Hairy Carrion Arts

Was it just me, or was the city a freaking ghost town on the 4th? It was a weird night in L.A. It seemed like there was no one on the road at all. And no one out and about. Where were you? Ya missed a great fucking gig. Do NOT tell me sucking on weenies and relish was more important than having a really good time watching live music with a bunch of really hot chicks. (And FYI, Rayko's Dig Jelly crowd brought in a bunch of really hot chicks, you losers.) The night rode in hot and humid... Read Full Story

Did you miss Boom Bash 3? It was hilarious. Sheena Metal may not be a punk rocker, but she's funnier than shit and has a mouth filthier than mine. If you can imagine that.

This is probably a reflection of what is going on inside that silly head of mine. (Hey, I heard that!) When you spend most of your time struggling just to get by, or stuggling just to keep your sanity in this god forsaken time in history, it's easy to forget what fun is all about. And I managed to allow myself to start to take this... Read Full Story
