The Mighty Mighty Bosstones Have A New Song From a New Album For A New Era
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are back, and they’re doing what they do best: releasing a new album full of important social statements, all dressed up like a big ol’ party. Current events inspired much of the subject matter on While We’re At It—and the Plaid Boys of Boston are set to self-release the new album on June…
Pig Follows Ohio Man Home for Some Love, Ends Up in the Back of a Cop Car
The North Ridgeville (Ohio) Police Department thought they were dealing with your standard “drunk guy calls 911 to report a non-existent pig following him home at 5:30am.” Who hasn’t been there before? When the police caught up with the man—whom they’d expected was very drunk, remember—he was walking a straight line… with a pig following…
24-Karat Gold Chicken Wings Are a Thing You Can Waste Your Money On
A restaurant in New York City has 24-karat gold chicken wings on the menu. These wings are brined, coated with a house-made dry rub, baked, flash-fried, and then coated in a layer of gold dust. If you want to waste $45, they’ll give you 10 golden wings to eat and subsequently turn into gold poop;…
Waxing Off on ‘Cobra Kai’ and the Death of the Cheesy Cinematic Training Montage
The ’80s Favorite Way to Remind Everyone of What’s Going On Needs a Training Montage of its OwnWith 10 half-hour episodes, the (outstanding) new YouTube Red series Cobra Kai does for 1984 film The Karate Kid what Ryan Coogler’s Creed did for the Rocky hexology: exhibiting affectionate reverence to the occasionally ludicrous lore of its predecessors, without degenerating (that much) into smirking nostalgiabation. Somewhat surprisingly, it only features one real, legit throwback training montage… probably because five hours…
That’s The Way I Like It Baby: Double Down on This New Mötorhead Merch
Few things in life are certain besides death, taxes, and the fact that everyone on earth looks at least 50 percent cooler when they’re wearing a Motörhead t-shirt. Artist Joe Petagno’s “Warpig” logo (which he created by combining a dog skull, a gorilla skull, and boar teeth, in case you’ve ever wondered) is one of rock’s most…
Getting To Know Late Australian Guitar G.O.D. Lobby Loyde
What would you say if I told you that there was a guitar player who is touted as a legend in Australia, but has steadily remained basically a non-entity in the States for five decades? Whose influence casts equal shadow over the arena stomp of AC/DC, the proto-punk mania of Radio Birdman, the most squalling…
Riot Fest Adoptable Puppy of the Week: Camero
Camero snorts like a piggy when he’s excited. He also has a tendency to jump up when he wants attention, and needs some help working on keeping four on the floor. He takes treats gently and doesn’t always eat them right away… he saved some for later. When I was down at his level, he…
