General Haberdashery II


My former weekend neighbor on the music news beat has two new posts over at his Lousy Reviews blog. Jeff Fernandez takes on Taco Bell's Beefy Crunch Burrito -- an experience that was apparently less positive than mine -- and Jack in the Box's new Chorizo Chili Cheesy Fries.

(I noticed the "Cheesy Fries" advertisement poster hanging in the window of my local Jack in the Box, but didn't realize there was a "...with chorizo chili..." option. See you soon, Jack.)

Jeff also spits in the eye of beer elitists everywhere with his review of
Walgreens' Big Flats 1901 Lager. Walgreens!

My friends over at Fish and Spaghetti introduce the universe to
high-end tortilla chips and a Ben & Jerry's flavor that might be delicious, but can't hold a candle to their Oatmeal Cookie Chunk.

Michael Melchor and I go way back to the 411mania.com days, so I couldn't be more pleased to see him still writing about music. This piece on the intersection of
nerd culture and music is gloriously geek-tastic.

Daniels and the
One New York Life blog have "...an unnatural hatred for Gwyneth Paltrow". I assume he also hates America.

85% Sports
explores the idea of St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols pulling down $150 million...per season! It might've been a typo, but I'm pleased to report I caught before he did.

Finally, m'man Movie Joe Reid has the second part of his
Spring Movie Preview up on the Low Resolution blog. Bashing Nic Cage? Yup. Kitschy love for an '80s soundtrack? Yup. Un-ironic use of "ridonk"? Oh, f*ck yup!

There is no such thing as an unnatural hatred for Gwyneth Paltrow. I hate that bitch, I hate her entitled, faux-intellectual (you went to a fucking hippie high school and then went to an arts school!), faux-erudite attitude. I hate her for acting like she's successful because of her meager talent (hard to not be successful when your parents are famous and your Godfather is Steven Spielberg). I wish she'd fuck off to England for good. For all she bitches about America I'd think she'd be happier there.

Come ON!
