Rue Morgue issue #119
Takin’ it back to the old school, Aaron recently had a record review of Calgary horror rockers The Forbidden Dimension published in issue #119 of Rue Morgue magazine.
That’s right. A magazine.
They still exist and they provide a giddy tactic thrill when you read them on the toilet.

P.S. Harry Potter’s on the cover for some movie or other. That’s important, right?

The Iron Sheik
If you’re of a certain age you’ll remember The Iron Sheik. That jabroni Hulk Hogan stole his belt. Hak! Phew!
Well, in an era that isn’t the ’80s, one of professional wrestling’s greatest villains has found a new forum… Twitter. And there’s no way Hogan’s stealing his belt there because he’s the undisputed champion of ridiculous, hilarious threatening tweets.
Mostly he spends his time making fun of Hulk Hogan, calling the Ultimate Warrior raisin dick and telling people he’s going to fuck them and make them humble old country way, but recently he’s been branching out into music. He’s tweeted about Chris Brown, Kings Of Leon, Whitney Houston and a whole host of others.
Sarah pulled together some of the best tweets for AUX TV. You can read the story by clicking here.

ASAP Rocky
UPDATE: Because Spinner is RIP this full story can now be found here.
Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky has a song called “Bass” whose chorus is just “Bass!… Bass!… Bass!… Bass!”
It’s fucking great.
ASAP’s also about 30 per cent more enlightened than the average rapper because, well, he doesn’t give a fuck if you’re gay.
The proof, and elaboration, on this stance can be read over at Spinner by clicking here.
