TAG AUTORETTUNG WARNUNG: 1,636 German Pulp magazine covers. Scheiße! But mainly, from the American Wild West, or some idea of it.

Germany. A conflicted place. Lose yerself in some of their old pulp.

LETHAL WITH HIS HANDS: Todd Weeks will kick yer ass, and, write a scary-ass, oddly-effective musical score. Get in there, you bastards, and go hand-to-hand with this guy, in his basement. Brandon Rike fully endorses the “Weeks Brand” of ass-kicking. As do we. Boss link, B.

HERE’S A LINK FOR BRY, BACK HOME: Retirement’s done, man! It’s game time, brother. Check out some of the sweet skillz in this upholstery gallery right here: Nate Von Hofwegen, upholstery wizard. Some sweet moves in there. (This link was sent in by Nate Garn, and man, thanks for years of awesomeness.)

A GRAYSCALE LIFE: Sometime you gotta take matters into yer own hands and make it happen. Here’s an incredible article about just that: “Maine’s Randy Regier.” A good read. What’s really getting me is the “greyscale-ness” of the guy’s shop, and what a cool idea that is. Odd, really. Like someone “desaturated” the whole joint, except for the guy’s head. Interesting idea.

Here’s the link to the NuPenny store, in the other Portland on that Eastern seaboard. Be sure to take the tour.

This link, people, just might be the best link on this site all year. It’s got the kind of DNA that could change a life: Sometimes you just gotta make it happen.

(Thank you, Avantaggio. Great, great stuff.)

DON’T REALLY CARE ABOUT SOCCER: But do appreciate the rebranding of those Portland Timbers. They did this for folks like Chuck Pearce! Hell yes.

I think it’s a good solution, and am glad they finally got around to updating the thing. It needed it. One kid wrote in and said, “I wish you guys would have done it.” That meant a lot. I would’ve loved to take a axe swing at that thing. Of course! But hell, it looks good, so, be glad they didn’t fuck the thing all up. That happens enough out there.
