About

Why the title? I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. As in, "You've got some front row seats fo' the apocalypse, biatch!" Rat-tat-tat-tat!!

Now welcome to the least hardcore blog on the planet, manned by a mid-twenties white boy from San Francisco with too much time on his hands.

In Current Rotation

Beck - Guero: I'm not usually the biggest Beck fan, but this album is pretty irresistable.

Audioslave - Out of Exile: I was surprised by how much I liked the Audioslave debut, and this one seems like more of the same. Just good, hard, solid rock. Tom Morello is amazing.

Gorillaz - Demon Days: I get a little tired of Gorillaz and have a hard time listening to an entire album without skipping tracks. But when they get it right, they get it right. And "Feel Good Inc.", iPod-related overexposure aside, gets it right.

Spoon - Gimme Fiction: I heard this one for the first time months ago and was disappointed, feeling like it didn't have the gems of 'Kill the Moonlight.' But a few more listens have got me digging this one a lot more. It's true it has fewer standouts, but overall it's a musical step forward for a really good band.

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth: Now I remember why I used to like NIN so much back in high school.

Blogs I Love

The Best Page in the Universe: The one, the only, the Maddox. His updates have been increasingly sparse, but there are some truly legendary pieces in his back catalog (check out the one on "extreme" foods).

Surgical Strikes: The opposite of my blog: short, sweet, no Bruce McGill references. But it's also very clever and delightfully random.

One Louder: It's NY focused, but One Louder is a great source of info about indie and up-and-coming bands.

Stereogum: Another great blog about celebrity, music, and general insanity.

Gizmodo: The Bible of tech gadget blogs, Gizmodo covers an amazingly wide variety of "cool shit."

All Things Christie: Brilliant, clever and insanely hot. Christie - I submit to you.

The Superficial: Ripping idiotic celebrities to shreds with maximum sarcasm - an irresistable recipe.

Screenhead: A great source of bizarre and fascinating tidbits.

The Phat Phree: It's very Onion-esque, but can copying the Onion be a bad thing?

Ben's Bargains: Before dropping $400 on an iPod, check this site out. Some real steals to be found here

Pink is the New Blog: Priceless, bitchy commentary about ridiculous celebrities.

Egotastic: More celeb commentary. Not as consistently clever as Pink, but occasionally hits the mark.

I Will Be False To You: Just the links, baby. A great way to waste a lot of time.

Crying While Eating: I don't know that actually watching the videos adds that much, but the completely bizarre and random concept of this site makes my piss myself.
