EDITOR’S LETTER

It’s the start of a new year and what better way to kick things off than with some bands that will make you feel good and get you moving: Hannah Williams and The Tastemakers, and The Impellers. Also, Asia Mone’t, one of the most beautiful and sought-after plus-size models around helps you ring in 2013 with some excellent New Year’s celebration shots. One thing about January is that it’s cold out there for a lot of folks. Our beer panel reviews some stouts that will definitely warm you up on those cold days and nights. Stouts aren’t your thing? Fear not. Our cocktails columnist gives you a version of hot chocolate that you (and your holiday guests) will love. It will definitely ward off that winter chill. Our Guest List columnist this month is Stu Miller of southern California psychedelic band I’mU. Stu is also a hip-hop MC and he lists his five favorite underground hip-hop albums. As always, I need to recognize our Cinephile Rae (@raesblog) whose superhuman efforts not only make this magazine possible but infinitely better. Thanks also to our beer panel (with two guests in this edition), and our mixologist Carin. We think this is a great beginning to a new year and we know that good things are in store for Incognito in 2013. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the ride with us. In closing, I’ll borrow from Whistle Pigs. Bless your hearts and livers, Gary Schwind

WHO WE ARE Incognito: for the musical omnivore Who are we and what is Incognito, you ask? Well, we are a collection of music lovers that gets by on irresponsibly few hours of sleep, Guayaki energy shots, and power naps. Unhealthy? Maybe, but this isn’t a magazine about health...unless you mean the mental health music gives. Incognito is a magazine for the musical omnivore - the person who loves good music no matter what genre. Take this issue, for instance. We have interviews with two English funk bands. We also cover: bluegrass, Celtic punk, and ska, among others. That’s pretty good range if I do say so myself. Why do we do this? For several reasons. First, we love music. Music is a constant at Incognito HQ and we put this magazine out for all those people out there who wouldn’t know what to do with themselves if they didn’t have music, particularly music that you’ll never find on your radio or maybe even at your local music store. We also do it because a lot of bands have a big budget for publicity. But for every band that is backed by a ridiculous amount of money, there are hundreds more that make music because it’s what they love to do. We also do this for every person who has ever been in a bar and thought “I’ll puke if that jukebox plays The Police one more time.” In short, we publish this magazine for every musician and music fan that has ever been in a dark club in a nowhere town on a Tuesday night for one reason only: good music. We celebrate the bands that live in tour vans eating crappy food, swilling cheap beer, and making just enough money to make it to the next gig. In other words, no matter how you classify the music, we celebrate the rock and roll ethos and we hope you do too. incognitomusicmagazine.com

An Interview with Hannah Williams and The Tastemakers by Carin Merritt

annah Williams and the Tastemakers is a funk and soul band from London (and one of the favorite bands we at Incognito HQ found in 2012). Hannah Williams discusses finding her voice, who she gets compared to, and some very receptive audiences.

my voice were ugly and unpleasant. With some encouragement, I began to explore and…..it all took off from there!!! Q: Who do you get compared to? How do you feel about those comparisons?

Q: Your voice is really evocative. Did you have some sort of formal training?

A: James Brown, Sharon Jones, Janis Joplin, Etta James, Bessie Smith...I take pride in the fact that A: I’ve been singing since I was a very young I am likened to so many different artists, all of child and I could read music before I could whom I admire, respect and enjoy listening to. read words.

Q: When did you realize you could sing like A: Nic (Hillman Mondegreen), Jimi Needles and I have been working together since 2008 when this? I joined their ska funk band – Jackson and the A: I didn’t find my ‘soul’ voice until I met my Spangles. We all met at University of Winchester songwriter Nic ( Hillman Mondegreen) 4 years where the lads were studying and where I run ago.

