Rock is a dying breed of music — and that’s a shame, to be sure — but there is a band that I recently came across that gives me hope that rock, as an art, is NOT dead. Ladies & gentlemen, meet The Royal Concept! This band — originally from Stockholm, Sweden — debuted their five-song EP on iTunes earlier this week, and also dropped the video for their first single, “Gimme Twice,” at the same time. As soon as the single hit radio, it became the #1 most added song at Alternative according to BDS. It’s a testament to the track’s sheer catchiness and instant appeal, paving the way…Read more

My dog, Shoko, is 3 years old, and is quite possibly the laziest dog in the history of canine-dom. This is a dog that considers the walk from my room to the bathroom as the equivalent of the ING NYC Marathon. Aside from his laziness, he is a dog of a discerning (actually, PICKY) tastes: Kibbles’n’Bits isn’t enough for this mutt’s delicate palate. No, only the finest Italian foods (pesto, cheeses, pasta) will satisfy this precocious pup (I blame my father, may God rest his soul, who often shared Italian delicacies with my dog, unbeknownst to me. Also thanks to my father, my dog only understands commands in Sicilian, and…Read more

A man in Chandler, Arizona, tucked his girlfriend’s pink pistol into the waistband of his pants. Hilarity did NOT ensue. Peep the video HERE. Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

When Luke Clark Tyler, an architect in Manhattan, was looking for new digs, he wanted something centrally located and economically feasible. As he’s a single vegetarian with no children, he needed to go with something that made the best use of whatever little space was available. So, for a reasonable sum of $800 per month (you can’t pay those prices ANYWHERE in the greater New York area), he found this 78-SQUARE-FOOT apartment. (Quite economic, considering that there’s a palatial 90-square-foot apartment for about $1000/month.) According to Neatorama, Tyler has every luxury: “a Murphy bed (that he made himself), a couch, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a closet.” He shares a…Read more

Jack Vale has made a “living” off of fake-farting in people’s faces and/or talking in “Tiger Blood” talk. (Hey, a check’s a check — I can’t knock a man’s hustle, especially in this economy…even if that man’s hustle involves being a less-funny Dane Cook…as if Dane Cook could get any more lame & unfunny…) Usually, he takes his Bronx cheers to the aisles of Target (I can only hope that Target cuts him a check for all the free publicity…)…but he might want to reconsider his grind after this incident. In this video, Vale “farts” in the face of a woman in a moto-scooter. Her husband, right behind her in…Read more

In today’s episode of The Subway Chronicles, let’s take a look at what happened on the L train yesterday. (FYI: The L train runs through Brooklyn, specifically, the Williamsburg area.) According to what a witness told Animal New York, this was a multi-platform, multi-stop, all-out Mortal Combat style fight…over a seat. Really, ladies? A SEAT?! Wigs go flying & THE BABY STROLLER ROLLS OFF THE TRAIN FOR A SEAT?! Other people — strangers, I might add — are taking care of your child while you go swinging FOR A SEAT?! And the best part of all: the cops never showed up (there are way too many Dunkin’ Donuts shops in…Read more

I just LOVE my city! So check out what happened on the Subway the other day — two women started fighting for a seat. And they went HAM — hair pulling, screaming, wigs & weaves flying, the whole Jerry Springer bit — until two Good Samaritans separated them. And then…when the fight was over…they just sat next to each other as if nothing happened. Like they were just discussing the weather or something. CAN YOU STAND IT?! Only in NY, kids…only in NY. God bless whoever caught this on their cell phone camera. Peep the hilarity below. Did you like this? Share it:Tweet
