Moving into academia after a career in the field of “taking your clothes off on the internet” can be tricky, however tattoos might actually have an upside professionally. A 2010 study published in the journal Psychological Reports found that college instructors with visible tattoos are perceived more positively by undergraduate students.

This Sunday (April 3rd) our very special in-studio guest will be drummer extraordinaire, and all-round top dude, Josh Freese.

Fresh off a tour with Devo, the wacky skin whacker will be in-studio talking about his forthcoming E.P., My New Friends (a follow-up of sorts to 2009’s Since 1972), and the novel way he plans on pimping it.

“I consider immature men to be my peers and my homies.”
– Diablo Cody
Over the next few months, Hollywood’s hottest writer, Diablo Cody, will see her second and third scripts rushed into development. One of those, Girly Style, is a girl’s version of Superbad. The other is a horror film called Jennifer’s Body, starring Transformers’ Megan Fox, and it’s about – wait for it – a cheerleader that eats boys. Literally. If you want to know what kind of mind could come up with such a thing, a good place to start is with Cody’s 2005 memoir Candy Girl, which chronicles her unlikely journey from teenage miscreant in a punk band called Yak Spackle to achingly ordinary office drone to topless dancer (she went by Roxanne and other names) to popular blogger to aspiring screenwriter in her late twenties.

Jim, a.k.a. Reprobate, was a friend to many members of SuicideGirls, especially those from Los Angeles, where he once lived, and, more recently, New Orleans, where he relocated a few years ago. Around 4AM on the morning of March 22nd, Jim was sitting with a friend on a dock overlooking the Mississippi River when it collapsed, dumping both of them into the deep and swift-moving water. His friend made it safely back to shore. Jim never did. This morning it appears that his body has been located among the wreckage of the dock, and authorities have begun recovery efforts. He was 42.
Directed by Joe Wright (whose previous credits include Atonement and The Soloist), Hanna is a boldly original suspense thriller which stars Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan (Atonement and The Lovely Bones), Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth: The Golden Age and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), and Eric Bana (Star Trek and The Time Traveler’s Wife).
Hanna (Ronan) is a teenage girl who has the strength, the stamina, and the smarts of a soldier; these come from being raised by her father (Bana), an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Finland. Living a life unlike any other teenager, her upbringing and training have been one and the same, all geared to making her the perfect assassin. The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one; sent into the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Blanchett). As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and unexpected questions about her humanity.
To mark the release of the film, which will be in theaters on April 8, SG has teamed up with Focus Features and is giving away 25 pairs of tickets to advanced screenings of Hanna in each of 7 cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and New York) + 1 month’s free membership to SuicideGirls.
