other side: a...

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - The Road - Original Film Score (2010)
After joining forces for 2005’s The Proposition and 2007’s The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis combine brains once more to score 2009’s The Road. Songs like “The Road” really capture the post-apocalyptic melancholy via piano and strings. As if crying...
Record of Week 01 '10 (Beach House - Teen Dream)
Record of Week 01 ‘10 Beach House - Teen Dream (2010)
An (early, early) early contender for a spot on “Top Ten Records of Twenty Ten”. And that’s because Teen Dream is one of the most memorable dream pop records I’ve ever heard, putting you to sleep in the best way possible. You wouldn’t call a Tempur-Pedric mattress boring, would you? Devotion (their previous 2008 full length) was good, more...

NYT Article On "Fail". →
Yes, “Epic Fail” is referenced, but, no mention of the antonymous “Win”! Fail.
Weed, Balls & Vodka
A couple days ago, around midnight, I entered the 8th Avenue stop for the L-Train to head towards Bushwick. I could hear the train sitting, so I ran down the stairs and entered the closest car. It was full in the sense that nearly every seat was full, but not 6-Train-at-8:45a.m.-sardine-full. As I sat between two guys, the blond wearing a fedora in his early-20s to my left asks me, “Man, you...

IGN's Wrap Up Of SDCC Comic News →
Things I’m excited for: Jason Aaron on Punisher MAX, Geoff Johns on Blackest Night: Flash, Matthew Sturges on JSA All-Stars, and Fables news. Magneto is coming back, but I don’t give a shit, because Marvel brings everybody back. Don’t get me started on Steve Rogers getting “unstuck in time”.

Please do not listen to the nytimes on this.
Anyone who tells you there is danger of robots becoming too smart is an idiot.
I am not secretly a robot.
But seriously, this stuff is bull.
The idea of an “intelligence explosion” in which smart machines would design even more intelligent machines was proposed by the mathematician I. J. Good in 1965. Later, in lectures and...
