It's been a long time since I've given it a listen, so it's probably due for a reevaluation.

I have a hard time getting into The Cramps' albums. I really like most of the Off the Bone compilation (listened to it this week in fact), but I've never been able to dig much deeper than the "hits".

This week on the alphabetical-by-artist journey through my iPod library, where I listen to one album from each artist, generally but not always picking an album I don't listen to as often (started on Q):

I think Gloria's doofus co-worker (the one who always called her "Chief" and got scared by Yuri in the police station) was the role Gaffigan was supposed to play, but he had to drop out due to his wife's medical emergency.

Heck yeah, Wussy. Attica! and Strawberry are phenomenal (like everything that came before them). Hoping the new record they are working on will be a rebound from the good-but-slightly underwhelming Forever Sounds.

Four Trees is actually the only album of Caspian's that I've heard. Recommendations for others?

For solo work, start with Southeastern and then Something More Than Free. Ditto what was said above about his excellent DBT output (and he also has songs on their album of collected b-sides). For another of his great DBT songs, check out "Decoration Day".

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound

The "Trains Go" board book is the current favorite for my six-month-old, probably because reading it involves lots of sound-effects and knee-bouncing. Also "But I'm Not Sleepy", when read in the voice of Droopy, that old cartoon dog.

Finished:
The Origins of Totalitarianism - Hannah Arendt [audiobook]
Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS - Joby Warrick [audiobook]
Annihilation - Jeff Vandermeer

I read through this entire thread of comments, and I'm not sure you understand the underlying arguments against net neutrality.

The album seems like it is typically one of their most underrated, which is a shame.

Akuma no Uta. So good.

There was an ad for TJ Miller's new standup special eerily staring right at me as I read your comment… nicely done with the ad/comment synergy.

Soundgarden's "Birth Ritual" from the soundtrack is also amazing.

Seeing Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds this weekend, so lots of Skeleton Tree and Push the Sky Away.

Epic is fantastic. Check it out.

I noticed the IMDB episode credits too, and here's my take on that: the main actors are credited with being in every episode (and then having any episode they are not in that has aired being subtracted from that total), while all the actors playing minor characters are only having episodes they appear in counted as…
