Shiny things go bing bing
It was either French philosopher Rene Descartes or Full House's Dave Coulier who said, "Isn't it funny where life takes us?" In my last blog, I unceremoniously begged for future blog topics. I also made one reference to Mortal Kombat. So beener48 said… "and since you brought up the topic, maybe you could do a […]
The Classics According to Keith - Space Invaders
Every Time I Die frontman Keith Buckley waxes cinematic on the more important films of our time. Sort of. SPACED INVADERS (1990) STARS: Absolutely Nobody. THE PLOT: Outer space was the Will Smith of the last part of the 20th century: All any uninspired hack writer had to do if he or she […]
I'm a blogger Dottie, a rebel.
I've been thinking a lot about the recently announced Get Up Kids reunion that is coming down the (Mass) pike in 2009. And while I'm always up to see a killer band from my teenage years one more time, I have to say that I'm not nearly as excited about the whole thing as I thought I […]
Based on true events
Geez. That's what I call a groundswell of support. If Team Tim T-Shirts aren't an official addition to the AP merch line within the next fiscal quarter, then it's clear I have no idea what a fiscal quarter is. (Which is likely.) Honestly, though, it's nice to know so many people would sport […]
Taking orders now
In an exercise in unbridled narcissism, and at the probably mistaken urging of several readers, I've decided to market my own line of merchandise. Just look: Tim Karan said… That's it.I'm initiating a limited print run of "Team Tim" t-shirts as we speak.Ooh, instead, I think I might have them say "Team Tim T-Shirt."That's […]
Levels of unthinkable disgrace
There's been a lot of talk lately. While, yes, it is true that I got a haircut, rumors have been swirling about the AP blogosphere with unsubstantiated claims that I bite (or have previouslyengaged in biting) the heads off of cats. I didn't want to bring it up, but it all stemmed from a certain AP staffer being upset that […]
The Easy Way Out
Regardless of what anyone says, Alternative Press Magazine, STILL hasn't sold out. IF we HAD sold out, we would have turned into one of the above-pictured magazines. Jonas Brothers, HSM3, Miley and so on. The above magazines are created by people that have sold out. Whenever a new movie sensation or teen-bop band […]
Things I Think I Learned This Week
There was one six-day span in college during which my roommate and I did nothing except play Tekken 2 and occasionally go out into the hall and run directly at each other to see who would be left standing. This past week was slightly more eventful than that. Let's get right to a few things I think […]
Thank You
I've been home all day with a massive cold since I attended a day-long rally on Sunday for, now, President-Elect Obama here in Cleveland. That day started off great- no clouds in the sky and just a bit chilly but by the time we got done waiting four hours in line and getting up […]
The Classics According to Keith - Real Genius
Every Time I Die frontman Keith Buckley waxes cinematic on the more important films of our time. Sort of. REAL GENIUS (1985) STARS: Val Kilmer, Gabe Jarret, William Atherton THE PLOT: This is undoubtedly the pioneer film in which a zany rabble-rouser, who knows a thing or two about fun, shows a bunch […]
Precariously near the table's edge
So this is kind of a very special blog. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with music and not even anything to do with fantasy football. But I received some sad news this evening and I figured that I would completely exploit my blog as a means of catharsis. […]
I Know I'm Kind of Peculiar
I know I'm kind of peculiar. I realize that normal people don't forget to eat for entire days. Clearly, I'm clueless at life. However, I think I've got a vague idea what I'm doing when it comes to music. Aside from a few glaring sore thumbs (Chevelle among them), I think I can typically tell […]
PSA From Rachel
So, we are officially less than a month away from the presidential election. Regardless of your political affiliation, I think everyone is ready for some kind of change, and it's a very exciting time in the history of our country. No matter who wins in November, history will be made. If you're 18 or older, you NEED to register to vote. […]

Tim Karan is kind of awesome
(I promise this blog isn't a lie like the last one. I'm an unreliable narrator by nature, but I'm not usually that bad.) I know what you're thinking. "It was only a matter of time before Tim's rampant egocentrism and constant self deprecation led to inevitably referring to himself in the third person." And while you're probably […]
Long journey to the middle.
Holy shit. I have actual blog requests. I was shocked, son. If four people came back at me with four requests, I can only imagine the seas of submissions Max Bemis has gotta be swimmin' in as we speak. But I'm a blogger of my word, and I was really into all the ideas, so I'm gonna […]
The Classics According to Keith - The Ice Pirates
Every Time I Die frontman Keith Buckley waxes cinematic on the more important films of our time. Sort of. THE ICE PIRATES (1984) STARS: Robert Urich, Anjelica Huston, Bruce Vilanch THE PLOT: I was 20 minutes into this penetration-less movie before I realized that it was actually called ICE Pirates. But, since […]
Far more hyperbolic
For as self-obsessed as I am, I'm still always completely caught off-guard when I'm confronted with the fact that people actually pay attention to the stuff I write. Maybe it's just me. Maybe losing that election to be my 7th grade homeroom representative had lingering effects on my self-esteem. But it's pretty astounding to me […]
Seven BPM.
I don't often get too excited. Up until about four months ago, Jason Pettigrew could routinely be heard saying that I have about four heartbeats per minute. But I think I might have upped the BPM to about seven today. It was an exceptionally good mail day for me. […]
Of Mice And My Chem
Look, I'm not totally clear on what's considered privileged information at the AP skyscraper. I'm sure there are lots of things (like Scott's love of Journey and my love of pretty much any band I love–Soundgarden, Chevelle, Silverchair) that the higher-ups would prefer didn't get out. But here's the thing: My life is so utterly […]
