Hot: You know those old videos that were all the rage back in the day that were about playing classical music overtop of bright and colorful things that were supposed to make an army of super intelligent babies but actually did more to develop ADD than anything resembling intelligence? Well “Vermilion Pleasure Night” is sort [...]
Hot: Hey folks, I’m not dead. Now that’s out of the way, on to the main event. I’m quite the fan of Henry Rollins, anything he’s in I’ll watch, any interview that’s out there I’ll look into – I really dig on him. I’ve seen his spoken word twice before, once in my native state [...]
In the very early morning in the fall of 1979 a particular beach along the Aegean Sea in Athens is nearly deserted. You have not yet slept, as your crewmates have gotten ahold of your judgment once again, and you have been out all night. But you are alone now, and the soft pink horizon gives context to your solitude. You stroll the shoreline, smoking a cigarette, thinking of home and taking stock of the day ahead of you, when, in an instant, your life changes forever.
Hot: Here’s a little social experiment: Erase your MySpace page. Go ahead, you’re going to have to trust me on this one. And while you’re at it get rid of your Facebook page as well. Right now, I’ll wait. Also delete your LinkedIn profile and take yourself off of Match.com, Friendster, and Classmates.com. Peekyou, Flickr, [...]
Hot: (Yes, hunted to death by ignorant white men.) One of our affiliates, TorsoPants, is regrettably no longer going to be with us. On December 23rd (Hail Eris) they will close their </html> forever. They are the most openly absurdist tee shirt-ery this side of Fnord. It’s worth a look, especially since these coming days [...]
Hot: A while back I asked people on my Twitter friends list to DM me with the answer to a really simple question: What is your favorite color? I got some really interesting responses, and I thought to myself: “Hey self” “Yeah?” “What if we do a really neat post out of this?” “Well! That’s [...]
Hot: Good evening, it’s your friendly neighborhood cyst Sketch here bringing you an article for your Internet Arts & Leisure feed. Today we bring you a review on “Sex In The City: The Movie”… sorry, wrong drugs. Now that we’ve changed substances a proper review is in order. Last night the one man band Trent [...]
Hot: This morning I went out and cast my vote for president, as well as some state and local officials. The lines weren’t long, the weather wasn’t bad, and I still had time for coffee. It didn’t hurt, and no one was particularly grouchy. Voting isn’t so bad. If you haven’t voted, you should. If [...]
Hot: Some time after he donned fishnets and a corset for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and before he scared the ever-loving crap out of me in IT (1990), Tim Curry found himself in a made-for-television film called The Worst Witch. With other notable names such as Diana Rigg, Fairuza Balk (a hilarious role [...]
Hot: Ok so admittedly it isn’t going to be quite that big, but it does give me an opportunity to use the first WTK vocabulary term: brobdingnagian. This originates from the Jonathan Swift novel, Gulliver’s Travels. The term was coined as a reference to the city in which Gulliver visits where everything is just huge. [...]
