It seems I write about auctions, KISS and cruises most often. I suppose it’s because I find it stunning that people care about any of these things.

Jann Wener: An arrogant aging queen giving both rock and homosexuality a bad name

Here Comes My Baby – Yo La Tengo – Plays off the lick and plays it straight – A

Surrounded by two young assistants, Lynch looked serene during the whole time, talking to people, probably happy to see that so many people are buying him as a blues star. I am joking

I already see this Tsarnaev picture pinned on the walls of adolescents’ rooms, since the guy has already a few female admirers.

It is beyond stupid, it is an insult

As non fans of Kings Of Leon go, I am a pretty big fan.

Loretta looks beautiful, stunningly beautiful what a warm event. Of course there is no way I would go in a million years but it seems just lovely
