Idiot Glee - the stage name of Kentuckian James Friley - has been known to dabble in a modern sort of doo-wop from time to time, so it's no surprise that new song "Pinkwood", from his upcoming Life Without Jazz EP, stays faithful to the cause. Take a listen: I like this. Idiot Glee's always been good but this takes it to another level, a clearly passionate, soulful one. He's belting those vocals now, there's a cheeky falsetto'd call-and-response, and that very cheekiness requires a certain confidence that wasn't really overflowing on his [...]

According to, get this, Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA), who is a prominent member of the House Science Committee. Broun made his thoughts known about science during a lecture at the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman's Banquet on September 27, 2012, in Hartwell, Georgia. Further, Broun also told the audience that all available scientific evidence leads him to believe that the Earth is only about 9,000 years old. Fuckity, fuck, fuck. How is this assclown a member of the House Science Committee when he doesn't even believe in science? Can we start a House Christian Committee and just give [...]

Back when Sheriff Andy and Opie would go fishin' after school. A time when tv couples had separate beds? A time when the 'good guys' always won? When the milkman left milk at the house? Sharpeners wandered the neighbourhood, ringing the hand-held bell to let you know he was there - ready to sharpen whatever you needed? [...]
Rep. Todd Akin, the newly-christened GOP Senate nominee in Missouri, said in a Sunday interview that “legitimate rape” rarely causes pregnancy. From the Washington Post : “First of all, from what I understand from doctors, (pregnancy from rape) is really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV in a clip posted to YouTube by the Democratic super PAC American Bridge. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Akin added: “But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something. I think there [...]
Hypervocal puts it best : "Pro tip: If a potential employer asks about your 'passion' and says 'Any color you can add to your application would be appreciated,' don’t do this. That mistake is so funny it overshadows even his Comic Sans use." Business Insider got the scoop . And you know you've been working on the Internet too long when you are 50/50 whether this is completely real, or completely made up. There's no way someone is that dumb? Yes, yes there probably is. It's the Comic Sans that has me skeptical. It's not a [...]

It says a lot for the creative ways of today that you don't even bat an eyelid when an artist releases his new EP on either a sweatshirt or a tee... and that was exactly the case with the recently released 'Of Course You Exist ' EP from the wonderful The Pictish Trail.
