Curious about what you’d be named, had you been birthed by Sarah Palin? I’d be Axe Diesel Palin. Axe is pretty sweet. What’s yours?

Lucinda Williams on Little Honey

I spoke with Lucinda Williams a few weeks ago- a rather lengthy interview about her new record “Little Honey,” of which I’m writing a feature on. I just found this little promotional video, that’s rather neat if you’d want to hear a good amount of snippets of the record. Its quite fantastic; probably my favorite since Essence.

Lil Wayne Has Some New Material To Work In

I’m pretty sure Lil Wayne, Lloyd, or the Dream will somehow work this Guinness Record into their next song. My suggestion for possible lyric:

Yall shawty aint mine, if it wuz, it would sing,
and not look more like He Pingping.

Lil- if you’re reading this, get in touch. mikeayers [at]gmail.com

Lauren Conrad Gives Hope To Writers Everywhere

Lauren Conrad, star of Television, has inked a book deal, giving actual writers such as myself, a new surge of cocky confidence. If they’re paying non-writers to write, surely there be some dough for actual writers! Suhhhhhhhweeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Beating out Florida and Ohio, Michigan has stepped up as the front runner for “most likely to work out a way to suppress your vote” in this election season. Grrr x 9087.

Clearing the Bar

Pictured here, Ivan Ukhov has been accused of drinking Red Bulls and Vodka during competitions. And I can attest, those are pretty tasty. But also can attest that sometimes writers like to sneak in little jokes from time to time, even if you write for the AP.

“Ukhov failed with each attempt to clear the bar Tuesday before being asked to stop competing at the Swiss meet.”

Sounds like the bar was cleared, but the wrong one! Or, hows this. “After clearing the bar, Ukhov failed with each attempt to clear the bar.” One more: “The only bar Ukhov cleared wasn’t high at all; it was the mini bar!” Hahahahahhaha x 8765

No good?
