A Clown On Fire
A Sunday Musical Interlude
The National Started it All
A “barf in your mouth” moment brought to you by Le Clown. Remember the post about Sara and Le Clown’s first date? Shame on you. The date lasted 24 hours, and as the sun was about to set, it was time to drive my future wife-to-be back to her 230 square foot flat. Back then, Le … Continue reading
Le Clown Wants to Bore You
Fuck. I’m sitting at my desk and I want to write a post about John Lurie. I want to tell you how much I laughed watching his show Fishing with John. There’s a nagging inner voice shouting “they won’t care, Le Clown… It’s too niche… It’s also Easter… Move on… Go have fun with the … Continue reading
White Jesus Can Sing – The Second Coming, Or, The Massive Exodus of my Readers
“And he commanded the clouds from above and the doors of Heaven were open. Le Clown set one foot in, and the Lord’s trolls devoured him alive, make-up and red plastic nose.” Le Clown Bible - Psalm 78:23.

You had Me at Chop Chop
2008. It’s started with the bottom feeders, online, via Plenty of Fish. I stumbled upon (stalked) her profile on a stormy August evening (more like a clear, mundane August evening). I, The Clown, a thirtysomething soon to be divorced handsome man, father of a 4-yr old boy, shipwrecked in Suburbialand, with a kick-ass PoF profile, … Continue reading
A Sunday Facebook Blog Post for Stats
Sundays suck on WordPress. I don’t care what anyone says, i.e. God taking a lazy ass day off as he “worked sooo hard” to create the world – Sunday is a day to catch up on things, i.e. sitting at your desk and reading A Clown on Fire, for example. Right? This week, it’s been … Continue reading
James Blake – A Case of You
While watching The Awakening this week, my wife told me it was ok to have a crush on Rebecca Hall. I don’t know where she got that idea, really… I mean, I know I have exquisite taste in wom[e]an, and I might did breath heavy one time or two during the movie when Rebecca Hall … Continue reading
Press Play, Rewind and Repeat.
When you are 107 years old like me, you use words like: 4-track cassette, tube television, rotary dial telephone, adult diaper, U2, Bengay® and rewind. You also start suffering from deafness and memory loss. When you’re 106, everything is hunky dory… One morning, you wake up, you’re older, you look at your wife sleeping, and … Continue reading
Bon Iver are talented hipsteri
They are! I mean, how else could Justin Vernon and co. win a Grammy Award for Best New Artist when they’ve been around for years already… On this lazy, lazy, L-A-Z-Y Sunday (repeating lazy 3 times took everything out of me), here’s a live performance by Justin Vernon and Sean Carey [take the time to … Continue reading
