This Sunday (May 15th) our very special in-studio guests are love experts Marni Kinrys a.k.a. Wing Girl and Michael Des Barres. Wing Girl has developed her own pro-female method for success to help men with dating and relationships. Meanwhile, Michael Des Barres is known for his erotic poetry and his ‘hands on’ work in the field. This week’s show will therefore be a roundtable discussion of love, sex and relationships from both the male and female perspectives.

“We’re making a zombie movie, but really they’re just hungry.”
– Larry Fessenden, producer
Despite the success of the Twilight franchise, real vampire movies are alive and well. I found out as much in November 2009, when, on behalf of SuicideGirls I took a drive up to Woodstock, NY, to visit the set of Stake Land, a low-budget horror film that eschews sparkly, boy-band vamps in favor of the more traditional, animalistic bloodsuckers we all know and love.
Writer/director Jim Mickle, who made the rounds a few years ago with his much talked-about indie-horror film Mulberry Street, is the brain behind the project, a road movie that takes place in a post-apocalyptic North America, years after a war between vampires and humans has left the entire continent in ruins and relegated survivors to a medieval existence, living hand-to-mouth and traveling together in tightly-formed, armed brigades.
INTO: Nerds, people who are pretty on the inside, and texting.
NOT INTO: Jocks, bros, meatheads, Republicans, driving, the texture of chalupas, and the bottom of pizza.
MAKES ME HAPPY: My girlfriend, my bunny, buying new underwear, reading, learning, and spending time with my BFF Dillan.
MAKES ME SAD: When people purposely make me jealous, when people are picked on, Republicans, when people make jokes about eating my bunny, waking up early, following a routine and way they messed up the Eragon movie.

Alexander McQueen, ‘l’enfant terrible’ of British fashion, is having a truly global moment.
As some of the most famous people in the world gathered in outlandish creations for the Met Gala, which this year celebrated the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s McQueen retrospective (Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, which has attracted 46,000 visitors in its opening week – a Met record), it was hard for a dedicated follower of fashion not to wonder what its namesake would have felt about all this attention.
What defines a healthy relationship? People are always judging relationships, their own and other peoples, comparing them to those we see in real life, on TV, in romantic comedy movies. Is there really such a thing as a healthy relationship? I know that as a bartender I am surrounded by unhealthy lifestyles, so by default I think any relationship I find is most likely going to be unhealthy. I have this image in my head of the 9-5 types that gather at a few bars I’ve been to downtown, young professionals with their loosened ties and top button unbuttoned, holding a beer (only one, they have work tomorrow) and living their perfect lives. These are the kind of bars I run from, but some reason I feel like “downtown” is a lifestyle, a perfection in healthy relationships that I will never have.
“It’s an exciting time to be in entertainment”
– Billy Morrison
Billy Morrison has always wanted to be part of a rock & roll circus. He may have forgone the greasy handlebar moustache, top hat and striped pantaloons, but with his new band Circus Diablo – quite literally “the devil’s circus” – Morrison seems to have found himself a group of misfit musicians that share his taste for all things sweaty, dirty and flashy…or in other words, all things rock & roll. “This band thrives when placed on a very thin tightrope,” Morrison says. “Fuck the safety nets.”
With a collective resume that includes bands The Cult, Fuel, the Almighty and Camp Freddy, the members of Circus Diablo know all about getting down and dirty with their music. Completed by Billy Duffy (guitar), Ricky Warwick (guitar), Brett Scallions (bass), and Charles Ruggiero (drums), the band released its self-titled debut on July 3rd and have kept busy touring the country and recruiting fans for what they’ve dubbed the “Church of Diablo.”
