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.

For today’s installment, we’d like to buy an “E,” Vanna, and then solve…
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…
Trent Reznor Croons on New Nine Inch Nails Track, “God Break Down the Door”
Listen to the first track from the upcoming ‘Bad Witch’ EP… it’s classic Nails, with a twistLast week, Nine Inch Nails announced the June 22 release of the Bad Witch EP (as well as a huge tour with the Jesus and Mary Chain, dates below), completing a hat trick of EPs that began with 2016’s Not the Actual Events and Add Violence, which was released last summer ahead of the band’s spine-tingling set to close…
