Media Cruiser is an addicting new blog written by my iPhone Line-cutting friend Andrew. It’s a symposium of articles on vastly incongruous matters of pop culture and politics, addressing the inane and the sublime from a queer perspective.
From the politics of pedophile-hunting to female rappers singing about their pussies, Media Cruiser weaves together a unique image of the gestalt of our era.
Oh, and also you can listen to original songs from “Golden Girls” episodes, like Sophia’s classic, “Thanks for the Medicare”.
The hypnotically handsome Rudy Bleu (who also happens to be my boyfriend) and his sultry co-DJ Cody Wayne throw a monthly party at Pehrspace in Echo Park. It’s called Outré, and it’s for sure the most un-pretentious fun music kick-back homo-friendly dance party in all of L.A. County.
This month they celebrated Rudy’s birthday with a 70’s porn-themed party and guest DJs Jeremy Scott, Daniel Pineda of Laco$te, and DJ Total Freedom. Check out the pictures on Sean Carnage’s blog, and come out to dance with us next month. Friday, September 21st!
Speaking of Rudy’s birthday, the picture at the top of this post is an image of the rad gift he was given by CalArts wunderkind Patrick S. It’s a hand-bottled “creature of unknown origins,” floating in a sea of paprika.

Listen to “Everybody’s Talkin’” by Nilsson [download]
I finally got around to watching John Schlesinger’s classic Midnight Cowboy recently, and fell in love with it. It’s so epic and stylistically ahead of its time, and simultaneously so encapsulating of its era. The performances are stunning, and it makes my heart weep to think of the strange old man Jon Voight has become, now that he’s taking supporting roles in Bratz: The Movie.
The music is also amazing, most notably the theme song performed by Harry Nilsson, “Everybody’s Talkin’”. I can listen to that song for hours on end!
In other news, I’m going to be putting up some photos on the walls of uber-cool downtown venue The Smell this Friday. I’m not sure how long they’ll be up, so come check them out this weekend!

wunderkind? hardly…
It is a shame that voight’s career has spiralled so very far from midnight cowboy. and that the first movie I had the… “pleasure”… of seeing him in was alongside Ice Cube and J Lo, in that wonderful summer blockbuster about the big fat snake.
you dont see enough hand-painted movie posters these days…

It’s a shame that the rest of Nilsson’s work doesn’t measure up. Such great hits like “Coconut”.
GRAHAM IS DA BOMB
