There is a YouTube channel where there are a bunch of Lovecraft stories narrated overtop rudimentary animation, mostly stills, but it's a very effective way of experiencing those stories. The images for "Rats in the Walls" is genuinely creepy.

I think it's pretty hilarious that guy's wife is even able to bust him. Can't shell out $1.69 for your own personal bottle of corn/porn oil, huh, guy?

Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Romano's newest, Modern Pressure, is on nonstop rotation in the ride right now. It's a perfect combination of early-'70s Dylan and the old British rock band 10cc: densely-packed lyrics, slightly-weird instrumentation and a voice that seems like it's going to grate on you, but the…

I just read a few Lovecraft stories last night: "Rats in the Walls," "The Beast in the Cave" and "Call of Cthulu." I'm hooked.

Finally got around to reading Stephen King's It. I was barely in elementary school when it came out, and I remember being frightened by the cover alone (my mom is a HUGE SK fan, so we had the original cover with the green monster hand coming out of the sewer).

No one is — nor shall they ever be — the one and only Wesley Willis. #RockOverLondon #RockOnChicago #MentosTheFreshmaker

"It’s okay to not care about Lil Yachty"

I'm not sure how this could be sustained over more than one season, but I'm interested.

Oh sh*t that's right! Let me second that Bridge bitterness. It was a little unfocused, but I never thought that worked against it. I was starting to get really into it when its run was ended.

I didn't realize that this was an off-Broadway show, but reading that, it completely makes sense. There were a couple moments where things seemed to be getting waaaaay too serious for a stand-up comedy special, and not in that "build the tension leading up to the punchline" way. I thought it was very well done and…

Props on the Coup shout-out.

Honestly, I'd rather just have the headliner start late than have to sit through like a half-dozen openers. When I went to see Red & Meth on the "Blackout" tour, I'm pretty sure that every single MC Such-and-Such on the entire East Coast opened for them.

Better put Lauryn last on the bill, if the past is any indication. This would probably be better billed as NAS AND HANNIBAL BURRESS… PLUS A VERY SPECIAL SURPRISE, which could either be Lauryn Hill performing, or Lauryn Hill NOT performing. THE SURPRISE IS DIFFERENT EVERY NIGHT!

Louis CK did exactly that. He called Trump a "dirty, lying sack of sh*t" on The Late Show. The difference is that he didn't make what could be construed as a passive death threat toward the U.S. President. I'm no Trump supporter, but if you're gonna talk some sh*t, you gotta be prepared to take some sh*t. Death…

"Because who wouldn’t like Franka Potente?

The most respected news channel out there??? I'm gonna go ahead and quote the Junior Hannity Fake News Fan Club up there: just wow.

Is it really so inconceivable that a non-dirty-hippie could be into good musicianship and nonsense lyrics?

Such a good book.

Even for improvisational masters like Coltrane, the 15-minute mark is probably the cap on how long you can bend, stretch and reshape a song before it gets either very repetitive or falls apart. I once watched a YouTube video where a music professor gave a "master class" breaking down "Dark Star," but graduate-level…

I think part of the issue with Dead-haters is that the utter wealth of recorded material greatly increases the chance that you're going to end up listening to a concert that is, at its core, a good band with a bandleader who is way too whacked-out on hard drugs. Basically, any tape from about 1981 onward is a…
