“Coil”:http://www.brainwashed.com/coil was one of those bands in my record collection I was almost ashamed to admit I liked. Probably because people would hear me listening to it and say, “you like this? Regardless, Coil had a pedigree to blaze trails, being founded by a founding member of Throbbing Gristle, and blaze Coil did. [...]

I worked as a snack bar attendant in a Colorado country club in the early post-college years. It was a great way to make tons of cash, and the job entailed being very busy in the morning, at lunchtime, and watching golf on television with the golf shop staff during the rest of the [...]

Would Steve McQueen Do This Again?

A few Halfass visitors will have hazy recollections of a death defying stealth mission into the Gulf of Mexico under red flag conditions. Tikihead and Trav the Mav are among the daredevils planting said flag about twenty yards offshore Destin, Florida.

Will Evil Prevail?

July 31st, 2002 · No Comments

Ultimately, not.
That’s the short answer. But here I sit, facing the death of one of my close friends, being crushed beneath a mountain of twelve hour days, ever-expanding ass planted firmly in chair, the days getting shorter.
