"i'm excited to see another rob zombie movie!"

Hello internet. Have I told you how awesome Rob Zombie's "The Devil's Rejects" is? Because it's really goddamn awesome. For me, it might be the finest achievement in American cinema this year, Brokeback Mountain's untintentionally hilarious saga of gay cowboys eating pudding notwithstanding. I don't know about you, but when I think Rob Zombie, I do not think quality. I think about being subjected to repeated blasts of "More Human than Human"...

a monster gets to put a thing on, and he gets to kill people. Pay that guy the most money!

Super in-depth interview (part 1) with Patton Oswalt, who completely resurrected my faith in stand-up comedy as viable beyond the small recorded legacies: I remember quitting a law firm I was working at because we were all in a room, and we were indexing testimony from a trial, and I had the radio on to 99.1, WHFS in Baltimore, which was like their little indie rock station, and all the other guys...

american edit

So, the kids, they ask me a lot, "Hey, what's a really good mash-up that's currently floating around on the internet but has nothing to do with Jay Z or the Kleptones?" Because, well, I'm just the person you come to with questions like that. And here is my answer. Specifically tracks 2 and 3, because those are the ones that I've repeated a few times. Don't get me wrong, I don't...

the major lift, the minor fall

So, I must admit to acquiring a rather swelled head through the progress of Friday night to Saturday morning. I was told what a great show it was and how good my photographs were (but then who really talks shit in a gallery? I usually save my snark for outside, too) so often that I came to believe it. Yes, I am a brilliant man. After a day of gallery duty, bathing...

over, but still open

Here I sit in the Taxidermy Gallery, keeping the public face wide open and smiling, though covered in three weeks of beard and the half-lidded eyes of a man who is finally able to relax. Yesterday was the culmination of two months of work, all wrapped up in a day which I had ostensibly taken off to relax before the show, but ended up running around all day, putting out fires or...

how to become vaguely self-important

Art continues unabated. After the Friday afternoon pandemonium, we quickly righted ourselves, like good Christian folk do. We aren't any of those three descriptors, but we are always striving. So the very first place we went, we ordered frames, offered to us at a cheaper price than we would have paid in Chicago, not even factoring in the gas, which would have been kind of a bite out of our financial ass....

our great adventures in art (have been cancelled)

Ha Ha, just kidding. Of course I'm gonna talk about it some more. This gallery show is taking over my brain. I have to worry about stuff like distributing postcards and whether we'll get enough (ie, any) coverage and never mind the whole perseveration over whether people will like the stuff, let alone buy some. Everything is pretty much done. We just have to assemble the frames, get some last minute replacement...
