ART*HEAD Is Back (Stop Acting Like We Sold You Crack)

Good news for you and I: ART*HEAD is back from its unannounced summer hiatus. We had to take some time off, because in mid-June, James Isaacs suddenly fell into a life as a scientologist porn actor with some minor cult ties and a rapidly growing meth addiction, so we had to rally for an intervention. The good news is that Isaacs is back on the up and up, and if you'd be interested in learning more about the whole ordeal, there's going to be an episode about it on that intervention show from cable television airing in early spring.

Since we've been gone for so long, we're going to have to travel back in time and talk about what's been going on for the last couple of months. So the next few entries will be dedicated to recent current events, including Woody Allen's 'Scoop," the Matt Friedberger solo records, Radiohead's summer tour, the exploits of Mike Patton, the documentary about The Monks, recent citings of Johnny Love, rumours of an FDR sequel, Wes Anderson's next project, and recent shows by The Flaming Lips, Gnarls Barkley, and The Raconteurs. It's going to be a really fun time for all of us.

For now, here are some quick updates on the important things happening in the world:


Lindsay Lohan appears on the cover of the August issue of British GQ and the magazine contains a plethora of sexy Lohan photos. British GQ can supposedly be bought in the United States, but evidently not at the downtown Minneapolis Shinder's. If you buy a copy and send it to ART*HEAD, we will give you a special prize. An amazing opportunity! For more Lohan news, I'd recommend Lohan Groupie.


The final season of Arrested Development is now on DVD, and like the rest of the series, it's f-ing amazing, especially the Godzilla scene. If I were to tell you that the original episodes of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon were now available on DVD, would that be something you'd be interested in? Because it's true. I'd buy them if I were you (I did), it's just like ten dollars per se or something like that. And in even better news, the only season of the Stella TV series comes out on DVD September 12. I think it may be out in some places already. I heard they were selling it at Kim's in New York. The Stella series, while not as good as the original Stella Shorts, was undeniably fantastic, and soon Comedy Central will be writing an email that reads "RE: Stella cancellation. I think I've made a huge mistake." Also, the show Entourage remains incredible, although the season finale was a little weak. I hope Jeremy Piven is in the next Wes Anderson movie.

ART*HEAD has launched a series of amazing one-inch buttons, which will soon be available on this site. We'd like to say a special thanks to TDB for the gift of the button-maker (best gift ever).

We've also added poems and sports sections to the page. Feel free to take a look.


Recently, we entered THE ADVENTURES OF FDR in an open mic at Kieran's in Minneapolis. It came in second place to this JA with an acoustic guitar. It was certified bullshit. Some people would say that the judges had anti-FDR motives. I think they were mad that I threw the mic stand on the floor after answering one of their stupid questions ("I f FDR was paralyzed, how come he put his leg up on the table?"). First is the worst, second is the best, you anti-semitic sons of bitches. Major J/K.
