too bad he's not running for American Idol...

All Star Superman

And then there's this...

...which oddly enough was recorded by original St Elmo's Fire themesmith John Parr. This (and the other parody songs) don't change the fact that Tebow's an overrated douchebag. Fuck him, fuck Green Bay, and fuck the Giants! I mean go Giants! Shit. Whatever.

Wait! What?

In an unfortunate turn of events, I will be rooting for a New York sports team this Sunday. An occasion so rare that I felt needs some sort of documentation. So if any of my asshole friends are reading this I will drink out of your atrocious pint glasses this weekend. However as soon as the game ends, I will resume my hatred regardless of the outcome, so there is a possibility that I will replace my drink with urine. My point being: Fuck Aaron Rodgers! Fuck Green Bay! Go G-Men!

Top Ten

No. I'm not giving you yet another yearly top ten list a month late. But instead occupying someone else's list. Although it's with a shared endeavor, and at the bottom of the list, it's still a personal milestone.

The Indie Cred Test (in which you can find me in the credits as "Major Contributor") was ranked 10th in SPIN magazine's book list last year. I'll take it.

On top of that, Penguin Press will be publishing new editions this fall. So if you don't have this already (and I don't know why you don't. I've mentioned a few times that you should) you can get the current editions cheap at Chunklet.

Fatale

Despite my love for most things hard boiled and noir, I've never read Criminal or any of the Brubaker/Phillips stuff. I'm not really sure why. My only guess is that I never jumped on it at the beginning because I was never really that into Brubaker's mainstream stuff. I don't think I even became that aware of it until the Blast of Silence was released on DVD a few years back with Sean Phillips art. One day, I'll have to catch up on the trades.

I was pretty happy that they started a new series that I could get in on from the ground up. On top of that, this series infuses Lovecraftian horror. How cool is that? The first issue incorporates the horror themes subtly and it works seamlessly.

If that's not enough to get you on board, look at this cover. How could you not want to read this?

Deep Two

Hey. I know it's been a while since I've even posted a stupid picture or video. I'm going to try to get back on this. Until I get busy. Or apathetic. Or whatever until next time. Fuck it.

So we've got our first Melvins release of the year. Looks like they're not letting up. There are 13 vinyls on the way. Kind of the way the pressed HAT on vinyl, Sugar Daddy will be a collection of singles. This time with alternate bands on the b-sides. Some will be new, and some will be defunct. They will also be fancy and probably expensive. There is promise that there will be plenty pressed so that this will not be ridiculously expensive. Although there should be more $500 vinyl box sets released a little later so they should be doing OK.
