Pigs On Phoenix Light Rail

by Doug Shrug on Dec 19, 2017 • No Comments
They added cops to assist security on the light rail in case you haven’t seen that yet. Yup. They’ve gone from the obnoxious guards, to harassing homeless people, to packing them trains full of pork like baggies of Lil’ Smokies. “I’ve encountered this on 19th Ave & Camelback months ago.”...

Why Are the Names of Phoenix Suburbs So Shitty?

True to its perfect name, Phoenix is a risen city, one destined to destroy itself ad nauseum. Living here is pure defiance, not only to nature, but to reason.

Andy Warpigs Debuts Video for NEET, Tackles Late-Capitalist Alienation

by Scott Mitting on Jul 4, 2017 • No Comments
As much as I’ve seen of “Welcome to the NHK,” it’s the story of a ‘NEET’ in training, or what they call a hikikimori in Japan. Which is someone who stays home and doesn’t necessarily have a stable job or income. They are people who don’t leave the house for anything more than groceries or...

The summer is a serial killer. Don’t be a statistic! Here’s a few upcoming July events in more or less climate controlled bubbles and many at night, when it's safest to travel in the desert. Be sure to hydrate with lots of lite beer. If you make it through until the monsoons, than basically we...

It’s not just obvious tracks like ‘Sun In My Eyes’ or ‘Monsoon Daze’—there’s something about even the reference to palm trees on ‘Shapes and Things’ or the blinding sun on ‘It's You That I Find’ that reminds you of Phoenix.
