Run Run Riot


On Stereogum

I'm not sure how true it is that they got kicked out...I was at the Music Hall of Williamsburg and they were drinking while on stage and were reprimanded for it multiple times, but then the bassist and the lead singer at the very least stayed and watched the rest of the show. I was standing right next to them and they were just standing there. I mean maybe I missed something, but I stayed until the showcase was over and definitely saw them still there. but maybe i'm just dumb!

it sounds just like the last record, which sounded nothing like classic devendra. this isn't new for him, this is just the road he's been increasingly been taking ever since he got signed. definitely not a bad road though, just a much much different one.

I think I would be able to enjoy this band a great deal more if they didn't give me the impression of being such assholes. Typical Killers complex

I guess the lucrative prize of a wig of Kate Gosselin's old haircut is even more awesomely irrelevant now!

Mountain Man Dance Moves by McSweeney's will always be the best book of lists. Although this one does have John Hodgman

Instead of actually watching Julie & Julia, I decided to come up with my own movie plots for when I am a movie executive, following the rule that the script must be based on two true stories that do not relate except that they must allow for a sensible title that involves two words that are nearly identical.

Here is my list:

Cruise & Crusoe- A man named Tom Cruise tries to make it as an actor in the 1980s while a man by the name of Daniel Defoe writes a book called Robinson Crusoe in the year 1719. Both men turn out to be successful and marry Nicole Kidman at one point in their lives.****

Shyamalan & Babylon- A director/writer named M. (yes just M.) directs/writes increasingly popular and then increasingly unpopular movies while an ancient city named Babylon rises and falls from prominence as well.

Freemen & Semen- A man by the name of Morgan Freeman starts an acting career late in his life and becomes extremely successful as both an actor and a background talker. A teaspoon of semen fails to find an egg and therefore dies.

God & Todd- A supernatural being creates a universe to rule over while a man named Todd tries really hard to get women to like him and land a job as an ad man, marketing material goods. One storyline seems much more trivial than the other.
