The lawsuits, the fakery, the hopeful downfall or arc of disinterest, these are all fine things.

The main, deserved focus is usually missed: The embarrassing, godawful writing.

Fiction keywords and phrases: gay hustler, runaway, abuse, slumming regional dialogue written by an outsider, Dennis Cooper, drug abuse, horrible childhood, .

If these easy avenues are what you look for in fiction, pack your lunch. Do not return. There’s plenty out there catering to your needs.

….Butthole Surfers and Happy Flowers!!! Dance, ladies!!!

Cable Report:

Showdown on a Max. Billy Blanks’ high school bully adventure made in 1993, unwillingly set in the mid-80’s. Students in their mid-30’s. Blanks as the hermit janitor savior. Stars an unsuccessful Christine Taylor. Unfortunately entertaining.

Drag City presents “The People Under The Stares” an evening of stand-up comedy featuring

Graham Elwood
Jeff Jensen & Elizabeth Mann
Brian Babylon
Becky Garcia
with your host
Rian Murphy
and live musical accompaniment from
Azita & her Ass Shivers

A monthly comedy showcase at The Hideout in Chicago brought to you by the unusual gang of idiots at Drag City.

Earles says: I don’t know much about these other ding dongs but my co-conspirator Jeff Jensen’s performance is sure to whelm with wonder and amusement. You’ll leave offended, confused, and horny. This show is not to be confused with bad underground hip-hop (that’s stairs) or bad horror movies that feature Ving Rhames spending the entire affair referring to a kid lead as “fool!”

….due to a formating issue. It was making my site ALL CRAZY. It was the Dan Deacon post, specifically. Sorry if you missed that highly controversial nugget. Do-de-do….here are some albums that have been doing it for me:

1. The new Liars album. For real. I feel as though it may sour as listens go on and on, but there was an immediately positive feeling.

2. I’m on another massive Fleetwood Mac kick.

3. I’m putting together the ultimate Church compilation CD - all pre-Starfish. Seriously, are you unaware of how wonderful this band was? Go away. Go away unfed.
