Let us count the ways: a.) You slept with Paris Hilton years before she was famous. Proof. [don't worry, it's not porn.] b.) You made Buffalo 66, one of the very few late-90s "cult classic" flicks that is actually any good. c.) You offered samples of your,...

SFist witnessed a new apartment building tszuj the skyline with spectacular, gaudy turquoise aplomb, the (informal) renaming of the Mission/SOMA neighborhood border, the return of the Maltese Falcon, the Mayor Gavin Newsom mea culpa-ing over his Hawaiian getaway during the oil spill, and double-decker buses hitting the streets of San Francisco. Oh, and some baseball player named Barry Bonds is a liar whose pants, it seems, are totally on fire. LAist continues to cover the...

Londonist: Photo by ChloeLondonist got the big scoop of the week with what may be the first images of notorious street artist Banksy in action. They also got on a runaway train without an operator provoking a response from the transport authorities. Elsewhere, London's answer to Central Station is about to open for business, and Londonist got a sneak preview. Meanwhile, spooky goings-on beneath London Bridge, where a cache of skeletons provided an apt story...

Fall finally arrived on Sunday, not that anyone would notice. However, autumn also brings a start to most theatre companies' 2007-08 season. Things are kicking on Austin's boards. Here're a few shows we're excited about. If you need to warm up, consider taking in Naughty Austin's Cellbloq. In the words of writer-producer Blake Yelavich, who says it best, "Yes, it's about a bunch of muscular guys in prison, but that doesn't mean it is strictly...

Today is the day! Fantastic Fest--North America's coolest, fastest growing genre film festival--officially kicks off this afternoon at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. With around 100 feature films, shorts and special events, Fantastic Fest is a horror / sci-fi / fantasy / action film lover's dream come true. As of yesterday, badges are all sold out. But don't despair, badgeless film lovers--you can still buy individual tickets to certain screenings. We got an early look...

Chicagoist is gearing up for this weekend's annual Air & Water Show along the lakefront. In what's becoming an annual tradition around there, staff member Todd McClamroch even got to fly with one of the participants. Chicagoist's decidedly opinionated readership was also appalled that one of their staffers found a popular local brewpub to be a great place to bring a kid. They also think that an unlikely activist for immigration rights should just take...

Our market is bringing world markets down with us. . . all because of the subprime mortgage market. Universal Music joins the move away from the use of DRM (except through iTunes). Preview of the nation without net neutrality: AT&T censors Pearl Jam's Lollapalooza performance online.

Every once in awhile a show comes along that sounds like a sure bet. The press for Capital T Theatre's upcoming production of Noah Haidle's Mr. Marmalade makes us believe this is just such a show: Lucy is a four-year-old girl with a very active imagination. Unfortunately, her imaginary friend Mr. Marmalade doesn’t have much time for her. Not to mention he beats up his personal assistant, has a cocaine addiction, and a penchant for...

We saw Janeane Garofalo a few years ago in Houston -- she was wearing sweats and debating whether or not the Charlie's Angels was cinematically brilliant or the biggest piece of crap she'd ever seen. For the record, she was doing this on stage, and ultimately decided, based on Drew Barrymore's awkward dancing, that the movie was brilliant. Garofalo makes the sort of oddball diatribes that your snarky best friend makes, but somehow, they're...

LAist is experimenting with blogging dates from J-Date, but finds the best men are found offline. Some date vicariously online and that is one reason why porn is big -- really freaking big -- so they ask if they should cover XXX since the heart of it lays in the city's San Fernando Valley. A writer grapples with her food porn photography obsession, another gets censored on Flickr, one gets scooped by the LA...

*The views expressed in Truesday are those of the author and do not represent Austinist as a whole. Thank heavens.* -The Editors As you read these lines, dearest reader of the internets, I am completely far away from all forms of civilization which typically provide access to web-related entertainment such as: donkey porn, fark, and the constantly intriguing-yet-face-f*cking issue of “who owns Anna Nicole Smith’s baby this week?” So I’m somewhere stupid remote, because...

Dear Austin pervs, creeps, voyeurs and general lurkers (we know you're out there—Missed Connections and A Shot in the Dark speak volumes): Tonight is your night! Jason Bitner and Arthur Jones of Found Magazine will descend upon the Alamo Drafthouse to celebrate the new issue of Dirty Found, the paragon of accidentally found porn. They invite you to "witness all-new pervy PowerPoint festivities, packed with improbably lusty love notes, red-hot fantasy doodles, intimate bedroom photos,...

*The views expressed in Truesday are those of the author and do not represent Austinist as a whole. Thank heavens.* -The Editors I’m all for the co-opting of absolutely horrific tragedies for pet causes. Like using hurricanes to sell Global Warming DVDs. Valentine’s Day for the relationship healing powers of warming lotions. Or cancer to peddle aromatherapy. Go Free Market! You mad-dazzler you! Why, it feels like just yesterday that after hearing of some...

Two local paramedics are being investigated by Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services after an attempt to help a former co-worker get away with drunk driving. A call was made to 911 early Tuesday morning saying that a man had passed out in a car near an Oak Hill intersection. The two paramedics were first to the scene, recognized their friend, and called the cops to say no police action was necessary.

In the mid 1980s, the US Senate (provoked by a high-powered busybody wives club called the PMRC) held a series of hearings on so-called “porn rock”—music containing lyrics about violence, sex, drugs, and the occult. The hearings were pointless but hilarious, providing a public venue for several old, rich, uptight assholes to make fools of themselves reciting lyrics from songs by prominent 80s rock bands. And though the hearings are probably best remembered for testimonies...

Alright, let's be honest with each other shall we? We just woke up from SXSW, and we're pretty sure you're all still hungover. That's why we're here, so that you don't have to strain your brain. So let's cut to the chase, and bust loose with the best of the last few week's Missed Connections...

That diapered astronaut homewrecker was under a lot of stress. This is our clinical diagnosis. A lady from Dallas tipped an NYC cabbie thirty cents on a $10.70 fare, and he still returned her diamond rings. See, the streets of NY ain't so mean. Meanwhile, an NY state senator is proposing a ban on the use of iPods on said streets, after two unfortunate Brooklynites were killed crossing the street while hooked into theirs....

In case you haven't had a chance to look at your calendar, January is almost over. Christmas is a distant memory, SXSW is almost upon us, and the year is already in full swing.

Okay, kids, here’s the scoop. There once was a rock band from England. They had a drummer who liked to dress up as a Nazi for kicks, an under-appreciated bassist who was the silent backbone of the band, a lead singer who fancied himself an actor – and wasn’t bad, so long as his character was deaf, dumb and blind – and a hyperactive guitarist who was once a suspected of involvement in a child porn ring. They liked to play songs a lot heavier and louder than their contemporaries, and particularly favored childish themes, trashing instruments, and singing like girls. They were known as The Who, and back in the day your parents and your grandparents used to rock out to their tunes.