Q: What is the funniest/most outrageous thing Q: Who or what inspires you? How do you that has happened on stage recently? hope to inspire others? A: We played Alterfesta in Cisternino (Italy) back A: I’m inspired by a lot of things and a lot of in August. We got to the end of our set, we did people. I direct and write for a Gospel Choir and 3 encores and the crowd just kept on screaming a traditional 4-part choir as part of my job as for more. The rest of the band had left the stage

and headed for the green room . We had no more making music? songs left to play. But…..I was compelled to go back on . So…..I went out there and explained A: Well…..I can’t imagine a life without singing that I had no idea what was gonna happen but but….if I had to choose, I would be cooking!!! that I’d make something up. I got them singing ‘I love you’ in 3 part harmony at the tops of their voices and as the band trickled back on having realized what the hell I was up to, it turned into a full on 10 minute, spontaneous jam! I had the best time! Risky but brilliant! To be honest, the most shocking and outrageous behavior tends to come from the crowd really. I think my favorite crowd shout out ever has to be from San Felice this year when we played the Exotique festival. We were just heading off stage after 3 encores and this woman screams at the top of her voice from the back of the crowd “ San Felice is dead without you Hannah!” I laughed so hard at the time because I thought it was just a joke or I didn’t hear it right but I spoke to the woman after the show and she was so moved by our music I think she actually meant it!

whatever was destined for me ... would be. Q: What is the favorite interview that you've conducted? What made it such a good interview? A: I had the pleasure of interviewing artist that have personally influenced me with their music, but I have to say the one interview that pleasantly surprised me was my interview with Tony Yayo of G-Unit. We discussed humble beginnings and the rise to fame and fortune. More impressively we discussed the importance of being a Business Minded Person to strive in the entertainment business. Q: What advice do you have for a model who is just getting started?

A: I advise models that are just starting out to arm themselves with as much knowledge as they can in regards to the industry. You should know the different types of modeling career paths and what is required and expected of a model. You should familiarize yourself with both the game and its players. There are many scams in the modeling world.. the more you know the less likely you will fall for them.

A: The first National Publication I've appeared in was Essence Magazine. I will never forget my reaction to people calling to congratulate me. "You are mistaken.. I did not shoot for Essence." Yes it was true I did not shoot for Essence, my photos were picked up from a stock photography company. When I finally picked up and saw the Q: When did you start modeling? issue I was in AWE. I had actually attended the casting for that issue and was not selected as a A: My professional modeling career started model for that particular edition. I knew then 6

The Merritts of Mixology

Sicilian Sunset by Carin Merritt January, for us Americans, provides one common feeling: the obsession of all things new. Most of us by this time have finished the family obligations the past couple of months have brought upon us and escaped into a well-deserved selfish state of mind. Yet, amidst the new beginnings encircling everything, I found a sweet nostalgic tradition in a sweet little town, and could not pass the opportunity to share. 14

Every year around this time, in good old Washington State, we pray for snow, because the only alternative is: a lot of rain. This brought on a tradition by my parents to spend a couple nights with the immediate family in the tourist town hidden in the Cascade Mountains called Leavenworth, where sleds and snow are a guarantee. Leavenworth is a replica of a German town. Beer is quite popular, especially among my comrades, and we make sure to scope out the

Frankfurter food stands that are accompanied warm all day without losing any of its goodness! with the best booze. Alcohol keeps the warmth and also helps to eliminate the memory that we just travelled for four hours with three adult siblings in one car. Upon arriving into this town, which is preceded by thirty miles of nothing but trees and deer, is a street lined neatly up and down with decorated shops and stands with food and drinks. At one stand, a little lady was drinking something that looked like wine, but it was steaming hot. I had to ask her, for scholarly purposes of course, what this concoction was. She pulled out a bottle of wine, this one called Markt Gluhwein, a hot spiced red wine. It tasted like a cider beer, strong and sweet. It was divinely warming and delicious. The lady, observing my excitement, explained to me that serving hot red wine was a German tradition during winter tracing back centuries. Awesome! Now I wanted to try every kind they had! The next bar we hopped to, we ran into a wonderful gentlemen bartender named John-O where I promptly asked him if I may try whatever warmed wine he had. He did not have exactly what I was looking for, but did have an update to the German tradition by adding juices, spices, and whiskey to the hot wine. He called it the Sicilian Sunset. It was strong and distinct; the smell preceded its arrival. The drink is great, but the spices which ar harsh and grainy might be a turnoff for many. However, those can easily be added or detracted. If you have all the time necessary, pour these ingredients in a pan over a stove. However, a quick zap in the microwave is acceptable too. Here is the recipe John-O gave me: 2 oz Knob Creek (or any whiskey of your choice) 1/4 oz Drambuie 1 oz blood orange juice (regular orange juice is okay) 1 oz apple juice squeeze of lemon Mulling spices (added to taste) garnish with a cherry, lemon, or orange slice To perfect this drink, pour all of the ingredients into a Crock Pot (set to warm) and then add at least one bottle of wine, depending on the amount of people being served.

