Gettin’ Bizzy

Posted on by chris Posted in Music | Leave a comment

Well, tomorrow at 6 freaking AM, I’m busting out to San Fran for the sweet, sweet Download Festival. Muse, Beck, TVOTR, Rogue Wave, etc. Stayin’ at the W Hotel, and rumor has it, they have penguin butlers.

When I get back on Sunday, it’s straight to the Orpheum for Massive Attack, then possibly the Middle East for What Made Milwaukee Famous. Gonna be a looooong day.

There will be as many pics, videos, and reviews of all of the above as I can possibly muster posted on QROmag.com. Wish me luck.

Top 5 Austrians (Alive)

Posted on by chris Posted in Articles | 2 Comments

1. Ferdinand Porsche
Technically born in Austria-Hungary and not still alive, he was the father of the Porsche empire of ridiculously cool cars. By that virtue, he may be the coolest man that ever lived.

2. Gaston Glock
Inventor of the Glock, he has armed militaries, police, and petty thugs all over the world against each other. More caps have been busted with Glocks than any other gun.

3. Hermann Maier
World and Olympic Champion skier who once saved thirty orphan babies from a burning monastery on top of Austria’s highest, most dangerous peak. He adopted all thirty.

4. Wolfgang Puck
Master chef and inventor of the hockey puck. Was the first Austrian to make a burrito, and has a statue of him cooking spaghetti in Vienna. Trains sharks in his free time.

5. Christian Fennesz
Electronic artist has made several albums that I officially approve of. The first Austrian to use a synthesizer for good and not evil. Once ate ten blueberry pies in one sitting.

Snowflake the White Gorilla

Posted on by chris Posted in Articles | 1 Comment

Snowflake, the world’s first known albino gorilla, was a pioneer in being held captive in a crappy zoo, as he spent nearly his whole life in the Barcelona Zoo (aka El Agujero del Infierno). Among his accomplishments were fathering no albinos, being on the cover of Basement Jaxx’s Rooty, and defeating an alligator in hand-to-hand combat. He died, predictably, of skin cancer at the age of 40, so if you have any albino gorillas at home, please make sure they wear sunblock.
