Jason Diamond needs to stop accomplishing... →
Jason Diamond wears many hats. He’s the founder of the awesome and aptly named Diamond Days music festival. He’s an editor at Heeb Magazine.

In addition to all this, he found the time to found the awesome catch-all art, music, culture blog Hexed Journal.

Guys! Can we discuss how horrible The City was? I made it through about seven minutes before I had to turn it off in utter disgust. I mean, I wasn’t expecting The Wire, but I’m someone who thoroughly enjoyed two and a half seasons of The Hills. I love all of the Real Housewives. I even liked Laguna Beach! Which is all my way of saying: My tolerance for bad reality television is quite high....

The whole thing makes me emotional because Mike Watt was simply crushed after losing his soul mate, his best friend since he was 13. They were two geeks who helped create a movement that would make a bunch of other freaks feel like they weren’t alone. And played damn good music too. After D. Boon died, Mike Watt thought about...

Now this is where I get a little wonky. But as I was reading it—right after I read the Klein...

My friend Tara Littman, the President of Support Shirts, is a designer whose work was picked up by Urban Outfitters a few months ago for sale in some of their stores and on their website. The style Urban chose was the work of her and her boyfriend Travis, a shirt that proclaims “I Support Same Sex Marriage.” Lots of my friends...
