Buffalo: For Realz?! Local Fashion Sense

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Clothes make the man...

When fancy pants magazines like GQ and websites we’ve never heard of cite Buffalo as extremely lacking in fashion sense, they don’t realize the contributions to fashion made right here in the city and surrounding area of WNY. But William Van Landingham of “Keep Buffalo Lame” does, as he presents another installment of “Buffalo: For Realz?!”. Give him a listen for three minutes, or get the Tommunist Retort podcast on the iTunes or add this feed (http://thomasdolina.com/blog/feed/podcast/) to your podcast app!

Three Minute History of Dyngus Day for Anderson Cooper

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

Polished them off!

Time for another edition of “Buffalo: For Realz?!” by William Van Landingham, chairman of “Keep Buffalo Lame”. This one is a three minute history of Dyngus Day, so that Anderson Cooper can learn that the occasion is a serious part of Polish heritage for Buffalonians.

Also, here’s Anderson Cooper when he wore a bunny rabbit suit. Which is more ridiculous at Easter time?!

Giggle fest...

Tommunist Retort: Historic History of the Historic Trico Building

Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

Boxy Lady...

In keeping with the Tommunisms theme for 2012 of “All Potshots…No Solutions”, the Tommunist Retort podcast returns with a special guest recording by William Van Landingham (the First), the founder of “Keep Buffalo Lame”. The historic Trico plant building in Buffalo may face demolition by the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, probably just for the LULZ. Much like the Kony 2012 video, we cannot vouch for the accuracy or motivation behind this recording, but we hope that it will spur further dialogue and discovery by those in the Buffalo area, who may not be aware of the historical significance of the building. So give the old coot four minutes to listen, and then make your own uniformed snap judgement!
