My mother asked me to pick up some unidentifiable Chinese herbs at a store downtown. I can't imagine any other type of pharmacy just stuffing its wares into filing cabinet drawers, heedless of sanitary issues. Of course, Chinese herbs are brewed and not ingested. Wiki…

I matter plenty
Peter is becoming Anakin Skywalker. Awesome episode of Heroes last night. Avoiding spoilers and promos truly enhances the television viewing experience. I caught the end of Degrassi's J.T. postmortem episode again. When Toby opens J.T.'s locker, you see a poster for The Bronx on the…
Sleep with one eye open
With all due respect to the sticker and the kiss, did you see Siegfried and Roy introducing the player introductions? Oof. Roy could neither speak intelligibly nor orient himself. That he shared the spotlight with suave 67-year-old Siegfried only exacerbated the sadness of the sight….
Ghetto Ways
Previously on Adam Riff™: » Lars' open letter to the Bay Area would probably feel less calculated and disingenuous if he didn't move to Brooklyn over a year ago. MC Lars – "White Kids Aren't Hyphy" Apparently, Lars recorded the song exclusively for [Bay Area…

Soundcheck
Coachella, Bonnaroo, blah blah blah. This is the best music festival line-up I've seen all year, and it's still incomplete. Ticketholders can lobby for additions. Too bad it's in the UK. I want to see State Radio with The New Amsterdams and Street to Nowhere…
Studio Shitty on the Chopping Block
Together at last! Yayayayayayay! Monday night on Raw, Vince McMahon and Donald Trump agreed to a hair vs. hair match (with proxy wrestlers) at WrestleMania. Loser shaves his head. I'm not sure how any of this promotes The Apprentice. It's a fascinating case study on…
I mix Heineken with vodka
Fuck the IRS? Last night, Axelsen debuted "Hyphy," MC Lars' latest single. Over an instrumental reminiscent of Bumblebeez' "Pink Fairy Floss," Lars channeled Skee-Lo for a chorus ("I wish I was a little bit hyphy") and referenced other local shit like ghost ridin', Live 105…
