Rich Zweiback: June 5, 2011

Reason’s to be cheerful

1. Stiff Little Fingers – 6/2/2011 Club Europa- Brooklyn

   Jake Burns and Ali McMordie bring Ireland’s finest back and absolutely burn the place down. Punk fucking rock.

2. Ramones

   Always and forever.

3. Elvis Costello – 5/25/2011 Beacon Theater – NY

   A “spin the song wheel” concept and EC portraying rock’s ultimate game show host.

4. “Mister Wonderful” – Daniel Cowes

   Another great graphic novel from the creator of “Ghost World”, “Wilson”, and “Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron”. More tales of lives of quiet desperation.

5. The Dictators
   Cars, Girls, Surfing, Beer / Nothin’ else matters here

6. Dope City Free Press http://mrbeernhockey.blogspot.com/

   Some of the best writing on this old Internet gizmo. From a British Colombian perspective… DOA, Hockey, Booze and other life essentials. Extra bonus points for his “free verse” (only pussies would call it poetry)

7. Jimmy Reed

   Oh, bow at the throne of the master!

8. Zack Ryder

   Take care, spike your hair
   Woo Woo Woo, You know it!

9. Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and the rest of the Republikkkan ass-clowns

   The more p.r. they get, the more the GOP looks ridiculous. Not all publicity is good publicity.

10. NYC in the summertime

    The delicate aroma of heated urine and garbage. Beats the shit out of Old Man Winter.
