Did you see the story in the news about the Wisconsin man picketing the all-you-can-eat restaurant? THE SIMPSONS really is the 21st Century’s Nostradamus.

VICE: J.G. Thirlwell interview
Posted by Mark Allen on 08 May 2012 | Tagged as: Random Posts
Suck on this, Squarehead! Check out my new interview with musical madman J.G. Thirlwell in Vice. I’ve been a rabid fanatic of Thirlwell’s crazed work ever since I bought my first Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel record as a kid, so this was a fun interview to do. What a trill to hear about all his many, many latest endeavors.

I think the best “New York” mood movie is the last story in CREEPSHOW when tyrannical E.G. Marshall gets eaten alive by cockroaches in his weird antiseptic penthouse. It really captures the flavor of the city more than MEAN STREETS or ANNIE HALL. Don’t you agree?

THE AWL: Know Your Internet History!

I have a new series debuting at The Awl today about the earliest days of the internet and its unsung pioneers… prairie days when the web was like the Wild West, and early settlers had to build their websites out of blood, sweat and raw HTML. My first subject is Rob Cockerham of the ground-breaking Cockeyed.com. Hit the back button!
