I’m happy to report that Andrew W.K. has weighed in as a fan of Big Nick’s, one of my favorite burger places in the city. When I first started visiting here on my own in 2003 or so, I almost always (always?) stayed at On the Ave on the Upper West Side, and somehow [...]

It just wants to perform at your next corporate event.
(And for the record, I love disco.)

This is one of the most retarded looking “media arts” “projects” — and I use the term loosely — I’ve stumbled across lately. [DBTH]
Initially I’d thought about heading to the M.I.A. show last Friday, but I ended up turning down a last minute ticket. I heard it was a great show, but I’m now slightly [...]

The soda machine in the lunch room here in my office, up until recently, charged $0.85 for a soda, which I’ve never considered that unreasonable, especially given that (1) I’d probably pay $1.00 or $1.25 if I went to any one of the many bodegas within a block or two to get a soda, [...]

Apparently I’ve completely managed to sleep on this up until now, but I’ve dug on the Coen brothers ever since “Crimewave” — which I’ve griped before about not being able to find a DVD copy of — and will most definitely be going to check this on opening night. Malkovich, McDormand, Clooney, Pitt, Swinton… [...]
