THANK YOU. I stopped reading at that line. Get your shit together, Katie.

Can't wait for this. So bummed I missed her and The New Pornographers in April. But it's been a great year for new music so far. And I'm seeing Screaming Females in October so that helps.

LOVE Harrow County! It's beautiful and frightening.

My Favorite Thing Is Monsters was one of the best reading experiences of my life. I've read it twice and can't wait for the next volume.

Great song with a hell of a chorus.

I had this debate with myself last weekend after watching John Wick 2. I loved it, and hated myself for loving it. It was 2 hours of people getting shot in various, stylized ways. The fetishizing of the guns is over the top. I couldn't decide if I was a hypocrite, if I was just flawed, or if I'm normal and I can…

If WATCHMEN is the worst movie you've ever seen in a theater you haven't seen many movies and you're an idiot, even though the girl who listed it is pretty hot looking.

No Jesus & Mary Chain review this week. No Depeche Mode last week. What about us aging 80s kids? We're gonna die soon! The J&MC is quite good.

the new Jesus & Mary Chain is damn good.

I think Count Erpoint sounds like the overreactive type. Not someone I'd like to know.

Nick Lowe's Holiday album from a few years ago, Quality Street, is, well….quality. It doesn't smother you in sleigh bells and shit.

The only time I've seen Johnny Marr was when Modest Mouse opened for REM in Chicago in 2008. I've been a Smiths sycophant since my teens (I'm 45). He was great with MM, but during REM's encore he came out played Fall On Me with them. Johnny Marr and Peter Buck on one stage. It was a brilliant 3 minutes and one of my…

Frank Drebin. That is all.

I'm 45 and I have 3 kids (youngest is 13). I re-read Pet Semetary last Summer and it gave me nightmares. The Wendigo passages are some of the best stuff he's ever written.

Looking forward to the Teenage Fanclub record. Been a huge fan since 1990. Seeing them play at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago in October.

So many answers. Movies like Do The Right Thing (do I have to elaborate), Boogie Nights (it's humanistic take on damaged, deluded and sometimes loathesome people resonates more every year), Schindler's List (Hear me out: first movie my wife and I saw together in 1994. Not great first date material but it proved we…

ELO's Livin' Thing at the end of Boogie Nights. *chills*

The Witch. Carry on…

I love Ghostbusters but this remake doesn't bother me in the least. Halloween is my favorite film of all-time and the Rob Zombie clusterfuck doesn't bother me either. I just don't watch it. HOWEVER….this Big Trouble In Little China remake with The Rock? That rubs me the wrong way. That's something to get upset about,…
