TOMORROW AT 10PM CHICAGO TIME: Layer Tennis Semi-Finals! Draplin vs. Hubacek.

I’ve trained for this match all my life.

And Hubacek, you Minneapolis River Rat, just so you know who you are messin’ with, a little bit of banter for ya: IT IS ON, MAN, IT IS FUCKIN’ ON!

Here’s what Hubastank had to say, er, link: “Words from the Macho Man, himself.”

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT “EXTRAS” THROW IN WITH EACH ORDER, WE FUCKIN’ MEAN IT: Here’s some proof, and here’s even more proof.

That poster will wreck yer day, alright…in a good way!

Buy now. Going fast. Very orange. Big as hell. Thick paper stock with a “good tooth to it.” Free poster tube with each order.

THOSE CRAZY RUSSKIES: A collection of Russian record covers. And to think I was afraid of them in 1983. Sheesh. (Ripped off outta Coudal’s daily signals. Bunch of communists, anyway.)

THIS ONE’S BEEN ON THE LIST FOR SOME TIME: Milton Glaser: To Inform And Delight. Can’t wait.

FINALLY, A RETURN TO FORM: The 76ers do it right. About goddamn time. Bring ‘em back, bring ‘em back.

WHOLE LOTTA LOVE?: More like, “Whole Lotta Eye Shadow.” Easy with the styling, guitar greats. Cousin Scott sent this one in, and it looks pretty interesting: It Might Get Loud. Jack White is always interesting to me. Even with all the hats and shit, he still is pretty cool.
