But Did You Know that Jeff Styles Sits on His Couch Every Night Eating Moosetracks and Watching The English Patient?

At the online urging of Bill, I wandered out to the top of the Erlanger parking garage at 11:30 to sit in the Big Purple Van O'Love and listen to Pulse editors Zach & Michael pitch the mag on Talk Radio WGOW 102.3.

You know, it's never a great sign when someone mentions your name right after the phrase, "Speaking of being pretentious...", which is what WGOW deejay Jeff Styles did about halfway through the broadcast. As I sat in the van smoking, I discovered that Styles took umbrage with my listing Eraserhead as a personal top ten movie. "Nobody likes Eraserhead," he said. "He should just fess up. You know he goes home at night and watches a movie with some T&A in it."

This might be a good time to mention that I've actually never seen Eraserhead, and that my only mention of it in the Pulse was while reporting the favorite movies of a local filmmaker. (Also, it should be noted that liking David Lynch and enjoying T&A aren't incompatable pleasures. I'm not saying they're my pleasures, at least not on the record. I'm just noting.) But I suppose any publicity is good publicity. So, here's to ya, Jeff. Maybe we can catch a showing of Eurotrip this week.
