Sup! I always knew the most popular thing I would write for the Bloglin would involve Nic Cage. The list of my favorite Cage performances got some great feedback and after watching Vampire’s Kiss yesterday, I would definitely add that to the list. Possibly in the number 2 slot. When he jumps on the desk and shouts “There you are!,” I lost it. Here’s the rest of the juicy nuggets from the week:

• Big fucking news ya’ll. On February 20, МИШКА LA will open its doors at 1547 Echo Park Blvd. Wish I could be there for the opening! The next obvious step is МИШКА Boston. Right?

• This week’s winner of Freaky Stylee is Tampa Bay’s Ryan Berger. This actually isn’t the first time Berger has appeared on the Bloglin, back in October ’09 Berger showed off his wicked Psycho Simon/My Pet Monster tattoo. We love you, Berger!  Get those photos in for next week’s Freaky Stylee! Check out the rules here.

• NY Fashion Week began on a very sad note with the suicide of talented designer Alexander McQueen. RIP.

• Crook dug up an interview him and Twerps! did for France’s Clark Magazine back in 2007. Time flies! One thing that hasn’t changed in three years is Twerps! love for pop punk.

• Former Gorgoroth frontman Gaahl was named “Homosexual of the Year” at the Gay Galla in Bergen, Norway. His lover is a 19 year old named Robin. Awesome.

• More big news: ICP will be headlining this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival. No they won’t. But it’s important to have a dream.

• Sporting Observations breaks down the baffling Winter Olympics opening ceremony.

• Fear of a 12th Planet looks at Remote Viewing and psi-intelligence.

• Top rated reviews of the week: Black Noise from Panthu Du Prince, One Life Stand from Hot Chip, and Judged By 12 Carried By 6 from Blessure Grave.
