After a certain point, sleep deprivation tends to make me feel like I’m submerged in something, like dream physics have bled into the real world. A lot of times, when I hear music that would be considered “dreamy,” it feels closer to that effect than what I would consider anything dream oriented– dreams are places […]
Locked in a Loop: A P.T. Travelogue
“Has that banana always been there?” I ask myself. I’m looking at a pile of trash on an end table near a locked front door. I’m pretty sure I want out of that door, but I have no idea how to open it. Or where it leads. All I know is that I am frightened […]
88 Flow: Porter Ray Makes Seattle Hip-Hop Shine with Fundamentals
Hip-hop breaks barriers. There’s no better proof in this day and age than the fact that some of the fullest and most interesting movements in hip-hop are coming from Seattle- the home of rain and coffee and cliches about both. Hip-hop isn’t about fitting into a form or a function or an idea- it’s as […]
In the Still of the Night: Love Hotel Gives Viewers a Raw Glimpse Behind Closed Doors
Never trust anyone who says that documentaries are easy. These people have likely never made a documentary, or at least not a good one. It might seem like a luxury, not having to worry about writing a script, casting talented actors, or even coming up with set decoration and costumes. Just walk around with a […]
Difficult Procedures: The Knick is a Bleak Look at Medicine and Society in the Industrial Era
It’s a testament to the weird way my brain works that the first thing I notice about Steven Soderbergh’s new show The Knick is that it starts almost exactly like the scene introducing Johnny Depp’s Inspector Abberline in From Hell, the world’s second worst Alan Moore adaptation. Clive Owen is replacing Johnny Depp, Lodon is switched out […]
Yellowed Pages: Cosmic Odyssey Is Basically 24 by Way of Infinity Gauntlet
Sometimes we just want to talk about old comics we found in bargain bins or antique stores or in our garages. Is that so wrong? Today we’re looking back at Cosmic Odyssey, a DC crossover event drawn by Mike Mignola (!) and written by Jim Starlin that is most famous for featuring a scene where Martian […]
Girl, You Need More: Mozart’s Sister Offers Up a Diverse Pop Platter on Being
Over here in Austin, there’s an overabundance of shitty bro bands trying to market themselves as “real” music, which usually means lots of power chords, solos, facial hair and maybe an acoustic guitar or two. It’s nothing new for guitar fascists to argue that electronics aren’t true “instruments,” authenticity warfare has been waged since culture […]
Who Will Survive in America: One Nerd’s Journey Into the World of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood
I feel like there are a few ways to respond to the inane in the world. Smart people usually respond with anger and baffled disgust—why does this exist? Why do people care? I’ve never thought that was a great reaction, though. I prefer to embrace the inane. I can’t guarantee that it makes the world […]
Starmen Waiting in the Skies: Guardians of the Galaxy and the Return of the Space Opera
The weekend is over, which means box office reports are in. It’s probably not a surprise to hear that Marvel’s new franchise entry Guardians of the Galaxy has taken the top spot, but what is surprising to many is just how successful the film was, as James Gunn’s loving ode to swashbuckling space epics is […]

All week, Loser City is running Twin Peaks and David Lynch themed content in honor of the release of the new Twin Peaks boxed set, which came out on Tuesday. Today we close out the week with a group discussion from Loser City’s batch of newbie Twin Peaks viewers about whether Twin Peaks still holds up today to the uninitiated. Julie Muncy: […]
