Head Wig

Jeff created UsedWigs a few years back in an effort to stop people from being productive while sitting at their desks. He encourages unbridled time wasting. This doyen of distractions enjoys giving his expert opinion on movies and the people who make them even though he has never taken a film class or actually sees half of the films he reviews. Described by no one as the greatest living pop culture polymath, Jeff writes a bunch news stories, reviews films, write some glowing music reviews, interviews interesting people and keeps the site looking snazzy. Most importantly, he continues his unending battle against the insidious, multinational business machine from the safe confines of his soy-based desk.

Shrake got his start writing for a nationally known publication that begins with the letter N. His work stood out, and he was offered a top-secret position crafting the president’s “impromptu” chats with the press. In his spare time he enjoys Home Ec. Also, he enjoys Petting Zoos, in particular the “funny” chickens. His favorite word is “good” and “bad”.

Russ is a frustrated rock star whose Long Island accent betrays him during heated debates about frighteningly obscure albums and where the best pizza and bagels can be found. He’s got lots to say about music (and has actually studied it), though his biggest claim to fame is trying out for the Men’s U.S. Olympic Bobsled team in a mall parking lot.

Kevin’s first TV appearance was on the Bozo show in 1972 and he claims he still gets recognized from it. Kevin used to be a pathological liar but stopped the day he became a super-hero. He has a Funk and Wagnalls-like knowledge of dive bars and vintage stores throughout the U.S., and he is writing a book about them which you can read if anyone is willing to publish it, (thus far, no one is interested). Until then, email him if you want to know about dive bars or vintage stores through out the U.S.

In 1974, God made a beautiful glowing ball of creativity, sprinkled it with art dust, wrapped it in skin, installed an abrasive voice box and called it Todd Marrone. I say this, not as a megalomaniac who writes in the first person, but as a friend.”
