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.

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.- - - -ON THE PLAYER:01.
