For fans of Thin Lizzy/NWOBHM, definitely check out “True Bearings” by Freeways. If you like that, check out their 3-track EP “Cold Front”.

I think the story after this is all said and done is that all of us outside of China had a warning of what was to come and still did nothing until it was too late. If I came to you with absolute truth and told you that “I can see the future, and unless everyone goes home right now 20 people in this room will die...”…

He said it seemed “unfinished.” That’s all I’ve ever heard. Mark Knopfler produced the album, and he was beside himself that Dylan didn’t want to include it, but that was that.

I agree. I didn’t like reading it at first, but Margaret Wise Brown’s secret weapon in there is that the cadence is appealing to children while simultaneously having a sedative effect on them. If you have a wild-ass toddler who wants to read the same book over and over, “Good Night Moon” is extremely helpful at…

You tend to lose your taste for meat when you kill a bunch of magic raccoons and end up making an impromptu vest out of your own skin.

“Please do not climb on mouse.” are words to live by. 

Are you coming for the Mars Cheese Castle? Because I’m WI adjacent and I am Cheese Castle or die!

I haven’t, but I guarantee you that if I’m ever in that part of WI then I will rectify that immediately.
