Budweiser Unveils New Can, Making Your Keychain, Shirt, and Inflatable Can No Longer Match Your Actual Beer

 Posted on August 4, 2011  |  The Editor

Budweiser redesigned their can because it’s much easier to change the paint in the canning machine rather than doing anything about the beer inside. Beer that’s not exactly great, but yet not bad enough to be considered ironic for hipsters. The new design features a cleaner look, one that is less ornate, with a heavier reliance on the color red. The name Budweiser is still written in a cursive script, but now the name is cast in white against a red backdrop instead of blue on white. [Read More]

Sound Familiar? Kings of Leon Leave Dallas Concert Early

 Posted on August 1, 2011  |  The Editor

Poopstock making a stop in Dallas? Not quite, but Dallas was treated to another classic performance by St. Louis’ favorite shitty band, Kings of Leon! Kings of Leon cut short a concert in Dallas last night, when frontman Caleb Followill suddenly told the audience his voice was “100% wrong” and that he felt too hot as temperatures reached the 90s. In a rambling speech, he said he would go backstage to vomit and drink a beer, then return to play three more songs. [Read More]

Five Things You Just Can’t Do When It’s This Damn Hot

 Posted on July 20, 2011  |  The Editor

It’s hot as hell, and we know it’s the cheesiest thing you could do this time of the year, but we got a egg and we tried to fry it on the forehead of a homeless guy. It didn’t really work. The edges kind of cooked a little but the middle didn’t get too far along. It could have used more time but homeless guy got all mad about it. All we’re saying is that it could have easily been poop on your head, so if you look at it that way, egg isn’t so bad. [Read More]

Rain Washes Away Sunday Concerts at Fair St. Louis

 Posted on July 5, 2011  |  The Editor

We aren’t just “America” here in St. Louis, we’re Middle America, the “Heartland”, right in the center! If someone would to motorboat lady America’s giant boobs, their nose would be rubbing St. Louis. As such, we love the Fourth of July and all the crap that comes with it: funnel cakes, tank tops, cut off jean shorts, washed up 90s bands playing loudly, and fireworks. Oh and if you think our patriotism is as fleeting as our love/hate relationship with Cardinal relief pitchers, it’s not! [Read More]

 Posted on June 28, 2011  |  The Editor

The Jefferson County Police are offering the chance to stay in their new jail one night, meals included, for the low low price of $30. What a deal! …right?

Contamination 2011 is Upon Us!

 Posted on June 23, 2011  |  The Editor

It’s a bit of a bummer that we won’t be able to personally cover St. Louis’ “pop culture/sci fi/horror convention”, Contamination, like we did last year because of schedule conflicts, but we wanted to give them a mention anyway. Contamination: 2011, the “sequel” to last year’s even seems to be even bigger with none other than celebrity headliner: Eric Roberts! Oh yes…Eric Roberts. The star (ahem) of both “The Dark Knight” and “VH1: Celebrity Rehab” will be in St. [Read More]

You Better Hurry If You Want to Have Midtown’s Del Taco Give You Diarrhea One Last Time

 Posted on June 22, 2011  |  The Editor

Though we once described our feelings for Del Taco thusly: Don’t care how late it is or hungry we are, we will never say yes to the fast food version of rib-jobbing a sweaty Mexican donkey ride guy. …we do appreciate the unique design of the “brown nipple of Midtown“, and as such, we were a little sad to hear the news that the Del Taco might be leveled for some generic retail building.

The Best of St. Louis, Laid Out All Pretty Like

 Posted on May 12, 2011  |  The Editor

We’ve been kinda rough on St. Louis lately, and though we feel it’s some needed tough love, we, like St. Louis itself, like to balance the bad parts with some equally as potent good parts which is why we were delighted to find one of the best “St. Louis City Guides” we’ve seen in a long time. The guide has been posted on Design Sponge Online.com and they included this intro: [Read More]

In Tall Buildings at The Firebird

 Posted on April 27, 2011  |  The Editor

Last Friday, the 22nd, while the rest of you were cowering in your homes because thunder is scary, our intrepid man about town, The Paparazzo, took in a show at The Firebird. The show featured the Chicago-based band “In Tall Buildings”, but our guy says the whole show was great. You can see the full photo spread on The Paparazzo’s flickr set, and as for the headliners, you can download two free songs (which are both pretty great). [Read More]

The Cape Girardeau Airport is Making Lambert Airport Look Like a Badass

 Posted on April 27, 2011  |  The Editor

If you’ll recall, Lambert Airport got wind-raped pretty hard last Friday. After getting its windows blown out and roof ripped off, it was back to full capacity yesterday, a mere 5 days later. The Cape Girardeau Airport has however been closed since Sunday because of puddles. Cape Air has been closed since Sunday. The airport was temporarily shut down because there is a large amount of standing water on the runway. [Read More]
