What happened to Jeff Mangum?
I was just thinking about him the other day. Looks like I’m not the only one.

I have never been more ready in my life to do this right now.

HOLY god damn.

Not that I was much better.
This is our sweet geodesic dome project from 4th grade. We also made some with gumdrops that were obviously later eaten, regardless of the fact that tens of grubby fourth-grade hands were all over them.
Apparently this amazing man is opening a venue in our fair city of NYC at 100 Lafayette. Apparently this venue is supposed to be called Santa’s Party House and apparently there are no vehicles in this world that will get me to Alex W.K. fast enough for me to throw myself in his arms and […]
Being kept awake by someone who snores so loud it makes the construction paper walls in your bedroom vibrate is only ok if that someone wakes up at 2 pm, laughs at you for being grumpy and drags you to the bar you were just at 8 hours before to drink off the hangover that’s […]
I just found a way to redeem the fact that I was a sorry slacker and didn’t get field tickets for the Daft Punk show at Keyspan Park in August. I’m putting in my order for one of these
just as soon as I get copyright permission from the band and raise $65,000.
So this lady’s husband bought hundreds of original Tranformers toys between 1984-1987. He died of AIDS about a decade ago so she wants someone else to have the whole collection…for a million dollars. The eBay auction includes a blanket, a windsock and even a t-shirt that they had planned to give to their child before […]
About a dozen 7-Elevens converted into Kwik-E-Mart stores this week, in order to ensure that every film made now has some sort of high concept tie-in. Regardless, I love this idea and I want a Squishee very badly. The Simpsons movie opens July 27 and will probably suck, just like the last 10 or so […]

In order to retain smoking amidst the ban, Brit pub becomes embassy for uninhabited island.
Ícaro Airlines out of Quito is now hosting mid-air underwear fashion parades for a two-week special. Ecuador, I sweat you.
Sick cartography porn by christina.
Amy Winehouse samples “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” in her new song, with the video directed by David LaChappelle. She has drugs under that beehive. Try to make me go to rehab, I say Yah Mo Be There. Video above.
In “sports” news, pro wrestler Chris Benoit supposedly killed his family, then himself.
A crazed cop strangled […]
This weeks Rock Dove is trailing off the now-distant buzz of the final Sopranos episode. Here is the real life story of contemporary mob boss Vinnie Gigante. Instead of saying his name, you can knowingly point to your chin.
In local comics news and events, this weekend is the MoCCA art fest, which is the New […]

Tony’s not dead. He was just sleeping. But he dreamed about ordering onion rings for the table at a family meal. Carmela didn’t order any onion rings, but she did issue a hit on Tony. Meadow, possibly pregnant, was totally wearing the wrong shoes for parallel parking or […]
It’s done. The final episode of “North Jersey On HBO” is over. And my heart is still pounding. If you didn’t see it, you are Leotarded. If you don’t get that, you don’t care.
My first reaction in the run up to the final episode these past few days had been, “well, I don’t know […]
Slated to open in October, the proprietors of Fat Baby and Darkroom have announced a hillbilly-inspired bar at 133 Essex that will feature a mechanical bull. Apparently, Manhattan famously lacks these entertainment devices (I guess the spank booths and crack aren’t enough for some people). Prepare to see bridge and tunnels and downtown wacksters alike […]
Get your Serena on as Barcade hosts Wiimbledon, a test of your Wii Tennis skills from noon to 5 PM on Saturday, June 23rd. Singles and doubles matches, prizes, beer, and if your arm hurts or you suck and get bounced out, you can always play Asteroids. If my wiffleball game breaks up early, get […]
These people are fucking punk! For the last five years, people have been cramming the whole “Never Forget” thing down their throats and they are all “no way dude, I’m not remembering SHIT. Not even the day OR the year of the attacks.” One guy even goes as far as picking option (d) when […]
In North Jerz, our middle schools get rid of termites and students – extra early!
Gas mask is the new fluoro. Hot.
I love you, West Brook Middle School!
What I want to know is, can I now sue the town to take a chunk out of potential grad school debt? So far I’ve got a pedophile teacher […]
If the Cavaliers / Pistons Eastern Conference snore fest isn’t helping wean you off Ambien, the possibility of a Spurs / Pistons Finals series most certainly will. Now that every “fun” team to watch in the NBA is gone, the very real possibility that the Spurs will sneak past the Jazz tonight into the finals […]
Dorian Visionheart Dyer makes some real spirit-animal type art that reminds me why my parents stopped doing (real) drugs before having me (i think). Sometime between 1970 and now, this kind of lovefest-nature-babies-are-like-eagles thing got really weird, but Visionheart doesn’t care.