he Impellers is a 10-piece band from Brighton, England. Glenn Fallows discusses how the band came together, the pros and cons of being a 10-piece band, and the endurance required for one of the band’s shows.

Q: What are some of the challenges to being a 10-piece band?

A: We all get on pretty well, which makes things easier. The biggest challenge is that because we’re in a very niche scene (particularly in the UK) where only so many people are interested, there’s not a lot of money available from live Q: How did The Impellers come together? shows, record sales, etc. None of us are in it A: The band started with me, a guy who I worked for the money, but it does mean that we all with (on drums) and a friend of my brother (on have to hold down full time jobs. A few of the bass). We did a few jamming sessions in a grimy band have got kids as well, so getting everyone disused bar room by the seaside and it kind of together to tour, record and even rehearse is really went from there. I’d been wanting to put together difficult. It also means that it’s impossible to write a proper, authentic deep and heavy funk band with everyone being involved, so there’s just a for years before that, but this was the first few of us who do the writing and then take the opportunity I got. We’ve had so many band ideas back to the band when they’re pretty much members over the years (nearly twice as many finished. It’s the only way to get things done drummers as Spinal Tap) but for the last 5 years with the time available to get us all together. I the band has been a core group of me, Clair suppose the other challenge related to writing (singer), Mark & Chris on horns and Barry is that sometimes there just isn’t enough space (guitar). We’ve actually got a settled line-up now in a track for everyone to play on it, particularly for the first time in years, so I’m really pleased if it’s a slower number, so that’s difficult to about that. It’s good to be familiar with the manage. That doesn’t happen too often though people you’re performing with so that we can as our sound is pretty big and full - ‘more is more’ kind of thing. The last thing is that play to each others’ strengths. 16

Have You Heard? The Regrettes (Columbus, Ohio) theregrettes.bandcamp.com This is another band I found by searching Bandcamp for the keyword soul. One of the other tags the band uses is “throwback.” This certainly is a throwback band. This band has a lot of things we love: female vocalists (lead and backing), bass lines that get your backside moving, and horns. The melodies remind me not only of Eli “Paperboy” Reed and The True Loves but also Irma Thomas (no, I’m not kidding). This band will definitely help you get your fix of soul music and I’m sure this band is amazing live.

The Raggies (Las Cruces, New Mexico) theraggies.bandcamp.com I found The Raggies simply by searching the keyword harmonica on Bandcamp. the first song that popped up (“Acapulco Gold”) was tagged: americana, blow jobs, blues, country, harmonica, marijuana, oral sex. I ask you, loyal reader, how am I supposed to ignore that? This band is equal parts blues, rock, and country, but more than that it’s pretty clear that this band believes in having a good time. The lyrics can be pretty funny...somewhere between Roger Alan Wade and Kinky Friedman. I know two things for sure. first, if I were walking by a bar and heard this band playing, I would go in and listen. Second, once I was inside to hear this band, I know I would have a real good time.

The Devil’s Daughters (Phoenix) thedevilsdaughters.bandcamp.com The rockabilly world seems to be populated with a lot of beautiful women. In The Devil’s Daughters, two of those beautiful rockabetties are the vocalists. This band has a classic rockabilly sound. When you listen, it’s easy to picture the swing dancing that must go on at one of this band’s shows. Two hot singers backed by some very fine rockabilly players...who could ask for anything more?

