Larry King on Getting Seduced

"I'm playing these records. The phone rings and I pick it up: 'WAHR'. And this lady's voice--I can still hear her voice--she goes: 'I want you.'" - Larry King

Good Movies . . . You Wish You Never Saw

Today we turn our attention to a special kind of movie — the good movie we wish we never saw.
This is different from bad movies we wish we never saw.  We’re talking now about a type of movie that we think is good but that contains something so disturbing to us that we wish we never allowed it into our mind.

L.A. Blues: Aaron North's Sad Descent From Nine Inch Nails to Nowhere

Aaron North eases his dirty silver truck onto Sunset Boulevard and tells me how this is going to go. "I don't want to be interrogated," he says on this mid-summer night, sliding into Hollywood traffic. "We'll drive for a while, and I can just talk. Are you a rock'n'roll fan? I know so many stories. My head is full of that shit."

La Fistinière, petite maison (du fist-fucking) dans la prairie

Ce n’est pas une maison bleue accrochée à une colline. C’est une maison d’hôtes pour passionnés du « fist », cette pratique qui consiste à introduire une main, voire un bras dans un vagin ou un anus. C’est aussi un mythe, une maison qui étonne ou fait rire par son concept. Nous avons voulu rencontrer François, Juan Carlos et Nelly, les penseurs de ce lieu original.

Hill Farmstead Brewery: la meilleure brasserie du monde

What Miley Cyrus Teaches Us About Being Human

I hate to jump on the Miley Cyrus, ratchet culture, commodification-of-the-marginalized-life bandwagon just as it seems that the flurry of posts and articles has died down. But I’m diving in. I’m putting my two cents down because I think the conversation that unfolded in the media is missing an essential point that has an impact on all of us.

What Miley did at the MTV Video Music Awards last week became such a spectacle not only because it was thought to be out of character, not even because it was not done particularly well, but it was this past week’s media circus because it pointed out how we as human beings—despite race, class, gender, and sexuality divides—are all more alike than we are different. A country darling turned Disney princess is attracted to and expressing herself within a ratchet culture image? How dare she break through those rigid identity camps!

The Southern Cassowary - The Most Dangerous Bird on Earth

Ask a ten year old what the largest bird in the world is and the chances are you will get the right answer – the ostrich. Asked about the second largest and the odds are still very good that they will be able to name the Emu. Go for third place in the size league and you may well start to get blank looks from all but the keenest young ornithologist. The answer is the Cassowary – and not only is it endangered but is also classified as the world’s most dangerous bird.
