One Day as a Lion

2008-07-17T17:49:52Z

I have it on good authority that Zack de la Rocha is a douche and a hypocrite in his personal life, but as a music fan I must divorce such considerations from the equation when I listen to the product. His new project is called One Day as a Lion,...

Death of a Dream

2008-07-14T22:56:45Z

Fans, it is with a heavy heart that I report the end of Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman's relationship. Yep. I just read it. It's all over the gossip websites that my, uh, assistant reads and forwards to me. Terrible, the things they publish...

Tibetan Food

2008-07-13T19:04:42Z

We went to Cafe Shambala yesterday, which is a Tibetan eatery here in Salt Lake City, the Pearl of the Desert. I'd never had Tibetan food before. It turns out that it's very much like Indian food, except with more chili spice. They serve a lun...

What Madness Is This?

2008-07-05T17:25:14Z

The sea. It is a harsh mistress, a nagging wife, and the soothing bosom of a Thai ladyboy. We have been adrift for...days? Weeks? The passage of time is difficult to gauge, as the stars have changed in the night sky and I suspect we have ente...

Vox Hunt: The Unexplainable

2008-07-05T16:26:46Z

Show us something you can't explain. How did the flag lapel pin come to be the most pressing political issue of our day? Who wears one, who doesn't, who wears it occasionally, who didn't wear it until somebody pointed it out, who wears it but i...

"Jaws 2"

2008-07-05T05:21:25Z

I'm watching it on AMC right now. It's been awhile. Jaws is one of my favorite films, and the sequel is nothing more than a cheap knockoff with less talented people and a very obviously tired and resigned Roy Scheider, but it has a certain lunat...
