TWICE A DAY?! To an old woman with dementia? That's just ridiculous. Bravo to your sisters. My condolences to you and your family.

I grew up with the original Let it Be but the naked version works for me as well. It's just looking at a semi-great album in a new way.

RIP only to his survivors and the woman he murdered. Phil is the epitome of ugly bastard who made great art. Here's a tidbit from his Wiki page: Spector's sons Gary and Donté both stated that their...

My deepest sympathies to you and your family, Duncan

Having never been to England, I can't say that I've ever had a pint of this brew but damn, I want one now.

RIP TIM BOGERT
When Gov’t Mule formed in 1994, as a side project to the Allman Brothers Band, we could have chosen a direction based on any of our many influences,...

I, for one, am eager for elf nudity. But please, no swinging orc dicks.

RIP and condolences to all who loved him. I never met him (then again, I've never met anyone from PE in the flesh) but enjoyed conversations here. Taken away far too soon.

Yeah, it's imprecise to compare Knives Out to the other two. Murder by Death has a few laugh out loud moments (Miss Marble smelling gas) but a lot of it hasn't aged well at all. Neil Simon's powers...

Last night on TCM we watched the double feature of Murder by Death and Clue. Despite both taking a hack at a genre that is ripe for a great parody, they fail. I didn't expect something as brilliant...

I watched the first two seasons of Oz. My wife said it was a soap opera for men. I can kinda see that now.

Flipping through the CD racks I came across this disc. Playing it right now in the office. Some righteous fury and slow burn riffing here.

Best wishes for a continuing recovery, Jed. And hopefully your son and his friends didn't spread it.

I forgot about that one - yes, truly an evil mofo. That "have you a valediction" scene was great. Then again, the movie was packed with great scenes.

Just like my insistence that there is not a third Godfather film, a fourth Indiana Jones film, and only two Alien movies, Buffy ended after season five. It's my world and I like the weather in it.

They spend such a significant amount of money of these ads and I can't see how any of them get any traction. Wouldn't your best bet for low premiums and seeing claims actually getting paid be finding...

I saw them open on that tour for BOC in a little hockey arena in Minot, North Dakota. It was a thermonuclear event.

At this point I am so sick of auto insurance, home warranty, and auto warranty ads that I would willingly go back to the days of nonstop erectile dysfunction ads.

He has a doctorate in psychology but he's not a licensed psychologist.

I never did get the DVD/CD off the last tour. I didn't think I could handle the vocals on the older tunes. But now I'm in a sentimental mood and reconsidering it. But while doing that, I took the set...

No paywall for me either. But yeah, a great and beautiful article.

Still waiting for prices to come down on other OOP boxes

Any updates on the Ancient One?

I called the local clinic and got us on the vaccine list yesterday. There are tiers to go through but given the amount of slack-jawed dumb fucks who likely believe it's a hoax or contains microchips,...

Screw it, I'm just gonna order the Bandcamp copy. I can always burn the lossless files for the living room stereo.

Way too young. There were a lot of bad sword/sorcery movies in the 80s but Beastmaster was actually decent (albeit cheesy). Tanya was decent in it as well. And indecent in an accompanying promo in...

I watched Wonder Woman 1984 and wow, the Suck Fairy visited that production. Plot holes galore and one of the villains was so ludicrous I couldn't stand most of his scenes. And hell, that was an...

I liked the SNL skit from the 80s where the missing ending to It's a Wonderful Life was found and it was basically everyone in town tracking down Potter and taking turns beating the living shit out...

I had to clean up after both my mom and my mother-in-law, both had twisted notions as what to keep. It took forever. I'm starting off the year with a round of Swedish Death Cleaning - a practice of...

My wife's parents and aunts/uncles had varying degrees of heavy Germanic accents. I always heard things like, "Yah, I hear she got the die-uh-BEE-tus". The next generation down would amuse...

Nothing says repugnant than a malicious corporation. Good call.

I like Brick Top (Alan Ford) in the film Snatch. Now there was a nasty piece of work without a single redeeming quality. But...

My guess is they have deeper pockets and can weather the losses. We have seen a number of large chain stores (and especially restaurants) die in the US, but overall they haven't suffered like the...

I hear ya. I would add to the list of decent broadcast shows, The Orville. It had a rough start but settled down into one of the better takes on a Trek-type show once they got the humor/drama balance...

Weedpecker III

For Christmas my beloved gave me a headphone amp and some basic Sennheizer headphones. It's amazing the amount of tones that come out of such a little thing. Considering that my one Fender amp is a...

We watched the last half of The Family Stone last night on HBO (we've seen it a few times). It's a gorgeous cast and the director clearly likes closeups of their faces. But at the end of the movie,...

Christmas in Connecticut, Bad Santa, It Happened on 5th Ave, Christmas Carol (Sim, Murray, or Scott preferred), The Ref, White Christmas, Die Hard, The Homecoming, and National Lampoon's Christmas...

Secondary world with late 1700s weapons and strategy. There's two writers working this (that I know of): McClellan and Django Wexler. McClellan's world has far more magic but Wexler still has a...

A truly mammoth release! Top five for me without a doubt.

The Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan (musketpunk fantasy)

RIP to legend. Climbing and Nantucket Sleighride are essential hard/blues rock albums.

My deepest sympathies on your loss, Renate.

I've been hearing lots of positive things on the new album and will likely get it in the new year.

Reminds me of my dad falling apart, which was over 20 years ago. It still stings. Remember Renate, you have a community here and though we are distant, we're still here for our rare bird.

This video is a pretty cool answer to a question I always wondered about

My issue with streaming is that unless you are a subscriber to a hi-res service like Tidal or Qobuz you are getting less than CD quality. That might be fine for coming from an Echo or Google single...

:rofl

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday said that the coronavirus vaccine rollout “feels false” and “too slick.” He apparently advised his viewers not to trust it. Nothing like thinning your own...

Season two was not as enthusiastically reviewed as season one.

Boceephus, positive waves for your daughter and her child

I just pre-ordered the new Sonus Umbra CD and got the new Allman Brothers live 2CD. So I guess I do buy CDs.

Another problem with the Undoing finale that my wife pointed out: Nicole was not wearing a fabulous coat :lol

It all depends on the AG. Biden said the Justice Department is going to go back to being independent. The SDNY and State of NY AG are already to take action on January 21st. The House will be running...

Seeing parents decline into poor health is a ridiculous amount of stress, even in non-pandemic times. I wish you strength and calm to get through this, Renate.

Yeah, there's an incredible amount of programming that didn't make it across the Atlantic.

I think JIF was pretty high on the Asperger's scale - he had really poor social skills

:O

And it's behavior like that Mitch McConnell is trying to cover for with his blockade of the relief package. The Turtle won't budge unless corporations are protected from liability lawsuits due to how...

RIP the spymaster, John Le Carre. I reread a few of his titles now and then. His brilliance was astounding.
