• Review: GWAR at the Beaumont Club

  GWAR, Kingdom of Sorrow, Toxic Holocaust Sunday, November 30 The Beaumont Club Better than: Being eaten by a giant snake When I was 13 years old, I had a Sega Genesis video-game system. I treasured this for several reasons. One of these was the Beavis and Butthead game, which was a quest to reassemble your shredded GWAR tickets, make it to the concert on time and eventually become one of the band's slaves on stage in leather bondage gear. I played this game over and over again to get to that

• WTF? Gwar's Urungus Defeats Tracy Smothers

  Let me attempt to explain this as best I can, because I follow professional wrestling, and something like this is beyond even my ability to rationalize. First off, Tracy Smothers is a real professional wrestler, and is probably best known for holding the ECW tag titles with Little Guido. Urungus is best known for fronting GWAR and violently dismembering audience members.

It's not that this is played out -- I am just tired of seeing your genitals. I am comfortable neither with seeing Hunx's penis used as a microphone, nor seeing one of the dudes from Rammstein blow a load. Thanks to the video for the Flaming Lips' "Watching the Planets," I've now seen Wayne Coyne's penis, and I'm
