The home cleaning aisle is a downright labyrinth! And all you really need is a clean bathroom so as not to repel prospective lovers. Skip the bullshit and take your chemical allowance to a professional janitorial supplier, like Gary! Five things and why they’re useful:
– Rubber Gloves: “Prevent germs from getting on your hands. If you have sensitive hands, the chemicals are not going to affect your skin.”
– Cling: “A restroom/shower cleaner. You whip it into a foam.”
– IM201: “An application tool; a cotton head with a plastic handle.”
– A Rag: “After ten minutes, you can rinse or wipe. You can use any rag, but we provide diapers and terry towels.”
– Pine Q: “A disinfectant cleaner, hospital grade. You can use it to mop floors, counter surfaces, walls, anything.”

From Thrasher Presents
Seeing as how this guy has influence over the social life of every rock and roll soul in town, one might inquire after his tastes. Here are the current top five from Mike, who brings us the big bands:
– Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro: “My very favorite gay Norwegian punk band. Also contains my very favorite lyric: ‘Motherfuckin’ pizza tonight.'”
– Source Tags and Codes by And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead: “An example of what happens when you take a little band and give them a lot of money to make a record.”
¥ Ultraglide In Black by The Dirtbombs: “A great take on old R&B songs.”
– Black City by The Division of Laura Lee: “This record came out last year and didn’t get a lot of acclaim, but it’s a really great rock n’ roll record.”
– Queens of the Stone Age, eponymous: “Not nearly as produced as the newer stuff, but still has some really great songs.”
