Natalie Slater, ME, and Mike Edison keeping it dirty!
As some of you may know, I am a big fan of author Mike Edison. I am only 3/4 through his 2nd book, but the man writes about some subjects that are pretty awesome: SEX, PORN, WRESTLING, BUSH, and ROCK n’ ROLL. The man has quite some stories to tell, having written pornographic stories, publisher of HIGH TIMES, editor-in-chief of SCREW magazine, written for HUSTLER and PENTHOUSE LETTERS, as well as playing in a post-punk band, hardcore punk band, and his own band Edison Rocket Train. After reading I HAVE FUN EVERYWHERE I GO, I was hooked. The man has a way with words and is an inspiration to anyone who wants to live life to the fullest and is open to new views, experiences, and really digs the English language and the seedier side of it. My love of boobs, buns, and bush fell right in line with Edison’s writing and I can’t wait to finish his latest book, Dirty! Dirty! Dirty!: Of Playboys, Pigs, and Penthouse Paupers, An American Tale of Sex and Wonder.
Look for a review of it, probably sometime after the holidays when my bile buildup for Christmas has finally subsided and dissipated. For now, enjoy a quick but superbly edited SHU-IZMZ and BAKEandDESTROY promo that my buddy Josh Stephenson edited at IAN’S PIZZA in Wrigleyville, Chicago, IL! Natalie is a good friend of mine and is the one that turned me on to Mike Edison. I am forever grateful to her for this! The video will be up at YOUTUBE.COM soon, so be sure to search for it at the SHU-IZMZ Channel. For now, enjoy it here. More footage of Mike doing his highly entertaining spoken word, with excerpts from his DIRTY! DIRTY! DIRTY! and plenty of raunchy rhetoric!
One of my fan-fashioned pics Bowie used for the interview pics!
If anyone has been reading SHU-IZMZ for awhile, or even a short time, they may have caught on that I am obsessed with film, and horror films, in particular. I love watching them and writing about them. Hell, I can have a lengthy discussion talking about movies all fucking day if the occasion arose. Well, apparently someone out there also shares a passion for movies and horror films and recognized mine and decided to interview me (Shu) about horror films, the beloved city he lives in, and his hangouts and day job. It was a really cool interview and I had a chance to answer some questions that are not normally asked of me. I got a chance to get personal with Bowie Ibarra and his readers atZombieBloodFights.com. I am writing up this post because if one is not friends with me, Bryan Schuessler, on Facebook than one may not have seen this link posted. I am going to repost the link on twitter (@shuizmz) as well as some other social networking sites. Bowie is an avid reader of SHU-IZMZ and I can’t thank him enough for interviewing me. Bowie is not only a huge fan of horror films, but also an author. He lives down in Texas and is fortunate to be able to frequent the Alamo Drafthouse Theater in Austin, TX. This theater is probably the only desire I would have to visit Texas for. So head over toZombieBloodFight.com or just click this LINKto read my interview.
