When I got home tonight Wolfdogg and I were talking about the upcoming Mike Doughty shows at the Bryant Lake Bowl in November. We’re a little bit worried about getting tickets because the Bryant Lake Bowl is roughly the size of the great room in Supergenius HQ. Which is to say eeny teeny.
It was then [...]
Seven weeks of bliss
A heart should always go one step too far
It has been ages since I’ve waxed psychotic about Carl Newman or The New Pornographers. So, in honor of their new album,“Challengers” a little spoojing is in order.
First of all, the album is really fucking good. You should go buy it right now. You will not regret the purchase.
However, there is a [...]
AC Newman marries, I consider the nunnery
Damnit One of my all-time favorite imaginary boyfriends got married, I hate when they do that to me. [via]
Looking ahead
So I just bought a ticket to The New Pornographers’ October 16th show at First Ave, anyone else going?
Hey la, hey la
For some reason the University of Phoenix’s commercials that use The New Pornographer’s “The Bleeding Heart Show” bug me endlessly. However, it’s not as ridiculous as when Outback Steakhouse used Of Montreal’s “Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games.”

3. i am going to have to [...]

“yeah, i can’t help it. my friend ChiliD just got use new pornographer tickets and i’m a bit giddy.”
so yeah, new pornographer tickets, the vodo tonight, and screechy, dorky e-mails with kelly that are reminiscent of notes passed between 8th grade [...]
hope grows greener than grass stains
dear Carl,
i was just listening to “Letter from an Occupant” for about the 39,921st time in the last little while here. today instead of making it shake my ass, it instead nearly made me cry.
first before you get all uppity with me, i know that it’s all about Neko on that one, but when i [...]
milestones
i have finally mastered the art, while sitting here working in my underpants, of discerning by touch alone which of the chocolate cover gobs in my fancy pants Pampered Chef bowls are chocolate covered raisins and which are chocolate covered peanuts. this was a necessary skill to develop, because i don’t like the peanut/almond combination [...]
dear AC Newman,
we here at supergenius headquarters regret to inform you of your recent slide from the top of the Imaginary Boyfriend List (IBL). for quite a long time you were our most favorite rock and roller, made even more special because of your absolutely wonderful orangey red hair (and you know how we love [...]