The Money Makers (A Coruna, Spain) themoneymakers.es When you explore music, you realize what a great effect American music has had on bands throughout the world. How else to explain a band from Spain that sounds a lot like The Black Crowes? That’s right. This band is from Spain and plays a bluesy southern rock like you have come to know from bands like The Black Crowes. Oh, and there is a pretty healthy dose of Skynyrd in there too. While the whole EP From the Misty Mountain is pretty good, “Sweet Black Angel” is my favorite, mostly for the harmonica (although the slide guitar in this song is pretty good too).

The Brass Action 11:34 - Hell O’Clock EP thebrassaction.com

This band from Perugia, Italy, is quite hard to describe. The prevailing sound is psychedelic with a healthy dose of rock and roll. There is also a soul component. The horns in “Soul Song #1” kind of catch you off guard after the psychedelic sounds that precede it. This song feels a lot like a Stevie Wonder tune.

Cabinet Leap cabinet.bandcamp.com

The Mahones Angels & Devils themahones.ca

I’ll admit, when I saw this on Bandcamp, my first thought was that the band’s name breaks one of my band commandments. Namely, it has a generic name that doesn’t Google well. I mean, it could just as easily be Taxi Cabinet or something like that. Am I wrong? So maybe the name doesn’t Google well, but the band sounds good. It would be easy to call this a bluegrass band, as long as you don’t say that to a bluegrass traditionalist. After all, this band has drums. Still, it has a banjo and fiddle and it’s clear that these guys grew up listening to bluegrass (just listen to the multi-part harmony in “Heavy Rain”). The thing about this band is that the sound is so clean. These are guys that have obviously mastered their instruments and played together for a while. If you like Old Crow Medicine Show and other string bands, this is a band you’ll enjoy.

If you’re looking for long, epic albums, The Mahones is not the band for you. If on the other hand you are looking for hard-driving Celtic punk where a lot of the songs are about drinking, then The Mahones is a good band to know. Yes, this album does bring The Pogues to mind, but not in the sense that The Mahones are trying to copy The Pogues. Rather it is in the sense that it this a great Celtic punk CD. One of the songs rivals “Fairytale of New York” by The Pogues for a classic song about Christmas and drinking. It includes the lyrics “You daft Irish bastard, what did you say? You promised you wouldn’t drink on Christmas day.” Like I said...classic. This album features a guest appearance by Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys among others. Whether you want to get warmed up for St. Paddy’s or just enjoy punk rock, this is an album you need to check out.

We’re not ashamed to admit that we like ska here at Incognito HQ. And why not? It is uptempo music that usually puts us in a good mood. The Brass Action certainly is a band that puts us in a good mood. How could you possibly help it with those horns and those rhythms? This is a band that works some psychedelic sounds (“The Handyman”) and some metal and hardcore If you want a real example of how difficult this sounds (“11:34: Hell O’Clock”) into its infectious band is to define, just listen to the title track. It ska. And yeah, it is a little unusual to have horns starts out funky, like the intro to a blaxploitation with hardcore guitars, but this band makes it film. From there it moves to a 70s funk-rock work. If you want something that will get your sound and then to this sort of psychedelic ballad knees up in the air, check out The Brass Action. sound before returning to the energetic funkrock sound. Normally I try to think about what is the perfect setting for listening to a particular album. In this case, the perfect time to listen is anytime you want to enjoy some music.

