New Wonder Twins in yesterday's Metro Times. Oh, the things we do for you people... This time we went to see the Justin Bieber 3-D concert movie video film Never Say Never. You know, for the lulz.

Hey music nerds, it's BLOWOUT TIME AGAIN! I'll be blogging the festivities again this year over at the Metro Times Music Blahg. In fact, I just posted my picks for the next four days of fun. Go read it.
I am a freelance writer and stand up comedian in the Detroit area. I primarily write about dogs, politics, comedy, music and Detroit/Hamtramck. Sometimes all of these things at once. Also sometimes other things. Like Bollywood.
Here's a link to a short n' sweet review I wrote of the new J Mascis record from this week's Metro Times. I keep accidentally calling the record Several Shades of Grey because of his hair.
