Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be released on July 7th. I personally can’t wait, having read all the books and seen all the movies. “Is this normal for a thirty something,“ I ask myself as I stare into my Dora the Explorer mirror while cuddling my Shrek doll? Of course it is, you idiot! This is a classic coming of age tale set in the world of magic and mayhem. With...
4.23.07 @ MERCURY LOUNGE It took a lot to separate me from the TV and a VH1 classic rewind of Damn Yankees last week. Tommy Shaw’s stonewashed man shorts and Ted Nugent’s kill it and grill it self were about to rope me in for a second time. Anyway, I managed to escape, and catch the Noisettes at the Mercury Lounge. It’s always exciting to see a band with your own eyes, as the “next...
3.12.07 @ Webster Hall OK let’s get one thing straight. Ex-Clash bassist Paul Simonon is the coolest guy ever! He even lights a cigarette better than anyone I’ve ever seen. He’s right out of a Godard film. Damon Albarn and his Bowery Boy top hat, led the charge along with Simonon and ex-Verve guitarist Simon Tong. Albarn’s collection of downtrodden yet somehow uplifting Dickens-like ballads captured the sold out room. The early 20th century carnivalesque...

Royal Flush Book IV has received its first official review from none other than the highly regarded Media Post’s Magazine Rack, and man, it’s a whopper. So much so that the crew at Flush HQ were actually blushing. With quotes like; “…Royal Flush displays more creativity in its first 25 pages than most publications do in a year”, “Any conversation about Royal Flush should probably begin with the mag’s design, which is rich with lavish...

If you’re like me and were eight years old when Transformers first hit the scene then chances are that you’ve been waiting for this movie for close to 20 years. I’ve been loyal follower of the Transformers TV show and toys since that fateful Christmas Eve when my aunt gave me my first Autobot, the good old break-dancing fool, Jazz. So it’s no small wonder that I needed to see just what Michael Bay would...

How long does it take to become Jerry Only? Well it could be done in fifteen minutes, but usually I need a good half an hour. Favorite Misfits song of all time and why? “American Nightmare,” and “Astro Zombies” too. We did “American Nightmare” in the studio you know. Just made it up on the spot. We started playing and Googy jumped in with a beat. Very spontaneous, that’s why I liked it. Least favorite...
