Nathan Tyree: Terminator X
Last night I was in the local Hastings looking to buy season 10 of The Simpsons. While browsing I noticed that they had on their shelves several copies of something called Flavor of Love. Flava Flav was on the box art, so I assumed (wrongly) that it was that show in which Old Flav is doing Brigitte Nielson. I had seen about five minutes of that show at a friends house and was shocked to find that someone found this entertaining. It turns out that the program for sale at Hastings is like a dating game show featuring Flav. This sounds even less fun.

All of this got me to thinking. Really, Chuck D was the brain behind Public Enemy. Flava was just the clown out front. I liked PE as a kid but really haven’t listened much in the last few years.

In totally unrelated news:

Social Disease
I finally received my contributor copy of The Flash from Social Disease Books. I have to say that Social Disease produces a lovely book. The thing looks and feels great. The binding is solid, the cover art is beautiful, it has a nice heft. All in all they did a great job.
I’m particularly glad about this since I am going to be featured in the new 3:AM anthology, which is also being published by Social Disease. That one will be coming up pretty soon and I’m really looking forward to it.
