But for a little perspective, even on Day 1 Elisha Cuthbert was kidnapped about nine times.  Once by a puma.

I didn't try to claim that this was a real protein, only that if it existed it would be of value, and totally worth the time of a fictional researcher.

What happened to that show with Kelsey Grammar as the mayor? Was it any good?

Yeah, Harmon seems like the bigger asshole here.

I like the period and geographic descriptions quite a bit.  The more inward-focused artistic awakening stuff is less interesting to me.

Friday night I watched the last four episodes of Game of Thrones season 1.  I really wish I could follow the new season, but I doubt I will be able.  Saturday morning I watched Justified with my Dad, the only current show we both agree on.  Lots of Parks and Recreation season 3.  Still very funny, but kind of goofy in…

I'm halfway through Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel, and made some additions to my future reading shelf.  My brother gave his copy of A Game of Thrones, which I may try to tackle once the show fades a bit in my mind.  I took a stack of my parents' unread Chicken Soup for The Soul books to the used bookstore, and…

The 1998 Iggy Pop remaster of Raw Power wins the loudness war.

Play Martha White!

One of the greats. Saw him at Merlefest about 10 years ago.

1)  Great headline.
2)  I was on board for the tree people.
3)  The actual premise is possibly the least interesting thing i have ever heard.

Thanks y'all.

I, for one, want to know what Ray Jackendoff has to say on the subject.

I wouldn't say I am "very excited" by this, but I've really liked most of Corgan's post-nineties work.  He is able to jump around different genres while retaining a distinctive sound.

Looking forward to the rest of the features.  The Alternative Nation pieces were what introduced me to this site.

The only Meshuggah album I own is Catch 33, which is good, but daunting as an introduction.  What albums are better to start with?

Les Cousins Dangeroux?
