I weirdly get the same feeling from Doug Martsch’s solo album “Now You Know” as from Izzy Straddlin’s solo album “Izzy Straddlin and the Ju-Ju Hounds”. They’re very different musically but they...

Maybe the aliens are just really into abnormal psychology. When you realize Fox News is just a work of kayfabe, like pro wrestling, everyone just playing a role, maybe just an exaggeration of...

You know those rigged carnival games where you’re supposed to shoot all the colour out of a star with a bee-bee gun but the only way to actually win is to blow a circle out around the circumfer...

Weekend At Bernie’s 2 is LITERALLY about the dangers of trying to have a beach body. Some day, the workstation based AIs will sass at the newer AIs with the full android bodies for being ungr...

It sounds too pat and simple to say “D&D is long form improv with math” but… D&D is long form improv with math. The theme song to a furry adaptation of Friends would involve the line ...

One generation hated the malls because they tore up the local stores. Our generation hates the superstores and Amazon for tearing up the malls. Time’s a flat circle, everything’s a cycle, I won...

Secretly, LOL never meant Laughing Out Loud. It always meant Living On-Line. I love how the little snakey dude believes he’s significant enough for anyone to even consider someone treading on...

She converted to the Norse faith late in life but converted with zeal, a real bjorn-again. Baby Yoda, do do, do not, do do, do not sung to Beck’s “pay no mind” : tonight the sector is full ...

A tender ballet about a young charismatic rock star Billy Corrigan blossoming into a weird paranoid wrestling promoter and it’s called ZWAN LAKE. I have no idea why anyone would want to see M...

Consider the curious case of a planet called in its various tongues “Zemlja” “Di’qiu” or “Earth” which exo-ethnographers dubbed “Hospice Sol-Three.” It’s not rare to discover a planet whose senti...

When people like Kanye West “speak for God” they are saying they believe they are God, just with a thin veil of politeness over their delusion. Dude should be under intense psychiatric care, no...

Some people, when a bonfire starts to go out, will then proceed to stand around and bitch in the cold, demanding someone else make another. I am more the kind to instead bring a votive candle t...

The children of Abraham have it wrong, I fear, history is not a straight line toward one big glorious ideological explosion. It’s the Norse who had it right, all we can do is hold off Ragnarok ...

I see your signal right up there in the sky, you say you’re vengeance and you say you’re the night, go punch a clown, go punch a clown, I’ll tell you once more before you’re knee deep in gore, ...

I’m not saying that you have to mash up Black Magic Woman and Sober, I’m just saying that you should. Holy communion is mass-produced. The incompetent herpetologist couldn’t tell an asp fro...

I feel like dingos just need a rebranding. No one would be afraid of a “g’day mutt”. On top of all the other problems with the soft rock song “Centerfold”, like, what does he think he’s “savi...

You’ll know they’ve started running out of nostalgic properties to re-make when they try starting the Punky Brewster Animated Cinematic Universe with PUNKY BREWSTER AND GLOMER: GLOMING THE CUBE...

Yeah, I was singing Rocky Mountain High about Ricky Martin. Sure. Why not. There is a world of difference between being proud of yourself despite your troubles and being proud of being messed...

Tightrope walkers need to maintain work-life balance most of all. Ours is probably the only other universe, other than the HOME IMPROVEMENT universe itself, where Americans would be dumb enou...

An argument in a sauna can quickly escalate into heated debate. If the pope swapped out the Swiss Guard for a bunch of warrior nuns to ensure his safety, would they be an order of protection?...

You have no idea how many times I thought they were saying Donkey Kong in the song WINDS OF CHANGE before I realized they said Gorky Park. If I were on a campaign bus through Iowa, I would de...

All I know about “modern” country is that their names could all be the names of like mid-tier WWF wrestlers. I’m pretty sure there’s some dude out there named Luke Bryan but I’ve no idea if he’...
