Zineeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy

Thanks to Kelsey I have about 30 copies of Issue 18 of Foul. I have to transcribe four interviews for Issue 19 and my goal for this evening is to have the writing part of Issue 20 done by the time I pass out. Unlike the first 10 issues of Foul I'm not listening to Bad Religion. It would seem odd to hear anything political while writing about the time I was crucified in church.

The heat got turned on. Now it's too hot. My cheeks are red.

I'm still trying to understand Dane Cook's popularity.

Her distance made me appreciate

The Nightmare Before Christmas is getting a re-release as a 3-D film later this month. To cash in Disney is re-releasing the soundtrack with covers by Marilyn Manson, Fiona Apple, Fall Out Boy, She Wants Revenge and Panic! At the Disco. Four of these tunes are on the Nightmare myspace page. I've been listening to Fiona Apple's version of "Sally's Song" for almost an hour.

The song plays an integral part in the movie but it never stood out. With Jon Brion's production (I think he produced it) and extremely melancholy lyrics the ditty sounds like it could only be from Apple.

God damn, this is a great song.

A van is on fire in Hickory Hills and the children upstairs are running.

I tend to agree with the man

"The Simpsons" shouldn't make fun of hip-hop. The one's with The Who and Elvis Costello work because like The Who and Elvis Costello, "The Simpsons" writers are rich, old and white.

Amazon.com is wonderful

44. Adam Langer "The Washington Story"

I was happy to find out Langer wrote a sequel to his debut "Crossing California". I enjoyed both books and hope the author pounds out a third novel.

I'm watching "Oprah".
