Gibson DUI

Mel Gibson was arrested for a DUI today. But we should give him a break. He just lost his wife in a car crash, and he doesn't care if he lives or dies. When he was 19, he did a guy in Laos with a rifle shot at a thousand yards in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. It's the only thing he was ever good at.

Well, see you tomorrow.

Why Not?

Why it makes sense for Hollywood to stay away from original movies

Why the public isn't revolting about Iraq like they did about Vietnam

Why fast foods are bad, even in moderation

Why club soda removes red wine stains

Why large creatures go extinct

Why bullies behave that way

Why Bose sucks

Survive This

Richard Hatch, winner of the original Survivor (back when anyone cared), was sent to a federal, PMITA prison last week for 51 months for failure to pay taxes on the million bucks he won. What a dumbass. It's true that most people forgot about him pretty soon after he won, but did he think the IRS would forget? C'mon, they're like rock & roll. And they will send you to jail.

The Tan Man

Apparently Matt Farasey, or Meether, has an alter ego in Cincinnati. He is the Tan Man. If you email Q102 and are convincing enough, you could have him crash your pool party with "ice cold drinks from Pepsi, sunscreen from Banana Boat, and lunch from Subway, Snyders Pretzels and Trauth Ice Cream."

Normally, if I just heard about it randomly and didn't know who the Tan Man personally, I would think something like this wasn't worth writing to them about. But the public has no idea that having Meether at your pool party is the best thing that could ever happen to you. Or your pool.

All Better

I have returned from the 10th Annual All Good and I must say that it was quite the experience. Drew and I met people from all over the country and had a great time. Pictures are up in the gallery.

All Good

Tonight I'm leaving for the weekend to meet Drew in West Virginia for the All Good Festival. It'll be like Bonnaroo except only 18,000 people instead of 80,000. We will be seeing a bunch of awesome musical acts with no overlap including The Black Crowes, Galactic, The Greyboy Allstars, Trey and Mike, Ween, Les Claypool, John Medeski, Disco Biscuits, Donavon Frankenreiter, Railroad Earth, and Mofro. Expect pictures next week.

Sorry for the lack of links in this post.

Give Head

What a dumbass.

Mates of State

My new favorite band is called Mates of State. This is one of the best heads up I've ever gotten from Farasey, and their latest disc was my album of the long weekend. They're a married pop duo of keyboards and drums that write great songs and sing crazy harmonies. Other than that they're hard to describe. Except to say it's awe-some.
