SUPER PRO REVIEW: Resident Evil 6

It’s pretty cool you should go buy it.

A review of last nights concert at Cervantes (January 19, 2012)

“Hey James, we’re going to poor booze down your throat then make homophobic slurs at you in the hopes that you’ll be too drunk to care. Then we’ll get a group of psycho nerds to try to steal from you for not liking Zelda enough for their tastes.” I hate Denver.

Nobody Will Remember You Tonight (on the Larimer Lounge and the real New Rock)

[Editor's note: This is the last 2010 piece I'll be uploading. The rest are fairly bleh, honestly.] It’s pretty easy to forget what you have. It’s pretty easy to feel as though the shit has hit the fan and the world is crumbling around you. I had one last jag of horrible nightmares that drove [...]

The Way and Light of New Rock part two (2)

[Editor's note: Another blast form the past (2010)] Good things don’t last forever. Part one ended with my mood going into an upswing, finally finding a show that didn’t make me hate myself and the end of my recurring dreams that only served to make me look and feel like an anti-social asshole. Part two [...]

The Way and Light of New Rock: part one (a “review” of the 4/13/10 show at the Hi-Dive)

[Editor's note: More stuff from last year.] I probably shouldn’t write these things when I’m in a foul mood. Problem: I tend to be in a foul mood more often than not. An explanation is in order. I’ve been having a recurring series of dreams off and on (mostly on) for the past month and [...]

Idiot Funk (my night at the Underground Music Showcase 2010)

[Editor's Note: Thanks to my site's servers going kablooey a while back and my lackadaisical approach towards preserving my work, I've been searching high and low for my site's archives. Luckily, I've been able to find almost all of it. Here is a very long article about the 2010 Underground Music Showcase, my most divisive [...]

A Review of Katamari Forever (Namco, 2009 for the Playstation 3)

Were you, Dear Reader, raised by parents who never seemed to be happy with your performances and achievements in life? Or at least, do you know somebody who has? Going through life constantly browbeaten and berated; being told that nothing you will ever do will ever be enough. It’s not a great way to live, [...]

Hobo Nikkan James Shinbun (November 23, 2009): Days of a Beautiful Human Being (a review of the 11/22 concert at the Marquis Theater)

The night began with a Law and Order marathon and a shot of whiskey. It ended with me singing Lisa Loeb’s “Stay” into an imaginary microphone attached to a beautiful yet, unfortunately, married woman from Wyoming.

Hobo Nikkan James Shinbun October 25, 2009: Love and Heartbreak in the time of Cliched Dystopia (a “review” of Bethesda Softworks’ Fallout 3)

The tagline to Fallout 3 is this: “War Never Changes.” A line that was no doubt thought to be really profound by the writing team; a group of man-children who think that getting a small child to utter the word “fuck” about five times per sentence is “edgy.” A line that a clearly bored Ron [...]

A REVIEW OF (a pen (that i guess can be called a limited edition) bearing the logo of) GEARS OF WAR 2
