That's It.
I'm moving to France.

Radiskull Addiction!
If you're like me, you're waiting on baited breath for the latest installment of the adventures of Radiskull and Devil Doll. And if you're like A.V. Phibes, you write a comic about it. Go on, kick it!

Maple Flavoured Women
Marigoldzine strikes again, this time with a great series of printable 1-page posters lauding the achievements of Canadian women. It's modeled on the Geurrilla Women's History Project, found here. So, so cool.

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

So many things to look forward to in the next two weeks: my birthday (thank you, Matt, for the still-unopened present!), getting to see Mr. Boy on my birthday, going out of town on my birthday, going to two weddings (including the sure to be fabulous nuptials of Hellsbelle and The Bishop), lounging on the beach, reading whatever I want, staying w/'Belle & Bish for a few days prior to their wedding, and then coming home to recover for a few days before Philly friends come for a long visit. It boggles the mind just how good my fortune is. I'll be updating through Thursday morning, and then I'm out of here til July 2. E-mail me if you want (illegibly scrawled) postcards from the road.

Duuuuude.
Matt is my psychic twin today! Check out his selected quote from Pagan Kennedy's book, Platforms: A Microwaved Cultural Chronicle of the 70s. Rock out.

The Seventies
Apparently, they weren't just the decade of bad polyester and spectacularly hideous interior design. According to Bruce Schulman, they were the decade that made everything that we now take for granted possible. The steady creep towards national conservatism? Check. Rampant free trade and the increased brazilification of the social classes? Check. Bands like Weezer and the Donnas? Right, again! This is yet another addition to my ever-growing list of summer reading mania. (It occurs to me that I may have mentioned this book in an earlier entry. But that may be only because I've been thinking about it quite a bit lately.)

Lies Budweiser Told You
Flakmag strikes again, with another smart & sassy shot at corporate America. This time, they tell the tale of how Anheuser-Busch has managed to keep a (probably much better) beer out of the US market because it's name is too close to their flagship product, Budweiser.

Now I've Seen It All
When did Entertainment Weekly start profiling obscure little Icelandic bands? Or name-checking Godspeed? I like that the band members clearly thought the questions were way stupid. Because they were.
