Happy 4-20! To celebrate you should go to a record store. And you shouldn’t go to any old record store, but an independent record store filled with Pretentious Record Store Guys like me. 🙂 Seriously, why go to a mall and pay $20 to buy from a pimple faced high schooler with a smock when […]

In that rare instance when that comic comes around you cherish it and hope that it never ends. 100 Bullets is one such comic. Unfortunately, the series has just begun […]
Next Tuesday Feb. 5th is Super Tuesday, so the Parade of Freaks wanted to remind everyone to go out and vote in the primaries. Who has won the Parade’s admiration and vote this season? Why, none other than Mr. Barack Obama. Why? Because he is an Agent of C.H.A.N.G.E. What is C.H.A.N.G.E.? Change is Citizens […]

30 Most Underrated Albums of the Last 10 Years What do critics know? Nothing or else they would be in a band making music. Fuck the critics, especially rock critics. Most of them are thirty to forty year olds, predominantly male, slighlty balding, potential pedophilles who live in their parents’ basement and have little to […]
Everything you need to know about a band you can find in their name. Naming your band may be the most important thing you’ll ever do in your entire life.
