Madonna, She's A Dick
Here's a re-cap of Chuck Klosterman's book party from the other night that I was commissioned to do for Gawker. In true Denton/Steele fashion, they refuse to pay me or even reimburse the taxi rides and late night San Loco meal I needed to get the job done properly. Maybe that's why I unconsciously took one too many books and ended up with an extra copy of Chuck's first book, Fargo Rock City. I don't want to profit from this drunken act of deceit, mainly because I'm sure the street value ain't what it used to be; rather, I'm offering it free to the reader who leaves the best comment on the general (interpret-as-you-like) topic of heavy metal. Please don't make my only choices result in a Sac and Gage flames-a-plenty codpiece shoot out.
UPDATE: Stacey H. has won the book contest with "I slept in an Iron Maiden t-shirt last night." (I'll give you a $100 iTunes gift certificate if you get Dave to wear the shirt at your wedding.)

i slept in an iron maiden t-shirt last night.
i find it very interesting that you go to such lengths to call klosterman and his friends dorks. i find it similarly interesting that, when you interviewed him, you said: "I am envious of your career -- author of hit novels, senior writer for Spin, pirate-chronicler for Esquire, etc. Can I have your life for a month?"
perhaps we all just want a little suck on the klost?
Dear Anonymous: I'm not entirely sure it was AK who interviewed The Klost. But if it was, I'm pretty sure that question originated from my brain. Our man in blogging wouldn't deign to read print.
whoa pal. one, that wasn't a very "metal" comment. two, we LOVE klosterman!! are you reading the gawker write-up literally? that's how we (or the times i've done it) spin these things. free publicity always comes with a little mock ribbing. shit dude, i was on the mic that night too.
metal up your ass!
(do i win the book?)
K, you take the mock ribbing to a new level. It's not long before you provoke someone into mistakenly calling you a "bootlicker/backstabber". (the backstabber part is the mistake, of course)
I can tell you wouldn't possibly hate Klosterman. You'd buy him lunch and ask three hours worth of questions.
(I, for one, enjoy his writing solely on the basis that someone finally stuck up for Billy Joel for a change.)
Heavy Metal - I use Van Halen (Diamond Dave's version) in the morning to prep for a job interview. No, I can't beat a girl wearing an Iron Maiden shirt to bed, but gimme the damn book anyway.
I fuck like a beast.

heavy metal is the blog of my ass.
All admirable efforts but the prize goes to Stacey with "i slept in an iron maiden t-shirt last night"
oh hell yes! can i get an MP3 of a Krucoff-chapter-reading? also, i'm going for the iTunes gift certificate, but, a question: am i allowed to wash the t-shirt before the wedding?
marriage ain't very metal. Take back the book, AK.
