Welcome to another episode of the Savage Love podcast—your one-stop for all the gritty, skanky sex column advice you could ever want. Today Dan answers this burning question: Does butt-fucking count toward losing your virginity?

Want in? Call 206-201-2720 and leave your question in our voicemail box. If you don’t mind Dan following up with you, leave your phone number as well.

This week in Easier Than Reading, hear Ezra ramble and play tunes from Cursive (pictured above), Explosions in the Sky, Elliott Smith and Andrew Bird.

Here it is: the Mercury’s new podcast, Talking Pictures, in which Mercury writers discuss that most superb and vivacious art form… the current cinema. This week, film editor Erik Henriksen and arts editor Chas Bowie talk about Killer of Sheep, Charles Burnett’s legendary 1977 drama that, until now, has remained largely unseen. Peep the trailer for Killer of Sheep below, then check out Talking Pictures. If Gene Siskel wasn’t dead, he’d give it a big thumbs up!

If So Hot Right Now was ever in danger of pigeonholing itself into one genre of music, Los Angeles’ Captain Ahab took that danger, and shoved it up our asses. This week Mike Williams hollered at Captain Ahab, and Captain Ahab hollered back with an exclusive, neck-breaking, panty-dropping DJ mix. You can catch Captain Ahab performing live this Friday the 4th at Holocene, along with Copy, DJ BJ, Brokenwindow, and P. Disco. You can’t say we didn’t warn you, so don’t come cryin’ to us if you don’t go to the show. See you there!
