Last week I got to interview Robert Smigel for almost two hours and he seemed to enjoy himself. Since Smigel has been so prolific over the past 25 years or so of his career we could have a two-hour conversation everyday and never talk about the same thing twice.
I read my first article about Smigel back in the late 80s and early 90s when...

I got change to talk with FF drummer Raymond Herrera about the last tour, his other band Kush and where the...

Stacy. if you ever read this, thanx for skating, and thanx for making your films!
As Ive stated before in previous introductions I was in film school in the early 1990s. Therefore my friends and I had enjoyed Slacker many times on video and we all hit the theatre when Dazed and Confused came out. So Richard Linklater has had a very strong but also very subtle influence on me. I think it was after seeing those films that I...

If you live in the Los Angeles area and you're cool then most likely youve heard The 88 on the radio. But if not then prepare to be blown away by the band that Tower Records selected as their band of the week.
Publications like Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly have been singing the praises of Keith Slettedahl and the rest of the band for...

Yes, 88 in neo-nazi/white supremacist symbolism stands for Heil Hitler, where h is the 8th letter of the alphabet, hence 88=hh.
Also generally preceeded by a 14, referring to the 14 word creedo "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."
Cute, huh?

There are 88 keys on a piano, there are 88 constellations, there are also 88 counties in California. It's about as likely that The 88 are Nazi's as Tobey McGuire is of becoming the Pope. Please.......

Leiner had previously directed a lot of TV and Dude, Where's My Car? Now, I saw Dude, Where's My Car? and I enjoyed it, I thought it was funny at...

Melissa Auf der Maurs long awaited solo album is finally here. Its a culmination of her work with the bands, Smashing Pumpkins and Hole, and is deeply personal. So personal in fact that Auf der Maur shunted all record labels and produced the entire album herself. This of course gave her complete control over who to work with and she chose Chris Goss as her...

What a pompous butthole. How about accomplishing something before walking around like you created the earth.

I have another cartoon Ive wanted to do about the Disney vault, which is one of the most cretinous creations in marketing history, Sleeping Beauty is going into the Disney vault! You wont be able to buy Sleeping Beauty for ten years. I wanted to do a cartoon about kids who wanted to live in the Disney vault where all the good cartoons are. Then they go into the vault and there is all this awful stuff in there like Walt Disneys frozen head and Nazi paraphernalia. Just every awful rumor there ever was about Disney is confirmed in the vault.
he finally made this one!!!!
