WELL THEN! Happy Friday, New York City! How are we going to destroy our minds this weekend? Family Circus comic reading marathon? Windex mouthwash? Sasquatch hunting parties? Wisdom tooth extractions? Mall Santa royal rumble? Forget all that noise. How about a tall heaping glass of rock and roll? (TM and copyright Rico) Friday December 2nd [...]
Old Nick Back Up to Old Tricks
Sweet Poseidon! It appears we are all still here, having survived the weekender to rule all weekenders. You’d think we’d settle into some kind of lull and have a nice quiet week of tea biscuits, lullabys and root beer tastings, but this is New York and the action continues until we die, and after…so yes, [...]

Haunted Hoedown
Howuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—gaaaa! I dare say there is no other holiday that’s more Garage Rock than Halloween. The Cramps, the Misfits, the Fuzztones… or maybe just ‘cuz it’s a holiday that celebrates acting like a giant weirdo, drinking way too much, dancing to retarded tunes about graveyards and rockin’ bones and taking the wrong person home. That [...]
Ghouls to the Left of Me, Rippers to the Right
What’s up, Jekyll! That ghastly pallor of yours could probably be attributed to your vices and/or your lack of sleep this past week, or it could be that it’s that magical time of the year we like to call HALLOWEEN! When it falls on a weekend (or this year, JUST outside of one) you’d best [...]
Candied Mucous Jellybabies
So how’s everyone’s sanity and livers holding up? CMJ week is in it’s final throes, and whether you think it’s bullshit or whether you crowded into a packed room to see your favorite band or attended any one of dozens of “anti” parties - it doesn’t matter because it’s bigger than you! Like Christianity [...]
