New Release Roundup

In which we finally catch up with a few new and soon-to-be-new titles. This round: The Hands, Peasant, Chris Walla, Baby Dee, Darla Farmer, Dengue Fever.

  1. The Hands The Hands (Selector Sound; out 2/19/08)
    Hailing from Seattle, The Hands epitomize what may have been created had Seth Brundle thrown Jet, 1972 Jagger and Grand Funk Railroad into pod #1, waited ten seconds, and opened pod #2. After that comparison, throw aside all references to molecular physics. Make no bones: The Hands are out to rock – loudly – and in this attempt they succeed triumphantly. Lyrically they pose no threat, but who cares when it’s this loud? Note to The Hands: Given all the cheese graters and bloody digits on the album art, consider changing name to The Bloodied Hands – it does have a ring, yes?

Food Hacienda Heights Unleashed Real Estate Total Bullshit Zen Beef Extract

Lest You Forget, Hacienda Heights Is Zen-As-All-Get-Out

’HsiNews comes from Eater today that a Mcdonald’s in Hacienda Heights has undergone the chain’s first transition (more to follow) into what they hope will now be a more relaxed, Feng Shui’d, Zen-like beef-and-cheese-purchase- inducing atmosphere, inside and out. To be sure, years of serving up beef and those beef-extract-inclusive french fries under the shadow of the Heights’ Hsi Lai (pictured), the nation’s largest Buddhist temple, have had a marked effect on the Hacienda’s hamburger-serving outpost. Mcdonald’s Corporation, bodhisattva to the world’s beef-eating masses if you will, has had a (presumed) longstanding tradition of operating under the Buddhist tenet The greatest quality is seeking to serve others (Atisha, 11th cen.) Let this then be further testament to the awakened purity of the Board of Directors’ collective selfless souls.

A Look Back

Where Are They Now? A Look Back At The Losanjealous Escort Service (Concluded)

’iAs promised, we now catch up with our two blind daters – one year after we left them. Are they still together? Did the date change the course of their lives significantly? Are they single? Available? Lost In Your Eyes Just Like Debbie Gibson? Litigious? Dangerous? Read, reader, and discover within the answers to the questions that burn you now.

SARAH’S TALE
As I mentioned to Ryan, my life has changed very little in the past year, and although I can attribute almost none of those changes to my Losanjealous-sponsored date, I do have an appreciation for authentic Cuban plantains and an obsession with Swingers’s Rocket Shakes, neither of which existed beforehand.
