McCain's Republican Running Mate Selected

John McCain has finally selected his Republican running mate. She is Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

Clearly, McCain is attempting to pick up Hillary supporters with selecting a female but hell, I guess he's trying to also attract vikings and the voters who like to wear endangered animal skins too.

Sarah Palin is front and center of this photo adoring her frock. What an asshole.

Rattler in San Francisco

DC rockers Rattler are departing the East Coast for a quick tour of San Francisco. Well, they are just playing ONE night, September 7 at the Thee Parkside, but don't miss it. If you reside on the West, get your ass out there and bang your head to classics like "Panty Incinerator", "Cocaine Migraine" and my favorite "Droppin Jager Bombs".

Rattles Up!

THE King Khan and BBQ Show 2008 Tour Dates...

If you haven't caught a show of the talented duo then you are simply blowing it. King Khan's other projects like King Khan and the Shrines on Vice Records has made quite splash in the pond, or in the pool rather, at this summer's gig at Brooklyn's McCarren Park. All you heard about was that fucking show...Check out the original rock caldera on their upcoming tour dates.

Don't miss the NYC shows - it's nice to see the band has graduated beyond Cake Shop's basement, although those hot ass inferno gigs in stank air will be sorely missed...

Bob Dylan in Prospect Park Tonight

Bob Dylan plays Prospect Park tonight...Sadly, with ticket prices well beyond my means ($185ish...) I'll be drinking Chuck Shaw listening to Bobby D on vinyl at home and toasting a cheer his way.

To all those going - enjoy this evening...

Cheaper than a Gallon of God Damn Gas!

CHALK is cheaper than a gallon of goddamn gas! That's right, not much else is but you can feel good knowing that you can buy this product and hop scotch your ass down the street rather than drive your car and pay the $5.00 and more (in NYC) in gas prices for fucks sake.
