]]> <![CDATA[Asylum.com Looking to Hire Chuck Klosterman Type]]> Being a rock critic was impressively cool for about five minutes in the late sixties. Now it's pretty much a holding pattern for recent college grads who are waiting for a real writing job to open up.

That said, I saw an amazing set by Elf Power at Mercury Lounge last night, and they'll be Union something ... Hall? ... in Park Slope tonight.

]]> <![CDATA[Asylum.com Looking to Hire Chuck Klosterman Type]]> Chuck Klosterman is the epitome of our generation's low standards. Reading his books is the thought equivalent of jerking off with your other hand to make it seem like it's a real handjob.

It's sad enough that he thinks it's worth his (and our) time to complain that Billy Joel is unfairly passed over while Springsteen's music is lauded as worthwhile, it's another to be totally fucking wrong.

Guy's a real Emerson.

]]> <![CDATA[Asylum.com Looking to Hire Chuck Klosterman Type]]> this is lamer than the Interview intern pop quiz. I actually bought a doublepak of Chocula and Frankenberry at Costco a while back. They've actually reformatted it; we threw it out. Fortunately, Lucky the Leprechaun took me back.

]]> <![CDATA[Asylum.com Looking to Hire Chuck Klosterman Type]]> @moff: A career in pop culture, especially rock and roll, is the best way over invented of postponing adulthood indefinitely. Even death can be regarded as no more than an especially intense riff.

]]> <![CDATA[Asylum.com Looking to Hire Chuck Klosterman Type]]> This ad's even better. (Though at "$10 an entry," you'd better be prepared to live on Frankenberry cereal permanently.)

Copywriter needed for Pop Culture website - paying freelance gig!

We are: an online compendium of pop culture history with an irreverent sense of humor combined with utter reverence for Witchie-Poo, the Bee Gees, and the Six Million Dollar Man's boss, among others.

If you are: a cheeky copywriter who uses a clever turn of phrase and the proper spelling of "its" [and, for bonus points, has the ability to name the Six Million Dollar Man's boss]

Then you should: send a writing sample for our review! 100-250 words, preferably witty non-fiction or essay. Think wikipedia if it were smart and funny.

And we might: hire you as a freelance copywriter, at $10 an entry. Or chat with you at length about the merits of Godzilla. In all likelihood, we would do both.
