Mortified is a comic excavation of adolescent writing, art & media. PS: It totally likes you.
This year Mortified celebrates Thanksgiving by dedicating an entire to show to sex!
Hailed a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and celebrated for years by the likes of This American Life, The Today Show, The Onion AV Club, & Entertainment Weekly, Mortified is a comic excavation of teen angst artifacts (journals, poems, letters, lyrics, home movies, schoolwork) as shared by their original authors -- in front of total strangers
Where else can you hear grown men and women confront their past with firsthand tales of their first kiss, first puff, worst prom, fights with mom, life at bible camp, worst hand job, best mall job, and reasons they deserved to marry Bon Jovi? Submissions come from a wide range of participants, from professional performers to total amateurs . All in the noble pursuit of self-degradation. Share the shame.

Ask the DJ/production duo Designer Drugs how many air miles they've logged over the past year and the answer requires more than a bit of calculating. "Over 300,000," says Michael Vincent Patrick referencing numerous cities all over the world. It's a testament both to the duo's popularity and work ethic. After nearly 50 remixes for everyone from Mariah Carey to The Bloody Beetroots, their debut album Hardcore/Softcore has just been released on none other than Ultra Records.
Where past productions have been on the pop-ier end of the musical spectrum, Hardcore conjures up a darker, edgier vibe -- think the throbbing, industrial-heavy opening club scene in The Doom Generation -- yet still retains a melodic center on many of the tracks. "I think we're making music for the apocalypse," says Michael, only half-joking. "The state of society is at a place where people just don't give a fuck and that's what inspires our music."
