Via the Boston Globe: “Dennis ‘Oil Can’ Boyd’s new tell-all book, ‘They Call Me Oil Can: My Life in Baseball,’ which hits bookstores in June, should be a blockbuster if the stories are similar to what the former Red Sox pitcher told WBZ’s Jon Miller yesterday at JetBlue Park. Boyd, who spent eight of his 10 major league seasons with the Red Sox, admitted he was under the influence...

– Liz Phair, defending Lana Del Rey. Fuckin’ A.
I’ve been trying to figure out what it is about this album that is so alluring. It wasn’t until I read this op-ed that I realized it: Just as Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville first got me with its unapologetic titillation and PJ Harvey’s Happy and Bleeding...

Feeling a bit better this morning - I’d say only 90% of humanity is horrible, as opposed to the 95% poll numbers taken last night in my angry mind. Oh, there was genuine Italian Nutella on the table this morning, so, 89%, factoring in Italians who make Nutella.
Anyways, David Bowie turned 65, and even though I should despise him for still being better-looking than I’ll ever be, I...

Fuck You Awards - Last Week
APPLE - My MBPro hard drive crapped out after 10 months. This was a gift from a friend while I was recovering from surgery, and the warranty still covered it, but still, that’s a bit of coin for something to die so quickly. So fuck you and your precious, expensive, beautifully designed shit, that make grown men and women sleep in the street like a bunch of fucking half-wits so they CAN...

WatchRobert Klein, Saturday Night (Live), 1975.
I’ve been re-watching the first season on Netflix. It’s fascinating to see how they got this thing on its feet, had no idea what they were doing, and still pulled it off. Even though none of the Not Ready For Prime Time Players are featured here, this was one of the earliest bits I remember telling my classmates about the following Monday.

Hey, producers who remake material younger than they are: fuck you. There are thousands of original, vibrant, new, exciting ORIGINAL screenplays out there, so fuck you in your lazy, whorish, toothless, dead Red-Bull-and-Vodka hole you call a mouth.

Wait. What?: Kim Deal is still my hero →
pomvox:
I don’t know even where to begin with this without sounding like a loser, but if you liked music and weren’t Josie and the Pussy Cats pretty, or a Joan Jett tough chick or super Punk like the CBGB crowd, suddenly on the scene was Kim Deal, looking like the rest of us and not giving a shit, proudly quirky, playing bass in a band with the boys and holding her own. It was huge. And...
