I feel kind of gross doing this because I'm not a well known FOT and haven't been posting here long but...

I'm doing a run for cancer. I know I haven't been using this site long and so don't expect anyone having to feel obliged to support me but if you can help in any way it would be greatly appreciated!

Support in anyway would be appreciated, even if its just a "good luck"

I've been avoiding this because I'm kinda embarrassed but I'm going to indulge in a little shameless self promotion.

My friend and I have a small record label, Hi-Science Records. we only have a couple of bands right now. hopefully more releases and other fun shit soon. hoping to set up some shows in the LA area soon and showcase some of our favorite local bands. it's all pretty small scale right now since we're doing this in our spare time and funding it ourselves. here's our main site http://hi-science.com/ feel free to contact us we're always looking for new shit to hear because we're basically just total music nerds.

we also have a Tumblr blog we just started recently that I write for http://hi-science.tumblr.com/
I do a weekly movie write up called Hollywood Death Cult (which i decided to write from the perspective of an immortal alien sociopath or something for some reason.) I've done two so far and I just started a weekly music write up called Rock 'n' Roll Pussy, the first one is up now. I've found myself sneaking in some esoteric Best Show references just for my own stupid amusement, maybe you guys can spot them, i dunno. They're just going to be weekly for the time being but I'm hoping to get some kind of new stuff up there everyday if i can. I also post videos and and other fun shit if it strikes my fancy. check it out if you want and if you have a Tumblr please follow us. we only have two followers so far haha.

one last thing I do a silly little internet radio show over at: http://radio.magicmonsterrecords.com/
It's called Death Cult Radio, I'm not sure what days it plays on but you can find a schedule over there. There's not a whole lot of talking since it's prerecorded (poorly) and I suck on the mic, I'm just starting out with this kinda thing and I'm more a curator than a dj on this thing. but I play a lot of music i really love and i hope you guys will like it too. it's a pretty eclectic mix because my tastes are all over the place but it tends to lean more towards punk/rock n roll/psych rock but i like to spice it up with hip hop, funk, soul and the like.

thanks. hope you like it.

after I posted that Tom just started ranting on Twitter about some anonymous terrible blog he's reading.

now I'm really scared! haha

on closer examination I'm almost positive it's not me. He talks about this blog getting hype. I couldn't have less hype. we only have two followers, one of which is me.

also I'm I'm pretty sure not on Tom's radar at all.

Details are still being hashed out, but there is going to be a reading from my yet-to-be-published book Hell Is Above Us on Saturday, June 18 in Brooklyn.

The reading will be done by actors from the Brooklyn-based Inverse Theater Company...and by me!

It is likely to be held at "The Home Of" performance space in Gowanus (http://thehomeof.org/about-2)

I will let you know more as the date approaches.  Any FOT support would be greatly appreciated.

Again...the night of June 18. Save the date! And THANKS!

Mwah!

You have no excuse, Martin.  And neither do you, people of Pluto.

Hey all,

I just did an interview with Tony Scalzo of Fastball (megahits "The Way" and "Out of My Head"). Really nice guy and a great songwriter. He's using Kickstarter to fund his solo album. Please check it out!

Best,
