Toronto - I went into Thursday's Ariel Pink concert not having listened to any of the band's music. A few of my friends had recommended them and after briefly skimming some articles about them, I was interested. Their lead singer - Ariel Marcus Rosenberg was apparently a volatile guy and they were supposedly theatrical. That's more then enough for me to make the short walk to the Mod Club. They were in town to promote their album Before Today , their first album off 4AD records. First of all, the Mod Club charges 7 dollars [...]

My family didn't have many traditions. When I was a child we had family dinners and lit Jew candles on Friday nights. Other than that, we didn't do much together. Holiday dinners, I guess, were about as normal as we could be. But there was one tradition that I always enjoyed, and I am trying to continue as I age. In short, it is watching the annual New Year's Twilight Zone television marathon. In New Jersey, New Years' day is usually really, really cold. From an early age, my father, sister, and sometimes my mother, would [...]

The only known image of me that exists from 2003. I am receiving a free facial from a girl who worked with a friend of mine at a spa in SoHo. Ha! I was going to attempt a new free-write today, but we got hooked on this movie Project Grizzly - which sucked, by the way! The dude didn't even fight a bear - and I never got around to it. Instead, I'm going to re-hash this old Swan Fungus feature that I call "Artificial Artificial Paradises". If you don't remember these, or [...]
![[News] The Curious Case of Ballon Boy](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2056972_lg.jpg)
I was going about my typical Thursday routine, writing about some fine covers, when Twitter exploded in my face and CNN broke news across my television about a balloon. Not just your typical tycoon who thought he was a modern-day Magellan in a balloon, but one with a little boy as an (unsuspecting) pilot. Watching such a bizarre story unfold on live television makes for some hilarious commentary, like an afternoon CNN anchor watching the balloon land whilst remarking: "I'm confused.." I hope little Falcon is simply playing Legos in the basement [...]

in case you weren't aware, or too soused to realise, this week is alcohol awareness week . now for a semi-retired bukowski like m'self i have been and always am aware of booze but apparently this week i've to be ever more vigilant of its wily ways and means. and in typical patronising public sector politicking the health at work team here (yes there are a group of people dedicated to ensuring i stay healthy) proffered up this entirely unironic little intellectual nugget: a small or large measure of fruit juice or soft drink [...]
It's too bad that comedians and musicians don't cross-pollinate more, because in Moshe Kasher, I hear a bravado and indignant boy-man-ism reminiscent of the most insular shows at the Vermont House. He gets it. If you're in a band, you should actually bring Kasher's CD in the tour van with you this fall. It's one hell of a road-trip album: the chronicle of an exasperated yet bemused Jew wandering from San Francisco to Los Angeles and burning his bridges along the way with short stops in Germany, the piss-soaked streets of Spain, and the homophobic auditoriums ("Naw, dawg!") of Modesto.

Artist: Mitch Hedberg Album: Strategic Grill Locations Release Date: September 7, 1999 Fact: Mitch Hedberg dressed up for the CD It's been said before that Mitch Hedberg was the Kurt Cobain of comedy. Consequently, it's also been said that Dane Cook is the Nickelback/Chad Kroeger of comedy. Both are probably more accurate than anyone realizes. Obviously, the Hedberg/Cobain comparison is clearest in the fact that both died young, when their respective careers had a very high ceiling. By the early 2000s Hedberg's distant, [...]
Feeling lost on the murky road of life? Well, get out and stretch your legs at the weekly rest stop known as Sound Advice. There's a great Mitch Hedberg joke: "I was walking down the street with my friend and he said 'I hear music,' as though there's any other way to take it in. 'You're not special. That's how I receive it too...I tried to taste it, but it did not work." You know when you're trying to explain something to someone and they reply with, "I see what you're saying"? [...]

Some "collections agency" has been calling me non-stop for the past three days, claiming I defaulted on a Chase credit card a few months ago and I owe around 300 bucks. The guy that calls me is a huge dick...which I guess is a good thing to have on your resume if you're applying for a company that tries to scam people out of money they don't have a right to. The guy's name is RONALD POLIN from MRS COLLECTIONS. I hope he Googles himself and finds this page. Hi, Ron! Fuck you! [...]

I'm really disappointed that I did not have the opportunity to catch one of Mitch Hedberg's live shows. There is no question that he was the smartest and funniest comedians of his generation. He's been compared to Steven Wright, but I think that Hedberg's act is edgier and more entertaining. I'm warming up to Mitch's new comedy LP Do You Believe In Gosh? , but I prefer Mitch All Together . Download (Right-Click Save As): MP3: Mitch Hedberg - The Dufrenes [...]
