Whirled News - God Expresses Despair Over Presidential Primaries 2008-03-07 11:33:00 A visibly exhausted God lapsed into a rare moment of despair today at His press conference following last night’s presidential primaries. “With these latest results, it’s looking like this campaign is going to drag on forever,” He said, “And until everyone stops talking about all these other issues, no one’s going to do anything about global warming. Because of hundreds of extra tons of hydrocarbon emissions in the atmosphere, Atlas has retired with crippling bursitis, and I’ve had to take over for him. Honest to Me, I can’t hold off this global warming all by Myself much longer.” Reporters tried to cheer Him up by pointing out that at least the Republican nominee was decided, but God saw little good news in that. “That alter kaker McCain may not live until the November Read more:Presidential
Single's Club#1 - Elevator Suite - "The Wheel" 2008-03-05 10:20:00 Label: Pure Mint Recordings Elevator Suite
's Myspace.Buy On:“Nothing is ever quite what it seems.” So insists ‘The Wheel’, the first single to be released from Elevator Suite’s self-titled second album. A sumptuous four-minute fusion of slick-heeled electronica and laconic, smoky vocals, the track is a pitch-perfect example of this critically acclaimed band’s ability to craft retro-minded slabs of chill-out pop that simultaneously soothe and psyche-up the soul.Following the tidal wave of radio-fuelled success and relentless press hype that surrounded their debut back in 1999, Elevator Suite fell foul of industry disillusionment and crumbling inter-band relationships, and parted ways with their then-label Mushroom in 2002.Now, having reconvened and recorded their most fully-rea

The Gay Republican #6 - Bad Taste Never Tasted So Great 2008-02-28 18:07:00 *** IRRELEVANT PREFACE: My unspoken battle of wills with my landlord ended last night. I wanted him to mow the lawn and he, apparently, did not want to mow it. He won...His wife told me on Monday night that the lawn mower was broken, which I suppose explains the Amazon growing in my front yard, but doesn’t really excuse it. And after an anonymous benefactor trimmed the hedges this weekend (Is the hedge trimmer broken too, Alex?) I felt compelled to borrow a mower from my neighbor across the street, and spend a cool evening collecting two full yard waste bins of grass clippings from my small front lawn. ***___________________________________A few weeks ago, my department at work relocated from the second floor of our building to the fourth. Not exactly an earth-shattering event, but a go Read more:Great

Hopewell - Beautiful Targets 2008-02-27 18:58:00 Label: Tee-PeeRating: 4 GunsBuy on: New York-based Hopewell, fronted by ex-Mercury Rev bass player, Jason Russo has been a critic’s darling from their inception. That’s understandable after listening to their new record “Beautiful
Targets.” Hopewell, much like their West coast counterparts, The Shore, are American Brit-Pop at its finest. Cinematic in nature, and giving bands from England a run for their money, the ever-innovative Hopewell has released another classic Indie Rock opus.The album starts off with “In Full Bloom” a slow, yet pretty song. It runs 3:10 before breaking right into “All Angels Road,” the album’s second track. This song rocks hard all the way through; as cinematic as it is heavy.“Bethlehem” has that 1960s Brit-pop feel, sweet from beginning to en
Whirled News - Outcry Against Negative Campaigning Grows 2008-03-12 00:48:00 A new voice joined the criticism of ex-Obama aide Samantha Power for calling Senator Hillary Clinton a “monster."“Calling Senator Clinton a monster is a deep personal insult to me,” said Ben Chapman, who donned a rubber suit to play the creature from the black lagoon in the 1954 horror movie of the same name.“It propagates the false stereotype of monsters as creatures who will do anything to take over and win, when in fact most of us monsters were really just misunderstood and were trying to protect our own turf.”Chapman did however concede one similarity between Senator Clinton and him. “I too had a devil of time squeezing into my outfit each day,” he said.Obama also gained a vote of confidence from a former Clinton White House worker, who decried Senator Clinton’s, “Who Read more:Negative
