Kanye, Taylor: Behind the Feud
In the realm of pop culture, few conflicts have garnered as much attention as the ongoing feud between Kanye West and Taylor Swift. This feud has been marked by misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and outright animosity. However, amidst the drama, it's evident that Taylor Swift doesn't deserve the hate she's received, and Kanye West's actions have often been questionable.

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 10
The year was probably 1980 or 1981, and I was maybe four years old. I was wandering around an apartment complex not very far, actually, from the one I now live in at age forty-seven. My quickly developing consciousness was focused, as per usual, on the television, which had previously blown my infantile mind by introducing me to the fact that SUPERMAN (whose peejays I so loved and cherished, them transforming me into a tot-sized "Superbaby" in the eyes of all and sundry, I was certain) was a f*cking ALIEN; or, as the old narrator during the opening of the "Superman" reruns with George "Not Faster Than the Speeding Bullet That Blew His Brains Out" Reeves, (who was sort of juxtaposed in the opening credits against the Stars and Stripes and outer space), exclaimed: "Superman! That Strange visitor from another planet..." Comforting. Was the Man of Steel here as the expeditionary force for the War of the Worlds?

Shocking New Evidence of UFO Invasion. Content Warning.
In the quiet of a summer night in 1952, the world held its breath as a series of events unfolded, both in the heavens and on Earth, leaving a mark on history that would remain shrouded in mystery for decades to come.

Former CIA Doctor Reveals Military Deaths Caused by UFOs. Content Warning.
In the murky corridors of government secrecy, Dr. Christopher Green embarked on a quest for truth that would shake the very foundations of our understanding of the cosmos. It began with a bombshell revelation: hundreds of American servicemen had suffered injury or death after encounters with anomalous unidentified craft. As a neuroimaging expert with decades of experience, Dr. Green had seen his fair share of mysteries, but nothing could have prepared him for this.

Ode to the Musician
What is music and the musician that makes it so easy and fun to listen to at any given chance to listen? Music is a series of sounds and notes that come together that makes us relax or have a good time. Music is also something that lets us show our emotions much like writing and drawing does for me and others.

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 8
To read my review of Hüsker Dü's epic live album compilation, "The Living End," click here: Hüsker Dü: "The Living End Filmed in beautiful, fuzzy, 1980s black-and-white with occasional colored tints, "Don't Want to Know if You Are Lonely" is a pre-emo emo video from former hardcore punks Hüsker Dü, who, like other bands, such as Beastie Boys, actually improved after changing their style. Hüsker Dü, incidentally, is my favorite band. Period.

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 7
The Pixies were the first Nirvana. They just didn't break in the same way. Okay, they weren't quite as heavy, having a sweeter tone to their guitars and less despair in their music--they seemed a play on commercially accessible surf tunes and pop music conventions, twisting them out of shape until they were the approximation of the David Lynch cinematic dreamscapes singer Black Francis claimed as his inspiration.

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 6
It's a screaming mess That television city dream Your robot's eyes gleam In my future dream And I am the prisoner. I saw D.O.A. live back in 1996, at Fountain Square Theater in Indianapolis, at a punk and indie music festival called "Hodge Podge" that was put on by the local pop-punk kings Sloppy Seconds. It was a great time and D.O.A. killed it, closing the show with a jam session with Zeni Geva, the little Japanese noise dude who climbed a Marshall Stack at the end--I was afraid the dude was going to jump. Anyway...

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 5
"Bright flash of steel, descending from above, addressed, "From Ronald Reagan to Russia, with love!" - Toxic Reasons I first saw this video clip on a Black Flag home video called "Live At Target." It was part of a "Coming Attractions" and was one of the best things on the video (which also featured clips from X, Iggy Pop, Bad Brains, and Survival Research Laboratories--Eighties countercultural and punk rock weirdoes, in other words). That was maybe the early 1990s, and this clip was already a decade old then, I think.
