Akron Smells
Pitchfork reviews the new Black Keys album and while not too infatuated by it, they seem even less pleased with Akron which is described as, “a city that’s not quite East Coast or Midwestern and has vaguely smelled like burning tires every time I’ve driven through it.”
Smoke Break
All those no smoking signs on airplanes won’t be necessary soon. Next spring Smokers International Airways will launch two 747s. Now, before all you smokers start salivating, let me mention these flights go from Germany to Tokyo. But hell, if Hooters can have an airline in the US why can’t Marlboro?
Little Tikes For Sale; Pedophiles Elated, Then Disapointed It Was Only Toy Company
You like that title? I thought it was a bit wordy, but I needed to use that joke somehow. Anyway, Little Tikes in Hudson was sold to MGA Entertainment, the makers of Bratz dolls. Ohio employees are a bit fearful they will be joining the ranks of the unemployed, but MGA claims manufacturing and warehousing will stay in Ohio. Wow, this article is getting a bit too serious. You know I used to work in a toy store and I had to assemble some Little Tikes houses.
MFC Growth Spurt
There is a new review up in the ol’ reviews section. This one sports the name of Peter Moysaenko, a Cleveland playboy and man about town. Expect more music related output in the near future cause we are going places people.

Akron is pretty much the best place ever, the center of the universe. We have given many gifts to the world, including but not limited to Devo, sauerkraut balls, and the vulcanization of rubber.