The Guest List: The 5 Most Underrated Hip Hop Albums

by Stuart Miller of I’mU

Sometime in my late teens, amidst a fog of drug experimentation, sexual frustration and a constant identity crisis, I discovered underground hip hop. To that point, I’d been content to pretend that it was acceptable for me to listen to mainstream rap and act like I could relate to the subject matter: being a gangster, pimpin’ bitches, bustin’ caps and stackin’ paper. I had no idea that there was an entire world of MC’s dedicated to bearing their souls and telling the truth about their lives. I couldn’t believe that the same bone-shaking bass lines and unreal drum beats could go hand in hand with profound lyrics that inspired me to share my own story. This genre and its masters gave me the confidence to express myself, even though I am, and always will be a short, Stuart Miller (above) of I’mU. dorky looking white MC with an unorthodox Photo courtesy of Stuart Miller. vocabulary and delivery. If you’ve never heard these albums, do yourself a favor and listen to are electric, even though they’re performed in them start to finish; maybe they’ll inspire you to Japanese. Production from Eligh and The express yourself in your own way without fear. Grouch, standout performances by everyone in the crew and consistently catchy tracks make 5) “Almost Famous” by Living Legends this album one of the best I’ve heard.

3) “Lucy Ford” by Atmosphere When I hear Slug spit raps, I hear a man who is as down to earth as anyone to ever command a microphone. “Guns and Cigarettes” and “It Goes” make you feel as though your hearing Slug tell you his story over beers at a bar, while “Free or Dead” and “Nothing but Sunshine” will take you to the edge of tears. My favorite on this album, and one of my favorites of all time is, “The Woman with the Tattooed Hands,” a song that gives us men a sliver of hope that one day we may understand how women think.

I’mU is an instrumental psychedelic and experimental band from Long Beach, California. There may not be any lyrics in this band’s songs, but there is plenty of intensity. Drummer Stuart Miller takes us into territory we don’t visit very frequently here at Incognito and gives us his five most underrated hip-hop albums.

This album is as close to commercial as it can get while still being distinctly underground. “Gotta Question For Ya” and “Night Prowler” set the tone early with adrenaline and grit, encompassing the best of rap in a sleekly delivered hip-hop package. “Black Glass” and “What Would I Be” get your mind working, while “Nothing Less” plucks your heart strings. “Rabbit Hole” gives a fresh breath of life to an old favorite, Eligh’s impeccable beat making mastery bumping through every measure, while Arata’s verses

and orchestra driven tones. I used to put the instrumental version of this album on in my car during long drives and freestyle for hours.

4) “3030” by Deltron Zero Literally, this album blew my mind. Dan the Automator and DJ Kid Koala brought beats to life that to this day live in a world no other hip hop album has touched. “3030” and “Things You Can Do” are basically immaculate conceptions, while songs like “Virus” and “Turbulence” arouse the rebel in all of us with their satirical, slicing verses. “Mastermind” is a masterpiece that tickles the spine with its abstract rhymes

Incognito Music, Models, and More (January 2013)

2) “Sidewaydaze” by Eligh Of all the albums I’ve mentioned, this one has perhaps the most soul. Eligh has said throughout his career that his production skills trump his lyrical delivery, and I have always (respectfully) disagreed. “One Day” and “Second Chances” have as much personality and expression as any track I’ve heard, while “Makeshift Message” and “Elec. Trickman” have a witty cynicism that can’t be equaled. I also love that he included a number of goofy, expressive tracks featuring unique samples and vocal impressions by the MC himself. This album is a true classic. 1) “Personal Journals” by Sage Francis It starts with “Crack Pipes” and ends with “Runaways:” two of the absolute greatest pieces of hip hop ever created. These tracks will not only make your head nod, they will make your cheeks wet. “Inherited Scars” and “Specialist” hit harder than a UFC fighter, while “Climb Trees” and “Message Sent” are intelligently written, excellent songs. “Hopeless” contains some of the best lyrics I’ve ever heard, and being recorded live and without a beat only makes it more impressive. This guy has an emotional intensity that’s mostly absent from this genre, and he was at his absolute best on this album; this is what greatness sounds like, and by the way, this guy is incredibly engaging and profound live. Cheers.

The Flashback Eddie Bo and The Soul Finders The Hook and Sling (1969)

life. Eddie Bo calls this “checking your bucket.” As in, if she just doesn’t seem that into you anymore, check your bucket for holes. It’s not only good advice, but also a good funky melody. This album is full of funky grooves that will get you moving and singing along. The Hook and Sling is a pretty good name for this album because it’s pretty easy to get hooked on the funky goodness of Eddie Bo and The Soul Finders.

