For Your Editing Pleasure: Nine Inch Nails Live

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

It was announced about a month ago that Nine Inch Nails had planned on recording a performance from this most recent tour in 3D. Sadly the ball was dropped on the project due to lack of support from a former label and the project fell through. Rather than letting the incredible stage production wrap up with no archived footage short of an official trailer and a shitload of unprofessional video footage, three shows were filmed by crew in high definition…

This is where it gets interesting:

Trent Reznor has released over 400 gigabytes of raw hi-def concert footage from those three performances free via BitTorrent for fans to download, edit and share.

This should prove to be quite a fun exercise in editing if you are at all interested in that kind of stuff.

Download the footage:

Trashtalk: Why the Fuck Aren’t You Reading Old Man Logan?

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

If you aren’t you reading Old Man Logan than you’re a Goddamn idiot. This is a story that is near perfect. It’s got everything you could ask for in a comic; a post apocalyptic American road trip chock full of underground mutants that eat cities, biker gangs and two old, ex-superheroes. Beyond that, we’ve been covering this fucking book like a groupie’s mouth on Jon Bon Jovi’s dick, telling you that this is one of the best comics out right now, which leads me to deduct: not only are you an idiot for not reading it, but an asshole, and most likely a child pornographer. There is one solution and that is to read this comic. Old Man Logan is so good, if you brought it to the hospital and rubbed it on your grandmother she’d be out of the hospital within a day. It’s clinically proven to cure cancer and various STDs. But, then that’s what happens when you pick up a book written by Mark Millar. Like most Scots he has magical powers, not unlike that of Dr. Strange. In fact, Mark Millar, who was born in Coatbridge, Scotland, is nearly 150 years old, and was the inspiration behind Stan Lee’s famous master of the mystic arts. Millar decided to break into comics in the late 1980’s when he saw the success Lee had using his likeness into the medium. But, that’s neither here nor there, this isn’t about how Mark Millar can turn straw into gold or is a walking one-man orgy, it’s about you being a dick for not reading Old Man Logan. If your parents knew that you weren’t reading this book they would remove you from their will. Barack Obama is president elect because he’s been reading this book and George W. Bush has had such low approval ratings because he’s not been reading it. It’s science. So, please, for your sake, for your sick grandmother’s sake, read Old Man Logan. You still have time.

MAD Magazine’s Dumbest Person of 2008

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

(This first appeared on Huffington Post)

As promised in my revelation last week, the usual gang of idiots over at MAD Magazine have allowed me to exclusively unveil to Huffington Post readers (and the world) who the dumbest person of 2008 is. And for the magazine that employs someone as preposterously stupid as Alfred E. Neuman to say that someone is the dumbest person of the year, it means something.

But their choice really can’t come as any surprise. so, without further ado, here she is. The dumbest person of 2008:


(Obviously, you should click for a larger version, half the jokes are in the fine print…)

I doubt there are many who could conceivably argue with their choice. And if there’s one thing the guys at MAD are experts in, it’s dumb.

An Early Look at MAD Magazine’s Worst of 2008 List

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

(This article first appeared on The Huffington Post)

In an effort to appeal to a crowd other than the snot-nosed, obnoxious thirteen year old market, the usual gang of idiots at MAD Magazine have been on the nose this election season with biting political commentary. (You can see the previous Huffington Post exclusives of that commentary here and here.) But now that the election is over and all of the other more reputable magazines are having a stab at their 10, 20, 50, 100 or 1000 best and worst of 2008 lists, MAD just had to follow suit. So they decided to come up with a list of the worst people, places, and things of 2008.

The difference between MAD and all the other magazines? MAD doesn’t play by rules of maturity. So it is without maturity that I am proud to unveil exclusively for Huffington Post readers item #6 on their worst of 2008 list: Hillary Clinton’s Campaign for the White House.

The issue with the full list is on stands December 16th, but be sure to check back next week. Those suckers at MAD told me that they’d let me unveil the absolute dumbest person, place or thing from 2008. I have a sneaking suspicion it has to do with politics and will please the readers of Huffington Post greatly…

So, until then: What me worry?
