If you think Funny Games isn't catering to a certain type of audience, you are deluding yourself.

When I was a kid, I would go hang out with a friend and every time I went to his house his mom would be chain smoking and watching Staying Alive.

I think the term dysrationalia is an apt term for B.o.B (and his number one defender, Motun Phillips).
Dysrationalia: the inability to think or behave rationally despite adequate intelligence.

Oh my god, he's kissing her like she has a penis.

I had something of a crush on Max.
I miss this show.

After laughing at his flat earth nonsense most of the day yesterday, I now want to send B.o.B a copy of Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum.

A couple years back, author/philosopher Scott Bakker posted a draft of his anti-CanLit novel, Light, Time and Gravity on his blog Three Pound Brain. It's quite good. I would suggest checking it out. https://rsbakker.wordpress….

American Gods is a personal favorite, so I say keep going.

The Bone Clocks because David Mitchell is awesome.

I'm reading Catherynne Valente's awesome decopunk sci-fi novel Radiance (Hollywood on the moon!) and I recently started Mervyn Peake's classic Titus Groan (and hope to read all of Gormenghast this year).

Gotham - Malort

I saw the video for Heart's Filthy Lesson and I really liked the song (and the video) so I decided to buy the album.

It's one of my favorite Bowie songs.

Outside was my first David Bowie album. I love the characters and the noir elements. The tracks "The Voyeur of Utter Destruction (As Beauty)", "Strangers When We Meet" and "I'm Derragned" are some of my favorite Bowie songs.

Thanks.

Jesus Christ Superstar is a personal favorite (and the only Andrew Lloyd Weber musical that I like from beginning to end). I'm a fan of the original recording featuring Ian Gillan as Jesus and Murray Head as Judas.

I'm a fan of both, but when I start thinking about Jesus Christ Superstar, it's Ian Gillan's voice that immediately comes to mind.

There are a couple of tracks from the cast album of the Tori Amos/Samuel Adamson musical, The Light Princess, that I found myself listening to over and over. Those songs are:
1)Better Than Good - Althea (performed by Rosalie Craig), the titular Light Princess, spends a night with her man and discovers the joy of sex.
2)…

A hard boiled recommendation: R. Scott Bakker's Disciple of the Dog. It is about Disciple (Dis) Manning, an extremely cynical PI who has hyperthymesia; he doesn't forget anything, ever. Dis is hired to find a young woman who went missing from a cult. It's a pretty quick read and it's pretty damn funny.

Have you read Steve Martin's The Pleasure of My Company? It's quite good.