Also for those it a cute idea? Absolutely. Realistic? I’m not so keeping up with my blog, thank you! I know sure. this month has been even sparser than usual when it comes to entries. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back into the swing of things soon! In the meantime, here’s our three picks for the month. If you were to ask me how I found Eddie Bo and The Soul Finders, I probably wouldn’t be able to tell you with any accuracy. The truth is that I don’t remember how I encountered this band although it may have been when I was randomly exploring New Orleans funk and soul. Regardless of how I found this band, I’m glad I did. this album begins with the title track, which will get you in the groove, particularly with the bass line that is sure to get your backside moving. Plus, you have to admire Eddie Bo’s way with words. As he’s encouraging dancing, he particularly calls out “You over there with the big yams.” I don’t know about you, but I’m all in favor of bringing back the term yams in that context.

Admit- disapprove of teaching kids throwing snowballs tedly, Robert De Niro sort of surprised me here; I at each other’s heads as a good idea, I think this think I completely believed him as Bradley Coo- movie did a great job with most everything else.

From James Brown to Isaac Hayes, funk and soul artists have always advocated “doing your thing.” Eddie Bo is no different. He sings “If it’s good to you, it’s good for you.” Maybe medically speaking that’s not true, but it’s still a good way to advocate doing what you like no matter what others say. “Don’t worry about what the next fella is doing. Just do your thing.” Sound advice. Did I mention that Eddie Bo has a way with words? Lots of music artists have advised that you keep an eye on that special someone in your 24

The characters are likable, the story is cute, and there’s a good amount of humor as well. I also thought for once even the antagonist was pretty likable in his own way. It’s one of those movies where when I came out of the theater, I couldn’t help but say to myself, “gosh, I wish they’d make more like this.”

Don’t Be That Guy

The Ratings 5 Stars: A great movie that can be considered timeless or classic. (Equivalent to an A+) 4.5 Stars: Solid story, but may leave a few plot ends loose or there may be inconsistencies. (Equivalent to an A, A-) 4 Stars: Good story, but there’s clear room for improvement in some areas. (Equivalent to a B+, B) 3.5 Stars: A movie lacking in “wow” factor. (Equivalent to a B-) 3 Stars: Flat average viewing experience; not great, but not horrible either. (Equivalent to a C+)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

2.5 Stars: A movie that passes the time; watch Starring: Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Rich- in theaters if you have an itch to see a movie. (Equivalent to a C) ard Armitage Runtime: 169 minutes 2 Stars: More of a DVD rental type of movie. Fans of The Lord of the Rings (2001 – 2003) (Equivalent to a C-) trilogy may find themselves a tad disappointed. In my opinion, this movie wasn’t nearly as intense as those were; however, what it lacks in drama it makes up for with plenty of humor. This is the kind of movie that will likely make people want to go back and watch the trilogy with Elijah Wood. Speaking of which, he has a very tiny cameo here, so if that’s who you’re going for, you’re wasting your time. I personally went for Martin Freeman, who I became more aware of after his role in the Sherlock series on BBC. (If you haven’t seen him and Benedict Cumberbatch in that, and you’re a Holmes fan, then you should see it. They’re amazing and exactly how I picture a modern-day Holmes and Watson.) Be warned, this is one very long movie. Oh, and the obvious cliffhanger to make room for more.

1.5 Stars: Very difficult to stay interested; at times seems to drag or go on too long. (Equivalent to a D+) 1 Star: Very little perks; consider as a rainy day movie. (Equivalent to a D) 1/2 Star: A very select few may enjoy this movie. (Equivalent to a D-) 0 Stars: Boring; great movie to catch your Z’s in–may have been a pain to finish or impossible to finish–possibly even a movie someone would walk out on. (Equivalent to an F) Ratings scale based on, but differs slightly from cuttingedgecreativity.wordpress.com.

