The Infowars Dating Service
April 25th, 2013LANDBOAT!
April 24th, 2013Or should I say, L.A.N.D.B.O.A.T. Imagine someone entering the Bulwer Lytton contest trying to win the Men’s Adventure category, but instead of a single sentence, you get an entire chapter.
Grid sat backwards on the bike, slinging Lily onto the seat in front of him like a sack of hamburger meat. Brick grimaced. He knew she was a prime cut of USDA Choice Angus steak. He wanted to put her in his mouth and taste her juices. But the steak would have to be for desert, because the main course was revenge. And that meal was about to be served. Cold. Like a chef salad or some other cold entrée.
It’s pretty much all like that. It comes from Blood & Tacos, a site that celebrates Men’s Adventure.

Shoegazer Sunday: Lúna’s “Leggöng Tunglsins”
April 21st, 2013It’s been an eventful week out in the real world, so here’s some pretty, mellow, noodly Shoegaze in the form of Lúna’s “Leggöng Tunglsins.” I think they’re Icelandic.

April 14th, 2013Alcest, a French shoegazer band that sounds a little bit like M83 by way of Sigur Ros and Midsummer, offers up the compelling “Souvenirs D’un Autre Monde” (“Memories of Another World).

Japanese Pop Punk Band SpecialThanks
April 10th, 2013While plumbing the depths and breadths of YouTube for suitable Shoegazer Sunday entries, sometimes I stumble across something interesting that doesn’t fit in the Shoegaze label. Today let’s take a look at Japanese band SpecialThanks.
The first 20 seconds of silence is just to mess with you.
So a pop-punk band with a deadly cute female lead who sings in English that sounds like a cross between Blink-182 and [Insert Current Teenage Female Pop Sensation Here].

As it stands, I’m pretty sure some canny American record label would make millions signing them over here…
