New Pornographer Is Out To Expose Some Assholes
So New Porno AC Newman kvetched in a Nerve.com interview that he gets salty when critics have the temerity to call his power-pop band dorky or geeky or whatever. (We know, right?) “What’s funny is that [critics] who call us a nerdy band are infinitely nerdier than us,” Newman said. “As if the writer is James Spader in a John Hughes movie or something. It’s been a dream of mine to start a website that has pictures of rock writers, with little captions that say, ‘Look at this asshole.’ But if you’re nice, you stay off the list…You won’t suffer the wrath of my blog, which will be called lookatthisasshole.blogspot. I’m only after the people who shouldn’t be seen.” The Village Voice noted that “at press post time, the blogger account lookatthisasshole.blogspot.com had not been claimed.” Well, the proprietors of Idolator are now the proud owners of Look At This Asshole! thanks to Maura’s quick thinking. We’re not quite sure what we’re gonna do with it yet. But if you’ve got any ideas, feel free to shoot ’em out way.
