Meathead Rock

So you might have heard that trendy nerd posers are taking over New York. No worry. One look at Billboard's rock charts and you'll see that the meatheads still rule the airwaves. In this audio post, you get to hear some music from my new band, The Guy Ernest Explosion.

Guy Ernest Hemingway

After reading this timeline on nerd history, I was inspired to write a timeline of meathead history. The most important novelist in meathead history is Ernest Hemingway. In my audio post I read my Ernest Hemingway-style short story. In fact, I think I'll make the title of this post Guy Ernest Hemingway.
