above by Inka Essenhigh Personal ads are a bit of a crapshoot. Sometimes, though, the person really shines through and you know immediately who you're dealing with. For the discerning Echo Park lady, there's always this. A liberal bitch is a good fuck though. strawberry is a hoe!!!

My emotional immune system is fucking tops.
7 Means of Movement: Walking Edwin Starr, 25 Miles. Champion Jack Dupree, Walking The Blues. Benny Carter, A Walkin' Thing. Isn't it really quite extraordinary to see that, ever since man has walked, no one has asked himself why he walks, how he walks, if he walks, if he could walk better...questions that are tied to all the philosophical, psychological and political systems, which occupy the

some of the VU paintings at Guestroom I 've been waiting to do this post for a long time - okay, not really, I just haven't gotten around to it for some reason. Steve Keene , who bills himself as America's most prolific artist, has painted album covers for several bands, including The Apples In Stereo and Pavement's Wowee Zowee . He creates multiple images at once and, though they are all copies of one another, each piece is unique [...]

I'm going to be a little short on words this month. In two weeks I'll be off on a 10 day jaunt to the east coast to see friends and family. Of course, that means that right now, I'm working extra shifts and scrapping for overtime to pay for this jaunt to the east coast. In honor of the self-imposed brevity needed to pull all of this off, I'm going to spend the month of May throwing up some of my favorite instrumental tracks. Of course, I couldn't possibly do that without writing a little blurb about each [...]
Greetings from Covington, KY - home of...that White Castle half-a-block away from the plush hotel room in which I'm currently situated. After a ten-hours-plus drive, I am relaxing on a couch, sipping a bottle of Bell's Cherry Stout. There's another bottle of beer (Goose Island Bourbon Stout) on ice, waiting for The Sopranos to start. A very surreal feeling engulfed me today as I followed the exact same route I took during the first day of my cross-country trip in July of '05. At times, I could predict the way the roads bent. The [...]

A: Did you hear about how global warming is, like, solved? No, it wasn't the announcement of the Spinal Tap benefit reunion . It was the recent discovery of an AWESOME NEW PLANET!

Sufjan Stevens / all photos by David Greenwald I told you to watch out for this and here it is: All Tomorrow's Parties at the Queen Mary in 2004 was one of the best festivals I ever attended. The lineup was unbelievable, the performances were mostly great and unlike the untamed masses of Coachella, having 2,000 or so attendees made getting between the two stages manageable. Here are my best shots from the first day, with the second coming tomorrow. I've also posted larger galleries for Sufjan Stevens and [...]

Hasni - Omri Omri (mp3) Omri Omri. Courage est bien de débuter cette lettre, qui s'ajoute aux autres, avec ces mots. Ceux-là sont tout ce qui me reste, et qui paraissent subsister, comme des ruines, à tout ce qu'il en était de nous. Ainsi ta voix succulente me dessinait chacun de tes mouvements faciaux, ces expressions qui, à chaque heurt et à chaque friction, ont échoués de feindre mes yeux. Et tes joues qui ne pouvaient dessiner autres que [...]
MP3: THE VELVET UNDERGROUND - CANDY SAYS (ALTERNATE CLOSET MIX)

Last night I had the extreme pleasure of seeing The Science of Sleep , one of the most entertaining films I've seen for a while. It's not brilliant by any stretch of the plot, but the sheer amount of visual surprises and ideas just seem to tumble over one another to enchant your attention. Gael Garcia Bernal puts in a great performance as the innocent but childish Stéphane, and in one of the scenes, he performs along with the rest of the cast the most twee song in the Velvet Underground 's catalogue, After Hours . The [...]
