Mike Brown’s Monthly Dirt: Jazz Nation Predictions
By

If you know me at all, you know it’s safe to say I’m somewhat of a narcissist and only truly care about three things in life: my cat Jet Pack, free drinks and the Utah Jazz. … read more

Mike Brown’s Monthly Dirt: Yer Out of Here! Kicked Out of the Band

Mike Brown’s Monthly Dirt: Yer Out of Here! Kicked Out...
By

The whole time I’ve been part of the Fucktards, we have never had to kick anyone out. Sure, dudes have quit, but I’ve never had to drop the axe. I suppose getting kicked out of the Fucktards would be like flunking special ed: very improbable and more embarrassing than being in my band in the first place.  … read more

Mike Brown’s Monthly Dirt: Jet Pack Meets Patty The Psychic

Mike Brown’s Monthly Dirt: Jet Pack Meets Patty The Psychic
By

Jet Pack’s birthday is this month, so I thought it would be cool to get him a pet psychic reading to see what he would like for his birthday, and pick his brain about some other things, like why he’s been barfing so much lately and where he poops. … read more

Mike Brown: Miss Utah!!!

Mike Brown: Miss Utah!!!
By

A few weeks ago, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the current Miss Utah. The last time I interacted with a pageant queen was when I was asked to show a former Miss Utah how to skateboard on the live morning local newscast. Needless to say, she ended up eating street on live TV

Mike Brown: My Favorite Presidents

Mike Brown: My Favorite Presidents
By

This month, I’ve chosen to write about those great men that lead our great country and how they are all great and stuff. These fine men adorn our currency and fuck with it when they are in office. They sometimes act like assholes and are easy targets for everyone to hate, but probably have one of the easiest jobs in the world because other assholes are making the real decisions and doing their job for them.

Mike Brown: New Year’s Resolutions
By

If I set New Year’s resolutions for myself, I’m just going to fail miserably and hurt my own feelings—and I’m a pretty sensitive guy when I’m sober. So, the only thing I’m changing in 2015 is my underwear. That being said, I came up with some New Year’s resolutions that I would like to see from other people.

Mike Brown: Craft Cocktailing

Mike Brown: Craft Cocktailing
By

Just like guys sagging their skinny jeans, there’s a trend I’m noticing in this city that I’m not a big fan of. For all I know, it’s a trend everywhere, but since I’ve been too broke to go on vacation for a year and a half, I don’t know. It’s a trend in the local booze world, with which I am way too familiar. It’s the craft cocktail.
