Sarcasm aside, did you like it? I always think of WH as one of my favorite novels and Heathcliff one of my favorite characters.

Jalapeno Pale Ale is the jam. And the actual brewery is great place to hangout.

But it was interesting watching his machinations play out, always wondering which step would be the wrong one, and there was comedy in his hubris — how could someone so smart be so stupid? I mean, the…

Wise Blood, definitely.

Preach.

That is one of my favorite Deerhunter songs.

From my Halloween mix, as I'm currently listening to it at work…

I've heard several friends of mine say this recently; has Pumking really fallen off? The one I had last year seemed fine, but my peeps said it was awful. Granted, nothing hits the high of having it for the first time, but maybe I'm not versed enough to appreciate the nuances from year to year. I've yet to try it this…
