Waiting With Nathan: one year
One of the strangest and most wonderful columns that Tangmonkey has ever hosted, Waiting With Nathan ran for one year, from October 30, 2002, to November 18, 2003. In these fifty-two episodes, Dan Beirne and actor Nathan Lane talked about film (from Raging Bull to Wayne's World), music (from Radiohead to the Silver Jews), hurt, love, and life. Hilarious, surreal, truthful and broken, these articles are best understood through immersion. Catch up on all the ones you missed, or read them in tandem, like a bleary-eyed late-night revelation.

Cocktail Conspiracies
Six weeks in, Tangmonkey's newest column continues to dish out its most peculiar pedagogy. Sarah Johnson and her conspiracy-prone drinking companion lace together lessons on eels and King Henry, James Bond and Communist plots, Elijah Wood and the Messianic Age. These ruminations do more than educate - weaving together the titillating and the absurd, the historical and the sublime, they're like spiked kicks to the funny-bone.

Ash vs. the World, Part One: The Rocky Files
Ash, Tangmonkey's local misanthrope, stares into the depths of Hell and lives to tell the tale. Undergoing a self-inflicted torture so that you don't have to, the editor of Pulp and Tales from the Crypt watches all five Rocky films in less than a week. His story is grisly, twisted, and wry: this is a man who witnessed Rocky 1-5, and retained the ability to assemble sentences. Read with caution.

The Rocky Files [Part Two]

Hail to the Thief in 50 Words
The newest offering from Radiohead touches down with fanfare, feedback, and a grandfatherclock bassline. It's an album of fierce images and frantic tunes, but the response has been mixed.

To help find some signal amid the noise - to dissect HTTT to its veins and sinews - we've invited an exemplary group of fifteen writers, critics, musicians and magicians to share their thoughts. Now Wil Wheaton, Dan Beirne, members of Okkervil River and The Unicorns, among many others, have done so - and each in exactly (exactly) fifty words.

Let's talk about the Grateful Dead
It's difficult to think of a band of which we know so much and so little. Okay, so they were an acid-trippin' hippie jam band -- but what did they actually sound like? You might be surprised. We were.

Tangmonkey Music listened to the Grateful Dead canon, wrote reviews, and discussed the ups, downs, and swirly illegible cartoony LSD visions, in a Panel Discussion. Join us: you just might have an inner Deadhead clamouring to get out.

"War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn to live together in peace by killing each other's children." — Jimmy Carter

"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets." — Voltaire

"What war has always been is a puberty ceremony." — Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Tangmonkey Looks at 2002
Our writers wrote about 2002, and this is what they said. From music to film to books and The Lion King - we saw, uh, some of it.

My Life as Nat
It's a repeat, I know, but for those of you who missed it the first two times, My Life as Nat has just been added to Old Stuff. It's the story of one writer's impersonation of Natalie Imbruglia - the highs, the lows, and the dozens of letters he sent to gullible and starstruck fans. It was successful, it was mischievous, and it was almost certainly illegal.
