How To Survive Very Cheaply On Tour

How To Survive Very Cheaply On Tour

Touring in a band is great. You know why? Mostly because you get to live with pretty much zero responsibility. All you really have to do is make sure that you hydrate yourself and show up to play your set on time. After that, it’s all gravy. Just kidding! Maybe...
The Black Lips Show Us Atlanta, As Told By Our Cell Phones

The Black Lips Show Us Atlanta, As Told By Our Cell Phones

This past weekend we traveled to Hotlanta to visit The Black Lips, mostly because they told us they were playing a show with our YouTube heroes Riff Raff and Eli Porter, which prompted Rachey (after several drinks) to book us tickets on her cell phone (squinty one-eye open style I...
Today In Catty MET Gala Conversations

Today In Catty MET Gala Conversations

My pal Jayne and I got together on the internets to chat about the looks at the MET gala, a fancy exclusive party we will probably (99.9%) never ever be invited to, while sitting in our respective offices wearing some combination of muscle tees and ripped flannels, because that is...
Dear Frances Bean Cobain

Dear Frances Bean Cobain

  Dear Frances Bean, I feel like I know you since I just saw your two-year-old butt in the new Patty Schemel documentary “Hit So Hard”. Your father was pinching it as you hung onto the edge of the bathtub and giggled. I bet you get this all the time,...
Monday Mix: Spring Cleaning My Heart

Monday Mix: Spring Cleaning My Heart

Let’s not sugarcoat it, my concept of a love song is more in tune with what some would call a break-up song (Ed note: Some being mostly all). But lately, serendipitously, my heart has been filled with birds and flowers. Someone cranked up the dial on my emotions, and all...
Coachella: As Told By Our Phones

Coachella: As Told By Our Phones

We went to both weekends of Coachella because we’re sick masochists and also because it was ALL OF THE FUN. We took a bunch of photos with our iPhones so we could call it content, and here they are in all their glory, three days after the second Coachella weekend...
Fuck Marry Kill: FIDLAR

Fuck Marry Kill: FIDLAR

Let’s be honest: who HASN’T felt like a crackhead? Okay, a lot of people, probably, but not us (please see THIS), and definitely not FIDLAR, who has a song on their new EP (out today) Don’t Try about this very feeling. “No Waves” is a sweetly plaintive song about mixed...

AskMen.com Asked Yasi Who Asked Me

Generally I dispense unsolicited love and relationship advice, but not this time! Today my assistance has been specifically requested. Kind of. As you learned a few weeks ago, our very own Yasi has been helping the fine readers of Askmen.com to navigate the complicated realm of the lady brain. It’s been said this is harder...
Fixers x WCD x Delicious Pierogies

Fixers x WCD x Delicious Pierogies

A couple weeks ago, I met up with the boys of Oxford, UK band FIXERS and introduced them to the delicacy that is the pierogi.  Living in Greenpoint, I try to ignore the elderly Polish women who don’t understand the concept of personal space or paying for things with dollar bills instead of lose change,...
Monday Mix: Toaster Tunez

Monday Mix: Toaster Tunez

In honor of this week’s forthcoming Cultist AskMen.com column (who has two thumbs and is completely unqualified to give advice to anyone? THIS GUY), I thought I’d share with you this mix. This week’s column deals with knowing when you’re in love, but also with knowing when and how to say so. (It’ll be up...
My Best Friend's Wedding (No Julia Roberts)

My Best Friend’s Wedding (No Julia Roberts)

So my best friend is getting married, and I am beyond ecstatic for her. She and I used to joke (in grave seriousness) that we’d be alone forever. We fancied ourselves unwifeable, unmanageable, and unable to be domesticated. After ten years of friendship and an unquantifiable amount of vodka, Thai food, tears, couching, complaining, and...
Nick Waterhouse: 'Some Place'

Nick Waterhouse: ‘Some Place’

We heart Nick Waterhouse. Under that grumpy old man exterior there is an awesome old man who loves R&B, cardigans, making really good music, and me (actually the latter is questionable but I like to pretend he’s my best friend while I tell his picture all of my secrets, which isn’t weird at all okay?)....

Real Talk: A Cultist Column For AskMen.com

  So in the long-standing tradition of the blind leading the blind, we have a new column on AskMen.com in which we guide the men of the internet even though we are mostly unqualified to do so. The columns will mostly be written by this winner, with guest appearances by other Cultist ladies. You can...
Textual Chemistry: Tanlines

Textual Chemistry: Tanlines

We are so into Tanlines it’s borderline unhealthy (or so our therapists say). What, just because the only music I’ll listen to in the car (while dancing/singing/beating vigorously on the dashboard) is their new album Mixed Emotions (with extra repeats on the tracks “Brothers” and “All Of Me”)? Or because we’re probably responsible for 9,000...
Ask Some Jane

Ask Some Jane

Welcome back to Ask Some Guy. Today’s “expert” is not a guy, it’s actually a girl, in fact it’s Jane! When Jane isn’t talking about herself she’s writing as if she’s someone else and talking about herself (like right now) and also answering pressing personal questions for other people because she’s a selfless individual. If...
Cultist Crush: Trust

Cultist Crush: Trust

I am obsessed with Trust. Not the virtue (which is perfectly nice), but the electro-goth duo from Toronto. For lack of a better word, they are creeeeepy. They are creepy, creepy goth people whose music makes my body undulate and throb and desire. When I first heard “Candy Walls” I died 400 times and came...
I'm A Bad Feminist, Are You?

I’m A Bad Feminist, Are You?

I suffer from a lot of self-imposed guilt including but not limited to: hangover guilt, heterosexual guilt (deriving from the fact that, although I identify as bisexual, I have a male partner and therefore am “passable” as heterosexual in the eyes of the masses and exempt from all homophobic sentiments), as well as “bad” feminist...

A Conversation With The Weeknd

A Conversation With The Weeknd

Last weekend we went to Coachella (let us live okay? #nofurryboots). We were too busy having the best time ever to do much by way of interviews or photos or anything else you probably want to see, but we did have a few interesting interactions. Here’s a transcription from my brain of a conversation we...
