New favorites, old glamour 2008-09-23 20:22:00 Though I pledge allegiance to a variety of awe-inspiring magazines (Tokion, Dazed and Confused, Adbusters, VenusZine) I always have room in my heart & bookstand for one more. I present to you: Mean Magazine. My new favorite. Interesting, different, entertaining and weird. Here's one of their videos: Mean Magazine Presents James McAvoy in The Dream from Mean Magazine on Vimeo. Read more:favorites

Ms. Pamela Des Barres 2008-09-22 23:02:00 Original groupie, member of the psychedelic sisterhood The GTOS and writer Pamela
Des Barres will be gracing dear San Francisco with her divine presence next week. Des Barres is probably best know for her memoir "I'm With the Band" but she also was thisclose buddies with Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa and frequently frequented Jimmy Page's satin sheets. Shit man. Color me stoked:PAMELA DES BAR
Palin update 2008-09-18 21:43:00 Lady Palin canceled her California visit. I guess those Orange County wifeys are going to have to find something else to do with their afternoon. Sorry Palin-lovers. Here's a video to demonstrate how stupid you are:
Moofus 2008-08-27 16:52:00 If I could ask God for a different life, I'd probably ask him to rewind me back to 11 years old, make me Australian, kick me down some artistic skills, and the ability to come up with the moniker "Moofus."A bit about Moofus, in his own words:Bio:My name is Milan, I am nearly 11 years old.I do stuff with skateboards, pizza, pencils, paper and water.Sometimes, even, at the same time.I am scared of t
It's vintage 2008-08-24 12:41:00 These lovely little bags are made from classic car fabrics that were never used. Super unique and adorable. The price is right. Lovely textiles. Detail and craftsmanship. I feel like a salesgirl. Srsly. And since the shit is reusing materials, it's considered green-friendly. This one's my favorite. So don't buy it. And this one's sweet too.Kim White Handbags
HIPSTER RUNOFF 2008-08-16 21:35:00 I know I know, you hate being called a hipster. I would never call you a hipster. NEVER. This blog isn't for you. This blog is for people with a sense of humor.HIPSTER RUNOFF "s000 rand0m, but kinda authentic in a post-meaningful kinda way..."
What we do is secret 2008-08-15 11:08:00 It's a guilty pleasure, I know it. Watching "babe" actor Shane West ("E.R," "A Walk to Remember") writhing and gallivanting a la Darby Crash, infamous lead singer of 1980s punk act The Germs. A guilty, guilty pleasure. But it hurts so good.One week only beginning Aug. 29 :"What We Do Is Secret" - the story of the Germs starring Shane West and Bijou Phillips as Lorna Doom.Lumiere Theatre, 1572 Cal
Evan Hayden's art... 2008-08-14 01:27:00 ...is the shit! Evan Hayden
I don't know a whole lot about him... yet... but so far what I know I like. A major fan of Kate Bush, enjoys Echo & the Bunnymen more than me, gets obliterated from a couple lemon drops, and is amazingly creative with the aesthetic of a horror fan. I liiiike.
Married To The Sea 2008-08-13 00:47:00 I've had Married To The Sea in my blog feed for awhile now, and it never ceases to disappoint. Created by Drew and Natalie Dee, MTTS pairs old timey and instructional drawings with modern captions. Sounds too simple to be funny, but the resulting comic babies are hilarious...sometimes really fucking bizarre, but yeah, always hilarious.Drew's other comic, which also updates daily at midnight is Too
Light reading 2008-08-07 15:25:00 No matter how stressed I am, I inevitably end up seeking out the weird, wonderful and true stories posted daily on Reuter's "Oddly Enough" section.Check the short, blurby stories here. Also check the photo gallery.The picture posted here is clearly from said gallery.Visitors to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) look at an artwork called Novecento in Sydney June 24, 2008. The work, by Italian-b
head trip 2008-08-06 00:56:00 The problem: It's cold in San Francisco, cold and windy, all the time. Even in the dead of "summer" I find myself shivering on my walk to the bus stop and my walk home, pretty much any time I am outside. In addition, I have an abnormally large head and most hats looks stupid on me.The solution: Monica Burnett's handmade headbands (and hats). They're yarn-spun gold and come in lovely colors. Some f
Jerk Roommates 2008-08-05 23:23:00 Meet Evan:Yes, he is a sexy man with bitchin' tattoos. This is clear. What you cannot learn from a photo, however, is that Evan is funnier that 98% of the people you know and/or will meet. This is fact. He has the kind of twisted wit and perfect comedic timing that makes sitting around watching TV with him feel like the most fun you will ever have in your entire life.Evan is also a talented and am
Women 2008-08-02 10:25:00 This is taken pretty much directly from the press release but, you're doing good. There's been a little bit of tweaking, baby tweaking.Jagjaguwar will release Women

The Midwest Teen Sex Show 2008-08-02 00:23:00 I'm a little bit drunk, which is going to make this post a lot easier.I LOVE TALKING ABOUT SEX. I really do. I spend a majority of my time thinking and talking about sex, mostly at work, over e-mail with girlfriends. The sad thing is that we're all of a certain age now that we really shouldn't be asking each other the questions we always ask. None of us are doctors. None of us know how effective t Read more:Midwest
Anvil! The Story of Anvil 2008-08-01 13:39:00 You know how when you're watching "Spinal Tap" (because you totally do that all the time) you can't help but wonder what it would be like if the band was real, the documentary was real, and you could really go watch their live show? What if the story was about a group of Jewish Canadian rockers who just can't seem to catch a break? It would be called "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" and it would blow
Beards, banjos and babes 2008-07-31 20:23:00 This is a post dedicated to all things Lexi Lee. Who is this adorable, crafty and talented lady you may be asking yourself? She's the ultimate creator - of stuffed dinosaurs, special new books and songs about facial hair.You can check (and perhaps purchase?) her deadly-addictive crafts here: Handmade by me!And you can listen to her sweet voice and banjo-playing (along with two equally talented me

Team Vizeau 2008-07-31 00:41:00 How do I follow up the advancement theory?! Is this genius, bc I'm sure a big chunk of the population's not that into it but somebody thought it was brilliant... a new approach to men's swimwear, and it's for real. (props to my co-worker alice for showing me the light).From their website:"Vizeau is the most influential e-tailer for Men's Designer Swimwear and Activewear. Our team develops collecti

Carving out a presidential niche 2008-10-30 14:57:00 Halloween is just around the corner (11 hours and counting) so what better way to show your Obama support then to carve a pumpkin in his likeness? The website www.yeswecarve.com features patterns for aspiring jack-o-lantern artists and images of those who've already created their holiday masterpieces. The one above is a random pic, based solely on the badical stylings of this boy's pumpkin: Read more:niche
