Harvey Pekar is dead, everyone read the American Splendour comics, they rule. Basically he was one of the first guys to do uh smaller-scale everyday-life stuff in comic books, a style which later turned into the whole cliche of MY SELF-ABSORBED LOVE LIFE BY: A BORING COLLEGE KID (cf jeffrey brown and that one asshole who literally drew a whole story which was just pictures of famous black artists with little captions saying "hell yeah miles davis was my nigga see not racist"). But anyway Pekar's worked because he was actually interested in the people he talked to and the stuff that happened every day as a file clerk in cleveland and that came through in the stories. They made a movie which was pretty good too. He was like seventy and had health problems so maybe it's no surprise that he died but he still managed to take small everyday moments from a world which still feels almost invisible in media and made them compelling (also fucking funny just so this doesn't get too sappy)


Man it feels like I only post here when someone's dead :( here's a really amazing video from Earnest Scared Stupid (the best earnest) to make up for it


There's something really offputting about this and other compilation clips from shitty old movies, because they get stripped of all context in the story and just become kind of upsetting images. I watched some random clip from the Super Mario Bros movie recently and it involved Dennis Hopper and Bob Hoskins grimacing at each other in bizarre outfits while they slowly disintegrated and Hopper kept screaming WE'RE MELDING and it was probably nothing in the context of the film but by itself it was absolutely horrifying.

How is Billy Corrigan, leader of defunct , weepy1990s band the Smashing Pumpkins, like the official sound of the World Cup, the vuvuzela?

They both make less annoying sounds when shoved up Courtney Love’s ass.

american pop has finally gotten so inane that producers don't even pretend to make different songs anymore.

it should be noted that the only tool to mix these songs was cutting between them, in other words neither song was edited at all

so you are a really nice guy and yet you are still going with making your body a living cage?!? or when you are going to figure out your shit. like i don't think you are the worst scum on this planet it's just NOT POSSIBLE. the real scum don't even think about things or feel shamed of the things they do. they don't even care :(

welp i guess i'm offending and you take this just as an effort to CURE YOU (depression...disease...) but being somebody with a long, deep depression and a huge self-loather i know how you feel... at least you or buttkiller care :(
i'm in the middle of figuring out my life and it gives a lot of answers! i think i know now why i want to live on. still have to figure out why though but so far it's been good.

EDIT like ugh bonzi buddy/ramci way (worried about everything and everyone), i have to REASON things really but it works.

the rant man is back! i could have sworn he was dead.

don't think he can top this one, though

i still hope he keeps up with the trend of timing his rants with music.

Niger please.

Edit: why doesn't a website exist called nigernation.

Proof
www.nigernation.net
www.nigernation.com
www.nigernation.org

I'm just saying you would think some hillbilly with computer would make such a site.

So I bought a 160gb iPod classic off of Amazon last week and it already broke.  I put all music on it then when I went to add more there was an error and said I had to restore it to factory settings so I did and then I had to put the music on it again.  Was working for like 2 days then after work the screen was frozen.  I plug it into iTunes and it said it wasn't recognized and that I should restore it again, so I clicked to do that and then after a long wait it said it was corrupt or damaged.  I'm returning it.  I don't really like iPods, I only got it because it was 160gb because I have around 190gb of music.

So if you say nigger in a stereotypical black voice, it's acceptable.
