Justin Shady - Blog Party

Cold campin' with MMW

I went to Summer Camp once, when I was way smaller. It was fun, but not nearly as fun as '80s movies made it seem. And in the years since, I've seen Meatballs and Wet Hot American Summer enough to wonder how Summer Camp could be redesigned for...

I Swear I'm Not Dead.

I thought I'd drop in and write a quick note to let everyone know that I haven't quit Blog Party (much to the chagrin of my detractors). In the past few weeks I've been bombarded by new writing and DJ opportunities and I'm still trying...

Still making good music and great videos...

Show Review: Nellie McKay @ Turner Hall

Sorry that it took me a little while to get this blog up, but I've been really busy lately. I'm being considered for a full-time position at Blackwater and I've been boning up on how to murder innocent civilians, so I've been a little...

Monkey Knife Fight is back!

If you missed Monkey Knife Fight's performance of "Come On Down! The Merzakowski Story" this past August, you're in luck. Why? Because after great feedback and a demand for more, the improv comedy troupe has decided to do it again before...

Someone named Pat MacDonald cries like a girl with a skinned knee

Someone got their panties in a bunch tonight! Who? Pat MacDonald of the "legendary" band Timbuk3. "Who?" you may ask. "Exactly," I would reply. Timbuk3, in case you're a normal person and have no clue who they are, is...

First Taste of Lollapalooza

Despite arriving late (that Justin Shady kid missed our train and didn't make it until Day 3, so I guess I'm off the hook), my first day at Lollapalooza - which was actually Day 2 of the 'looza - was exciting enough, even with a bit of rain...
