Boys have had to way too easy for far too long. Back in the day, it was either budgie smugglers or a pair of knee-covering boardies. Not exactly a hard choice. The only problem is that no matter how many boardies you owned, they all produced the same look. A bit like Zoolander with his [...]

Londonist (Free subscription) | 11/26/2009

If there is one thing you don't expect from a Luke Haines gig, it's jokes.

Old Fart's Almanac (Free subscription) | 11/15/2009

As I write this, I have a small green bird on my shoulder, a beautiful budgie (who looks like a little fluffy cloud) in a cage next to me, and a Meyers Parrot sitting on top of his cage grinding his beak. Our two "big guys" are in the kitchen, covered, and sleeping. That's five birds. There are five birds in my house. How did this happen ? How did I end up with a house full of birds ? How...
