That's The Stuff

Summertime is here, so why not crank Gaz Coombes (Supergrass) new album? Fun Times, People!

Back in the New York Groove

Spent a couple of fun days in NYC with my mom and step-dad. One place on earth I will never get tired of. I'll be heading back for a week in July for a history grant I'm part of. We're also heading to the Olympic Peninsula and Victoria, BC this summer. What's everyone's summer vacay plans? And do any of them include central North Carolina?

Happy Holiday Weekend

The band is Odland, which maybe explains why the girl just sings gibberish instead of actual words, but I'm thinking someone put in a night or two making this video.

Humans Can Fly

Any you bastards breaking out your wingsuits this weekend?

First skydiver to land safely without a chute.

One Drop

The four song EP is now available For The PiL fans.

Jay It's the Only Way I Could Get that Drain Song Out of My Head

I Used To Have This Record

Mutt

Cory Branan has a new one out called Mutt on Bloodshot Records. That's almost a major label debut, no? Stream on Spinner here, get a free MP3 of first single Bad Man here, and that might be the second best album cover ever.

Crazy Pills

Archie Powell and the Exports - as featured on the AV Club today. Mmmm...Power Pop... Also, I'm going to see Heartless Bastards tonight. Thought you might like to know.

Sign it bastards

A petition asking Marvel Entertainment and Disney to make things right with Jack Kirby's family. If you do, I'll have a special treat for you.

Another Good Reason To Work From Home

For those bastards who can, of course.  It might get a little crowded at Eric's, Matt's and Dave's houses ...

Evil!

Going to Jack White at the Ryman tonight. Please believe me even if I don't return with photos of us together. Also enjoy his collaboration with Tom Jones: Howlin' Wolf's Evil.

It's 5:15 - Happy Who Day!

Please to enjoy vintage performance. Go to about 4:55 to see Pete Townshend invent, uh, Riverdance.

Dave, your Whopinions have been noted.

Prometheus First Clip

I'm getting just the slightest bit excited about this film.  June 8th, bastards.

Those Blade Runner prequel/sequel rumors seem to be firming up, too.  Just read a blurb in the new issue (Prometheus cover) of Entertainment Weekly.

Shit

Donald "Duck" Dunn


Soul Dressing

With You 100% Dave

Shit

I know we generally reserve that post title for deaths, but the so-called 'Marriage Amendment' passing in North Carolina is like death. Not only does it give Constitutional backing to bigotry, it also extends to all domestic partnerships, gay or straight. I love the south and my twenty years here have been the best of my life but the bible-thumpers have seriously gotten under my skin this time around. How dare a bunch of people who believe in fairy tales get to make the rules for all of us.

Shit

It'll Get You Drunk!

Hand sanitizer. I'm sure this surprises no one.

Anyone else seen it yet?

Finally, they made one that made me feel the same way I did when I read the comic books 30+ years ago. Great script, great humor, great visuals. See it in 3D if you can as it makes it feel even more like a comic book. Kudos Whedon!
