We can only hope. We can only hope.

An holy shit! Fishbone is playing those days as well. Still not going, but if I were it would sure as hell be one of the Sunday shows.

The prospect of being able to see Motorhead and Lana Del Rey in the same day is really really appealing. However, nothing else about the Coachella experience sounds like anything short excruciating.

I take it you don't have kids. When I'm in a good groove, I will burn through a couple of books in a week. When life intervenes (or if I'm just not digging a book the way I thought I would) it can take me a month to get through just one. I figure 20 is a reasonable resolution mark. It's unobtainably vast resolutions…

1. I plan to start actually purchasing some new music. There are tons of bands I like and recommend and follow, but have just been too strapped to buy albums. Gotta budget to buy some tunes every now and again.

Seriously. Video content is NOT a value add for a website unless you're dealing with a performance of some kind. This is just content! People giving their lists. I feel the same virulent hatred when "news" sites insist on putting up untranscribed videos of talking heads reading us stories. We're literate, for fuck's…

You can not tell me that there are people on this planet who use "bro" like that without irony. I fuckin' refuse to believe, bro.

And just like that Roald Dalek brings some positivity to the thread.

Oh for Fuck's sake! Really? Does Hollywood really need to do this? The Sandman is an astoundingly popular comic as cult comics go, but it seems to me it's still far enough outside of the mainstream that a traditional Hollywood take would be an incredibly shitty flop that would piss off fans and befuddle casual viewers.

It's almost like he was going for a James Franco kind of self aggrandizing meta-commentary thing, but somehow decided that "Thieving Bastard" was a better looping focal point than "Self-Absorbed Douchebag."

And that, my friend, is why Occam's Razor is bullshit.

Plot where Sarah Connor is behind Skynet's rise to power because she came to a harsh realization about causality and understands that Judgment Day needs to happen in order to prevent a complete rending of the space time continuum or GTFO.

I truly believe that the world needs a re-edit of the Second season of Twin Peaks that eliminates the "James Hurley rides off into a much much shittier show" sub-plot and that maybe halves the "Nadine is a freakishly strong nymphet" sub-plot. The show would probably receive retroactive Emmys and be renewed for a 3rd…

Wouldn't that be just divine?

Fair enough. Hell, I don't even know why I cared enough to argue the point.

I've been binge watching the last few seasons which I had missed due to not having Showtime for a few years. It's a supremely frustrating but watchable show. I'll be sad to see it go, even though it manages to annoy the shit out of me a few times a season. After all, if they can make me care about these insufferable…

There's a difference between enjoying Tom Robbins as a fun, brisk, and absurd read and mistaking it for cosmically profound literature.

There is virtually none of Hank Moody's actual "writing" featured in the show which is a good choice on their part since the character's "troubled genius" persona would be greatly diminished if the work doesn't live up to it. Even when it is briefly quoted, it ever even remotely resembled Tom Robbins.

Amateur is pretty damn stellar. Henry Fool (the first in the trilogy he hopes to finish with Ned Rifle) is probably his masterpiece to date.

You know it occurs to me that there really isn't any place to "Go rent" back catalog movies anymore. I'm not mourning Shlockbuster, as they'd been gutting their already anemic selection of older movies for years and were never a good source of indie or arthouse. Still, what kind of advice can I give this poor bastard?…
