Concerning the Rock-Afire Explosion:
Throughout the 1980s, before Chuck E. Cheese took control of the remaining restaurants, ultimately more successful, there was Showbiz Pizza, which delivered much of what Chuck E. Cheese did: pizza, arcade games, screaming children, probably a ball pit, and horrifying animatronic bands. I’d write about the band from [...]
I kind of dropped the ball last week, and I’m sorry. There are many perfectly good reasons for it, though, and I thought I might detail them for you so you can feel like you’re more involved in my life.

My life mentor, Salim Muwakkil, came to speak at Whitman this week, which was a [...]

Last night, the Golden State Warriors fell to the Los Angeles Lakers as at least the partial result of a blown call with four seconds left in the game. Monta Ellis was hooked on the shoulder by Lakers guard Derek Fisher and pulled to the ground. Referee Bob Delaney whistled Ellis [...]

Today I bring you just a few unrelated items for easy consumption.
1. Woman with ninja turtle poodle:
So I guess the story here is that there’s some contest out there called the SuperGroom, and in this contest you’re supposed to maim style your dog to look like something else. This colorfully-dressed woman (comically named Myra Macia — 4real) won [...]
New music Wednesday comes with a decided pout, whereas every music blog out there has been posting live photos from SXSW — which, by the way, looks like it kicks fucking ass this year.But I’ve got two nice tracks for you and a video I’m obsessed with. So enjoy!
She & Him – “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here”
The exciting [...]
[EDIT: There are links throughout this, but I had a lot of difficulty formatting this piece for some reason, so the links are just showing up black. But there are three or so opportunities to read the whole interview in XXL.] Today’s quote comes from a really lovely little interview in XXL magazine published last Friday with DMX.

The world of professional sports lends itself easily to cliché. The idea of an athlete telling a reporter he wants to “take it one game at a time” was laughed at as a blandly silly cliché in Bull Durham almost twenty years ago, but it continues to be a mainstay of [...]
In an effort to bring upside down again back to its old daily standard, I’m proposing a topic-per-day schedule. This is pending the signing on of the ever-brilliant Chris Tognotti (as close as you’ll ever come to a real NBA expert) and/ or any other possible contributors.Starting tomorrow (yes, tomorrow), the format of upside down [...]
The danger of a presidential election as monumental and central as the 2008 presidential election is that the American public loses sight of everything else going on in the world. The Iraq War, for example, was on everybody’s radar just a year ago — the annual anti-war rally I went to in Portland, Ore. last [...]
