On Media Collusion →

fek: Yes. Yes we are. If you want to talk about the media collectively conspiring and colluding to make certain things happen, look no further than what we’re doing to you with Odd Future. It’s like the opposite of the Tea Party. Case-in-point: At one point, Tyler raised his hands into the air, Rocky-style, surveying his crew’s latest conquest. He looked overjoyed and maybe even a bit...

My name is Bristol Palin, and this is my heart-wrenching story. When I was 17, the last thing I’d expected in life was to get pregnant. My mom was on the rise politically, I was practically engaged to the hottest kid in school, and our lives were beginning to change- we were leaving behind our sleepy town in Wasilla for the public eye and constant scrutiny of American politics. It was a...

fek: Oh, man. Sergio: We called up a few folks at WSN to find out what they were thinking (if they were, in fact, thinking at all). Platt hasn’t returned our calls, and Cosgrove declined to comment. We also reached out to Brooke Kroeger, the director of NYU’s journalism institute who was once NYU Local’s advisor. She and Jay Rosen — who serves as the chair for WSN’s board of directors, by the...

Things That Piss Me Off About The New Das Racist

I really like Das Racist. The jokes are funny, they have flow, I met Heems in New York a few times and he was a cool dude. They seem like down to earth, intelligent guys. But some things about Sit Down, Man are bugging me. If you know me you know I like Teengirl Fantasy. But Commercial doesn’t quite work for me. First of all it’s weird hearing it right after Town Business, second of...

interview with casiokids for ur chicago →

so let me contextualize that weird question about “what products do you use to achieve that casiokids style”, because a lot of this got edited down and I didn’t just ask that question to be creepy. TT: One last thing: favorite drugs? SS: Well, we don’t really do drugs like that, it’s more natural drugs. TT: Like caffeine? SS: Exactly. Lighter drugs, caffeine and beer, that’s as...

Balm Ass Music

seanfennessey: Tigers Four months ago I loaded some songs into a .zip file. That was the one-third point for the year’s musical output. This month marks the two-thirds point. So here are two .zip files, with songs from that time frame. That’s May-August. They are meant to be listened to in sequence, but do whatever you want. Go ahead, it’s free, and illegal. BALM ASS MUSIC VOL. 1 BALM ASS...

longshotmag: We are down. The refrain of change has faded or flared into anger. Life goes on, but that’s all it’s doing. The economy’s story is told in lines that keep wiggling down and to the right. It’s like we’re part of the entourage of a fading rapper, watching an energetic kid step into the cipher and knowing our man just can’t hack it anymore. But today is the day we forget all that...
