Oh man, I am so happy to see this record getting some attention. I've long felt that Elliott is one of the great unnoticed bands. Coming from Louisville, I can attest there are a lot of amazing bands from there, but it seems like people have even forgotten about Elliott in Louisville. But False Cathedrals is probably…

I went to the quarry shown on the cover of Slint's Spiderland. It's in the tiny town of Utica, Indiana, across the river from Louisville. Beyond it's connection to Slint, it's one of the most beautiful natural locations I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the quarry is hidden back beyond the gate of a super-rich gated…

The four performances here were nice enough, but they were pretty much all quiet, breathy singer-songwriter kinda things. Even Balmorhea was pretty much that way. I hope that in the future, we'll see diversity from each state. For Texas, what about Daniel Johnston? Or Butthole Surfers? If we can't find much musical…

Can some crazy TMNT fan please start threatening Michael Bay in bizarre, hilarious, and thematically fitting ways? Please. I'm thinking turtle impaled on sai or katana and stuck to his front door. Something like that. Please. 
Surely someone can think of a way to stop this.

I'm thinking this could be totally awesome. 
Like, in my mind, it could potentially be an even louder version of Springsteen's Seeger Sessions. 
Then again, it might not be, but I'm staying optimistic.

Wow. I didn't think I could hate Michael Bay any more. 
This news has completely ruined my day.

The church my parents go to has been doing a Christian Halloween for 20+ years, but they've been calling it Neewollah, because they're totally turning Halloween on its head. Get it?
As dumb as that is, it's much better than Jesus Ween.

The restaurant analogy doesn't work because the restaurant is personally responsible for it's food. Even if it's prepackaged stuff from McDonalds or something, they're still cooking it there. The theatre is just projecting an already created film onto a screen so you can watch it. As noted in the article, the theatre…

Rocko was always my favorite Nicktoon, but I've revisited several Nicktoons in past couple years, and Aaahh!! Real Monsters actually holds up much better than Rocko does. Not that Rocko's not still great or anything.
Also, nobody's mentioning Ren & Stimpy. Also a fanastic Nicktoon.

I actually went to Quarry Bluffs this past weekend, aka Slint's Spiderland album cover. An amazingly beautiful place. It's a shame that there's a gated community/subdivision-type place built up around it. Not saying it's enough to warrant it's own installment of this, but still pretty cool, if you're ever in the…

Are you saying Casket Lottery have reunited and are recording some more, or are you talking about SBB there? Because I've heard CL have had a few reunion shows here and there, but I haven't anything about any new records since 2003 or so.

Hey Ya
Am I the only one who cannot stand this song?
I definitely agree that it was omnipresent back in 03. I, too, was in college at the time, and you could not escape that fucking song. I absolutely hated it then, and I still don't like it now. It's just so repetitive and awful. And oh-so desperate for your…

SBB is BACK
It's so good to hear new material from these guys. I've only listened to this a couple times so far, but I'm really enjoying it.
If all the slots aren't already taken, they should really be invited to do a song for Undercover. That would be awesome. I've never heard any covers done by Small Brown Bike…

Yeah, I'd have to admit this isn't that bad. I'm not a bad fan of obnoxious concert-goers (who is?) but this isn't all THAT bad.
Want a horrible live show experience? Go see Guided By Voices. I hate to say that, because I love GBV as much as the next guy, but take these guys, add about 25 years, three more beers each,…

I think By The Grace of God aren't officially "back together," they're just doing a reunion show for the return of Krazy Fest. I think there are a few examples of stuff like that for Krazy Fest this year.
Also, I saw SBB back at one of the original Krazy Fests, and they were incredible. Sounds like they're still…

Sirens of Titan is good and all, but it wouldn't be in my Vonnegut top 5. I don't know if it would even be in my top 10. Though Vonnegut is often described as a sci-fi writer, I think he's at his best when he's not so overtly sci-fi.
Personally, I've always been partial to Bluebeard and Jailbird. And to a lesser…

Self aware?
That quote seems to indicate a lot more self-awareness than I ever would have expected from George Lucas or anyone who works for him.

I would be totally opposed to an Ant-Man movie, because really, who cares about Ant-Man, especially since he's mostly a lame Marvel version of The Atom, but with Edgar Wright directing and Nathan Fillion starring, I'm down.

They ARE making a Green Lantern movie. People have been kinda discussing it endlessly. Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan. But yeah, a Green Lantern movie focusing on John Stewart (the black Green Lantern) would be really cool too. Although, as much as I like Donald Glover, he probably wouldn't make a good John Stewart.
