Stewart's raspy voice lent weight and pathos to songs he really never should have been able to pull off. When he was in the Jeff Beck group they recorded "Old Man River", which you would figure should be absolutely ridiculous, but somehow it was not terrible. Not my favorite song on the album, but a decent version.

The 70's Faces albums are absolutely everything I like about rock music. Sly, sleazy, fuzzy, witty, bluesy, and rollicking. It's hard to explain to people who just know him from his output of the last 30 or so years that Rod Stewart was once cool, and that Ron Wood was once someone other than that dude who stands

I guess Poland has a pretty long history of poster art, their art schools have been teaching it as a specialty for decades. I have a poster from a Polish King Lear performance that I found in an gallery in Montreal, and it's very moody and cool, with a haggard-faced head wearing a crown that resembles a forest, and

I think there was a greater diversity in songs on an album and changes in sound and style between albums in the Bon Scott era. The Brian Johnson era started at a peak, and the band seems to have done whatever they can to hold on to that success level and sound ever since. And the returns on that have gone up and

Well like Bono's charity the album was not about producing actual U2 music worth listening to, just about raising awareness of U2's ongoing shitty existence.

Well at the beginning of his career Hitchcock was sent to Germany to work at a studio during the German Expressionist period, and you can see the influence of that style in his work in terms of in camera effects, odd angles, surrealism, and interest in psychological extremes.

So some tv characters are not complete 3 dimensional characters? That's just par for the course with poorly written shows. And a lot of shows are poorly written, at least in part or when it comes to certain characters.

Ok, some Rush songs are 20 minute synthesizer epics with extended drum solos in them, and screechy vocals. I happen to like that era of the band, but I get why a lot of people wouldn't. They include lyrics about trees fighting and some dude named By-tor. That shit can be a tough sell.

$36,500 a year to be perfect? A lot of people pay a lot more for a lot less than that. Plus, I think you could make that back, it's sort of an investment.

Death Magnetic has terrible, terrible production, but the songs fit right in with the best of their 80's output in concert.

It's a hybrid of a large firecracker and an American machine gun.

I understand he did the proper thing, and contacted multiple contractors for quotes on killing the two men. You really want to get at least 3 quotes. The highest one is just trying to fleece you or potentially doesn't want to actually do the job. The cheapest is going to cut corners to charge less than everyone

It's 4 AM, what the fuck else do they have to do at that time of night?

Ok, so this girl's got some issues.

The original did tie into the Thanos/Adam Warlock story lines that led up to the Infinity gem cosmic cube stuff. So you could see him being brought in for that. And without the male alien Captain Marvel, how do you get the female human Captain Marvel? You can work around the original details, it's not a huge deal,

That is a pressure fryer, it's like a pressure cooker, but at much higher temperatures obviously. It's great for speeding up the cooking time on fried chicken and the like.

I think they're working under the "If we can make a tree and a Racoon the breakout stars of a summer, we can make anything work" theory. And they may be right. Just find the right take and a decent director, and you can sell Dr. Strange. Being a straight up good guy doesn't work, flawed, conflicted, or just flat

I really don't think the formula is "Any random movie + Cumberbatch! = Blockbuster". He's internet famous, not famous enough to open a blockbuster by himself. The Marvel part is the money making part.

The American south, especially on the gulf coast, have absurdly sized roaches. They call them Palmetto Bugs, just so they don't have to face the fact they have giant roaches all over the place.

The original Savage She-hulk was just published to get the rights to the character, in case the TV show wanted to try a female Hulk (then the TV side would get to have the rights to it). It was pretty crappy. Byrne's issues of Sensational She-hulk were a lot of fun, and so was Slott's on the two She-Hulk series from
