  • Friday Tyrant - Get in the Dreamvan with Blake Butler

    I think in the future, people will point to his new book and say, "Look, look, this is when everything started to become really great/fucked up."

  • Friday Tyrant – Lagoon Fever

    I mentioned Youth Lagoon at a party the other night and a girl screamed in my face.

  • Friday Tyrant - Litter

    I want to know who can make Twitter a place for genuinely twisted and real human thought.

  • Friday Tyrant - Brand New Lutz

  • Matthew Blahrney

  • Friday Tyrant - Mozipedia

  • Friday Tyrant - The Beast, Watered

    I've grown oh so weary with humans and their human stories. Give me the pawing animal, the beast, chest out. Give me the instinct. Sam Michel sets his meat hook into you right at the nose. Then he tugs.

  • Friday Tyrant - Scott McClanahan, Hick Christ

    This post is destined to be one of those ones that, in years to come, people will go digging through the archives and find this article and be all, "Man, this fuckup knew way ahead of time what the situaish was with McClanahan."
