Two Tub Mantooth

So here’s some newly recorded material from Slices. We will be releasing two 7″s in the coming months. One on 16oh Records and another on some mystery label out of Winnipeg fronted by a few of those yobs in Under Pressure. This track (”Bottom of the Barrel”) was on our demo […]

I’ve never been what you’d call a “breakfast fanatic.” There are people out there that might try to tell you that it’s “the most important meal of the day,” but these same people are probably telling you to clean up your act and/or get some self-respect. Well I think that anyone familiar with […]

A few years ago I spent some time in a funny little country called Denmark.  I studied there for several months alongside some of the biggest tools The Land of Milk & Honey has to offer.  These are the kinds of people that think it a great idea to say the following:

On Tuesday I was fortunate enough to escape the clutches of death for the 26th year in a row without slipping into the gaping chasm of mental illness forged by my family’s gene/cess pool.   It felt good and I celebrated by eating fatty german food, ice cream cake, and falling asleep.

Ever since I started “blogging” again, I’ve tried to keep in the back of my withered mind the good intention of keeping the content somewhat Pittsburgh-centric.  Looking back on my recent posts, I must say that I’ve failed miserably.  I’ve no intention of repenting, mind you, but merely stating that I’ve fallen dreadfully short of […]

Slices are going on hiatus this summer due to Mike being on tour as Tusk Lord with fellow freaks Mike Tamburo, Hunted Creatures, and Chris “I was in The First Step” Niels.    John will also be “hitting the road” with Fashionable Idiots recording artists Rot Shit.   Mike “Ovens” and I will be stuck in Pittsburgh since […]

It may appear to the untrained eye that I am a man who “has his shit together.” You may look at me and say, “that man really has his motherfuckin SHIT together!”   But let me blow your feeble mind and admit that I have NONE of my shit together.  In fact,  I am a damn […]

Here is a picture of Latke the Redfoot Tortoise.

When I look at this picture I cannot help but hear the soundtrack to Titanic.

It’s been a really long time since I’ve experienced “Casual Friday.”  I haven’t worked in an office for a fairly long time, let alone one that celebrates Fridays so casually.  At first I was downright opposed to all this kicking back/loose, but I think I’m finally starting to get used to this. 
I wasn’t sure how […]
