I don’t have much to say this morning, as I woke up feeling like utter crap, so I’ll just let Team Robespierre speak for me, as this is a sentiment I echo quite often every day. I’m not kidding - I actually find a deep canyon with thick, reverberating walls and scream at the top [...]

I’m sorry, but no matter how indie you are, there’s no valid reason for your CD to have a fecal aroma to it, even if it’s in Europe, where that kind of stuff is generally more accepted. I don’t know WHAT the workers at the plant where they package Mugison’s CD are doing, but I [...]

Dear THE WOMBATS, You valiantly project your unbridled nipples upon my delicate eyes.  I blush and look away like a shy japanese teenager, covering my mouth and giggling to my friends as if someone just accidentally said the word “penis.”     There’s something about men’s nipples that makes me uncomfortable.  I feel that their symmetry and shape [...]

Last night was supposed to be the highly anticipated Guitar Hero 3 Wii-Fi showdown between Uncensored Interview and Joost. I use the phrase “supposed to be,” because it didn’t end up happening. Some may blame Joost for cowardice on their part. Others may point to something silly like a firewall issue on both ends suppressing [...]

I am a meat lover. And an indie music lover.  Must I be at odds?  I don’t think so.  I want the opposite of straight edge. There’s a big indie movement in meat and food in general these days with the whole buying local craze.  Isn’t buying meat from farmers and not through the corporate meat [...]

Shark was correct that the phrase “giving it the old college try” seems incorrect, since most people try very little in college.  Unless you are referring to drugs or experimental sex.  In which case, “Giving it the old college try” does in fact denote a total willingness to do anything at the drop of a [...]

Though I can’t answer “What did you do this weekend?” in a way that makes me proud, I have pwned Guitar Hero.  On Easy, yes, but pwned nonetheless.  Take that video game! The only songs I couldn’t really get on first try were by Slayer and Dragonforce, two bands I think are otherworldly awesome (I was [...]

You’d think with a name like Plants and Animals, this Montreal trio would have respect for both flora and fauna. But even lead singer Warren C. Spicer (great porn name, by the way) admits that while he tries to dodge meat as much as he can, he’s certainly not one to turn down a free [...]

The Wombats on the animal kingdom: “Dolphins are the only ones that have casual sex. Because they enjoy it.” Team Robespierre on the touring hell: “The van broke down in the heart of Death Valley. That was kind of crazy because we were stuck there for three days. The only thing in the town was [...]

I’m not sure what sort of fabulous prizes The Wombats have in mind for their funny-face challenge, but I bet you it’ll be something kick-ass, like an autographed copy of their new album, or a dead fetus on a scimitar. I really don’t know how those two even correlate, but they’re the first items that [...]
