Google is the President of the Universe

As part of their ongoing effort to make everything awesome, Google Maps now lets you wile out and drag and drop your driving directions so that you can take whatever route you want. On top of that, there are live-traffic updates, indicating which routes are sketchy to take. What the fuck is Mapquest?

The Grey Lady reports that 24 year old Andrew Cooper has been arraigned following his arrest last Thursday at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in Chelsea.

Summer dreamin’, take me away

You know what would be nicer than seeing Gogol in July amongst slavo-gypsypunk-philes in New York? Seeing Gogol amongst gypsypunkphile slavs. Yes I would sit through an hour of techno for that. There has to be vodka around that place. Maybe marinated herring.

$nack Lyfe: Queso

It came to my attention a few months ago that my roommates and I might have a problem with orange consumables. Cheetos, Sparks, mac ‘n cheese, Sunkist: Sign me up, I want my fingers to be orange and my mouth to taste like rotten syrupy citrus, always. One of my favorite orange snacks to […]

Cocaine Doesn’t Just Smell Good, It Now Also Tastes Good!!

 
Reports say that a strawberry and coconut flavored coke-wave is hitting Yayo Yolo County, California. The catch is that it costs up to 40% more than regular cocaine, which is usually flavored with a hint of baby laxative and a gasoline finish. So I hear.

Fuck an iPhone: The Final Countdown

Enough, already. We know its coming. We know what it does. We know what it doesn’t do. We don’t, however, know what it might do. I can say I officially do not give a shit anymore. Those of you that choose to live on the bleeding edge startle me with your willingness to relinquish two […]

Go Do This: Kickball at Cakeshop

One of my favorite West Coast bands, Kickball, is playing in New York this week with French band Clara Clara. You can catch them tonight at the Cake Shop or on the 29th at the Woodser in Williamsburg. Like you’d expect from an Olympia, WA band, Kickball have a bit of a hippie vibe […]

What A Babe: Michelle Scourtos

Michelle is a Greek goddess of amazing weird hippie-dom who loves to frolic in the woods, wear more chains than Mr-T, and takes everyone by surprise when she switches her style up the second summer hits by trading in her jeans + boots + men’s jackets for blinged out gold heels + short shorts + […]

My Girlfriend is Out of Prison!!

God came down and told the state of California to release young Ms. Hilton from her shackles, lest he unleash a wrath upon the west coast unseen since the Sonics won the NBA title in 1979. And it was good.

The Best Stuff: Greasy Meat Mats

In totally-important-news, Instructables teaches the interworld how to make a placemat out of bacon. It’s because, obviously, Americans aren’t ingesting enough grease. They call it an “all-body lube job.” Sexy.

We Did a Thing: Superchunk at McCarren Park Pool

Superchunk played a free show yesterday at Williamsburg’s McCarren Park Pool, the first in this summer’s series of pool parties at the popular waterless swimming hole. We obviously don’t need to tell you how great this band is. You know how people say when Morrissey sings, it feels like his lyrics were written just for […]

Thunderbolt of Zeus strikes City of Atlantic

Does this mean guido hairstyles will look normal in a charred environment? That’s a stretch and I know it.

Anyway, a blaze, probably not from ciggy butts (but it’s not entirely impossible) hit the casino commission’s HQ in Atlantic City.
Says the En Why Tee:
A fire damaged part of the state Casino Control Commission headquarters […]