You see him coming down the hall and you’re instantly more terrified than you are of any zombie. After all, you’ve never encountered a real zombie. You look for another corridor to duck into. There isn’t one between you and him. As the distance between you closes, you hope that if you don’t make eye contact, you’ll be fine. No such luck. He has targeted you because you’re the nearest warm body. “Say, you’re a guy who likes movies,” he says. Whether his statement is true or not is immaterial. He’s already locked in. He starts telling you about the latest movie he has seen. After five minutes of this, you are desperately hoping that someone pages you or needs you for something, but the PA is silent and the hallways are empty of other people. No one is coming to your rescue. You are stuck with this guy. After 10 minutes, you’re looking for the nearest rusty nail you can gash yourself with, but he’s still not done. He spends 20 minutes telling you about this movie in such detail that seeing the movie for yourself even if you were interested in it would be pointless. Of course it would have been nice for him to ask if you want to see this particular movie, but that might have cut his monologue short. He has not noticed that your eyes glazed over about 40 seconds into his monologue, nor has he noticed that you have responded to him much like you would respond to your wife or girlfriend, “Uh huh. Yeah. Hmmm.” After all, if he’s fascinated by something, you must be just as fascinated. He finishes by repeating the title of the movie (which is a good thing because you have forgotten it) and saying, “It’s a really good film. You should check it out.” You know him. You work with him and avoiding him is a victory. He is the guy who cannot tell a story in less than 20 minutes. Don’t be that guy.

ASK UNCLE SAL

In Our Next Issue...

Dear Uncle Sal, About these January White sales, is it okay to buy new towels and sheets every year even if the old ones still have a little fluff left in them and buy other colors than white because it seems like the whole department is up for grabs, not just the white ones. I just don’t know.

We help you forget about winter (at least for a while) with surf bands Thee Swank Bastards and Kill, Baby...Kill!

Bringing in the Sheets

Hey Uncle Sal: Me and my old lady like to hit a nice restaurant once a week, and she always brings home half her food. “Stay out of that,” she always says. “I’m eating that for lunch tomorrow.” But she never does, and it sits in the fridge all week. You ever try to eat half a week-old Whopper with extra onions? So I want to know, should I just eat it the next day and tick her off, or not eat it and miss out on an awesome snack? What do you say?

Bringing, that’s a heckuva question. I reckon it’s OK to buy new towels and sheets every year...if ya got more money than ya know what to do with. I mean, if yer wipin’ yer nose with twenny dollar bills, I reckon you can buy new towels just about anytime ya want. Towels handmade by Estonian supermodels with Egyptian cotton. Most of us don’t have the luxury of fallin’ asleep on a pile of money, but if ya got it, ya can do what ya want with it. Anywho, I ain’t never been to a January white sale, but seems to me that selling only white towels and sheets is a pretty silly thing to do. So I say go crazy and get some colored towels. Heck, get towels with stripes if ya wanna. Don’t let them advertisers tell ya that ya can only buy white towels at them January white sales.

Stewing in Stinkweed Wait a minute, Stewing. I thought you said you and yer ol’ lady went to a nice restaurant once a week. Last I checked the Whopper is from Burger King. But I guess that ain’t the issue here. To answer yer first question, no I ain’t never tried to eat a week-old Whopper. And to be honest, I wouldn’t want to be around someone that did. Hey, lemme ask ya sump’n. Did ya see any visions after eatin’ that Whopper with extra onions after a week in the fridge?

Gary's Favorite Quotes Pt. 3 “The world is your oyster, but you’re allergic to shellfish.”

Here’s what I would do if I was you. I’d eat that Whopper the next day even though yer ol’ lady told ya not to. One of two things is gonna happen. First, she’s gonna be mad at ya and prolly not talk to ya fer a couple days. I got news for ya. That ain’t gonna be the first or last time that happens and at least you’ll have gotten half a burger out of it. The other thing that could happen is that yer ol’ lady learns to eat her leftovers instead of letting ‘em ferment in the fridge for a week, which has gotta be good fer both of ya.
