Most embarrassing moment this week: I farted in a Barnes and Noble. It was very ladylike.

Favorite Staff Moment: Ha… Justin and I trying to figure out how to make a podcast while in an altered state. I’ll let you decide what you think “altered state” means. (Editor’s Note: I never did figure it out, so if anyone has any suggestions as to how to get the damn thing up there let me know.)

Name: Bradley Thomas

Position: The Critic

Album of the Week: Converge - Axe to Fall (album of the year, more like it!)

Song Obsession: “Dismantle the Dictator” - Revocation. Best metal band in years, and the jazzy lead-into-bluesy-solo part is straight up reminiscent of Dimebag Darrell. Gets me air guitaring every time!

Movie You HAVE to see or saw: Zombieland. Best horror movie of the year, and possibly best comedy of the year. I really wanna see Law-Abiding Citizen as well. Gerard Butler is a boss.

Favorite article of clothing: My new BDM shirt I suppose

Most random text message this week: “Lemme see that dick!” - my boy Luis, shortly after bragging about how hot his new gf is

Most embarrassing moment this week: Tripping over some uneven pavement at school and almost eatin shit. Me=poor balance

Geek Indulgence: Finished re-watching all the seasons so far of Lost

Funniest follower tweet:

@RyanLikesGarlic: I wish I was bigger, hairier, and balding so I could be Billy Mays for Halloween. What up @strongerthanall

Name: Kat Mae Attack

Position: Managing Editor

Album of the Week:
Maximum Penalty - Life and Times

Song Obsession: 
Converge - Wretched World

Movie You HAVE to see or saw: No must-sees for me recently. Mutant Chronicles was bad enough to watch again. I’m too behind on my movies right now.

Favorite article of clothing: Any hoodie I own.

Most random text message: “Sometimes a man’s gotta strike black gold”

Most embarrassing: I’m full of embarassing moments.. on the daily. This week.. probably zoning on the treadmill and singing super loud to Sclub7.

Funniest follower tweet:
I don’t pay attention enough to remember the best.
@EthanSuplee Dear dapper 75 year old man with the 25 year old vacuous girlfriend that’s laughing like you’re nitrous, you rock. P.S. I hope you have E.D.

Favorite Staff Moment: Ghost/sketch stories with Brad. Justin also told me about his 3pm daily duties that left me lol’ing for a good while.

Comments: Don’t forget we’ll be taking reader suggestions for next week’s Staff Selection questions! My life is about as hectic as it gets right now with traveling and planning for OTN, doin’ my YPA duties, living life, moving, etc. Never a dull moment.
