Portland, Ore.-based Miles Kurosky is what old-time journalists used to call a “great quote.” He’s one of the few interview subjects you’ll find in the music biz these days who’s totally unafraid to step on a few toes to get his point across. And he’s got the musical chops to back up his shoot-from-the-hip posture. Kurosky’s previous band, Beulah, was a true California original, good enough to catch the ear of pop genius Robert Schneider of Apples In Stereo, who released the first Beulah album under the banner of the Elephant 6 collective. As is the case with other creative one-man shows (Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle, for example) the transition from band to solo career is as simple as painting a new name on the office’s glass door. The Desert Of Shallow Effects (Majordomo) is every bit as exhilarating as anything Kurosky has ever cut. Kurosky will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with him and more about Beulah.
Miles Kurosky: I wanna fight Glenn Beck. Just five minutes in a cage or a ring, anywhere really, I don’t care. Gloves, no gloves, headgear, no headgear, I don’t care. It can be televised on pay per view, or it can be broadcast for free. Again, I really don’t care. Maybe we can raise money. My cut could go to charity, while his could go to help out all the downtrodden rich folk in the country. I’m serious, I really want to make this happen. I sincerely believe that he and people of his ilk are unable to feel other people’s pain until they feel pain themselves. I want to personally help him feel other people’s pain. So, if you work for Fox News or know G.B. personally, put in a good word for me. I will also accept Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity if Beck is too busy building his time machine to take us all back to Sept. 12, 2001. I know, I’m supposed to be a good Buddhist and treat everyone with kindness. Well, maybe I’m just a shitty Buddhist just like those guys are shitty Christians. However, I have meditated long and hard on the matter, and I’m pretty certain that I’m covered, morally speaking. In fact, I think it can be considered a patriotic act.

I’d be happy with just delivering a swift kick in the nutsack!
Even Jesus, otherwise nonviolent and shit, would beat this joker down. First he’d use Beck’s flabby, pasty face for a speed bag, then he’d finish up by stomping a mud hole in his ass with his well-worn sandals. That would be a Pay-Per-View event I’d like to see. Beck would try to fight back, but then of course he’d be too busy crying to the cameras about his lost America to defend himself physically.
Seriously, though, Beck should be removed from television just for looking like a pedophile, which you just know he is anyway. People who actually look to this charlatan for guidance have to be the stupidist motherfuckers alive.
“stupidest,” also. Pardon my French.
On the up-side, Mr. Alligator Tears has lost over 150 sponsers in the last few months. Hopefully he’ll be unemployed soon and Rush Blob-brain next!
Great post, The Dude (both of them). The sad commentary is that this pantload actually has “followers”, as does Hannity and O’Reilly. I’m Canadian (insert appropriate backbacon joke here), and while we have our fair share of right wingers, these pukes are at a different echelon of extremism. I’m all for different points of view, and I have true belief that both parties bring something to the table, but rhetoric spewing cheerleaders like these twats need to be addressed. They represent their own political party; the party of one – where the country’s success is defined by their own investment portfolio.
Many people fall through the cracks (many of them musicians!!), and turning a blind eye is a crime based on the excess we enjoy. Ummm….. he’s also a ridiculously stupid and myopic prick that deserves the aforementioned stagefight. Miles: chew a mountain of steroids and turn him into catfood.
