Stephen Mejias

This dude, Patrick">http://poptartssucktoasted.blogspot.com/2009/11/live-review-fucked-up-b… Duffy, does a good job of detailing last night’s Fucked Up show at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple in charming Fort Greene. On a tree-lined, brownstoned block, in an old and ornate shrine, Fucked Up, joined by New Jersey’s Vivian Girls on backing vocals and Andrew WK on synths, made a scene. I kept a safe distance from the anarchy, up in the urine-scented balcony, with the other parents.

The people behind Atocha">http://atochadesign.com/index.html">Atocha Design want you to get your records off the floor. Hmm, have they been snooping around my apartment? Have they seen the ever-expanding mess of vinyl propped up against footstools and bookshelves? I want to get my records off the floor, too. (Help.)

Look at this and wonder: "Why doesn't Brother Stephen own this beautiful piece of art? It obviously has his name written all over it. What gives?"

Now look at this and drool. You want it, you need it, you gotta have it: Sub Pop's deluxe edition of Nirvana's Bleach, available November">http://www.subpop.com/releases/nirvana/full_lengths/bleach_deluxe_editi… 3.

Effi Briest sort of reminds me of Gang Gang Dance. And I like that. Check out this dizzying video for "Mirror Rim."
