The Midnight Archive: Anthropomorphic Taxidermy
It takes a true artist to make dead mice cute.
Continue reading...The Midnight Archive, Ep. 2: Occult NYC, Part 1
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
The second episode of a new series on the occult side of New York City. This is an interview with Mitch Horowitz—I've noticed some of the buildings he mentions, walking around Midtown.

Monday, October 4, 2010
I’ve always loved the demos that John Lennon recorded during his exile at the Dakota during the late 70s. This morning while browsing YouTube I unearthed this song, which I knew in an earlier, rougher version as “Help Me to Help Myself,” from the famous Lennon bootleg, “Dakota Beatle Demos.” This version’s nice, too. How [...]

Friday, May 28, 2010
Oh I know: you come here expecting documentaries about World War I, stuff like that. But there’s another side to me, the side that appreciates using Pro Tools to put mindless profanity into the mouth of the lead singer from Creed. On this Memorial Day weekend, remember that this is why so many brave men [...]
Continue reading...YouTube, Downfall parodies, and me
Thursday, May 6, 2010
If you’re reading this, you doubtless know about the “Downfall meme”—a running joke on the internet where a segment of the 2004 movie “Downfall” is used to express real or feigned outrage at something important or not so. Bruno Ganz, playing an embunkered Adolf Hitler, freaks out at his generals not over the conduct of [...]
Continue reading...Albert Goldman and Hunter Davies on Beatles Biographies
Wednesday, April 28, 2010
This is a two-part news program from 1989, where the author of the muckraking “The Lives of John Lennon” (just released at that time) debates Hunter Davies, the author of “The Beatles” authorized biography from 1968. Davies is very charming, and makes some very good points about Goldman’s tendency to veer off into—well, the nicest [...]

Wednesday, April 14, 2010
In my trawling for the previous post, I came across a YouTube video that was just too good not to share. For those of you who missed the memo (or only knew of him as a marcelled, wife-beating, PCP-crazed latenight joke), James Brown was a musical genius.

Tuesday, April 13, 2010
So baseball season is in full swing (har) here at Casa del Mike. Got the Gameday Audio package—only $19.95 for hometown radio broadcasts over the iMac, and Mike Shannon’s ridiculous St. Louis accent is worth twice that. Got a good team this year, got a definite underemployment situation, things are lining up perfectly. Baseball fans [...]

Tuesday, July 15, 2008
I’m taking a break from writing (blogging in particular) for the summer and maybe longer. But there is a controversy afoot, a tiny little tornado in a teacup that, like the ringing of Pavlov’s bell, has wrung an inevitable response from me. I’m just as God made me, folks, a simple satirist and ex-magazine person [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
