Queens of the Stone Age
Queue Up (A Cleveland band from the '90s that were sort of goth, sort of industrial and all great. Ali was the fucking best. I dated their merch girl, briefly. She was also great)

No Roxy Music?

He will. Everyone does.

Mother Night is my favorite book. And I've been thinking the exact same thing in reference to this topic all day.
There is literally no comment you could have made that would have pleased me more or been more exactly what I was thinking.

"Is Herzog really even that interesting of a filmmaker?"
