Protect the Lifeforce

Posted on May 28, 2023 by Nathan

Here’s some music I’ve been listening to, and all of these albums were actually released on Bandcamp. I usually buy the CDs when they’re available, even though I mostly listen on the computer, and it’s easier to download thsn to … Continue reading →

Walk with the King

Posted on April 25, 2021 by Nathan

Beth had the idea to watch all of the Elvis movies in order, and we’ve so far seen the first three, with the next ready from Netflix. Some are harder to find than others. Love Me Tender – Elvis’ first … Continue reading →

When the Plumbing Gets Tough, the Tough Get Plumbing

Posted on February 6, 2020 by Nathan

Here are sore Super Mario Bros. Super Show reviews, and I have to say this set of episodes was largely lackluster even for this show, although there’s one pretty significant episode in the mix. Quest for Pizza – Mario and … Continue reading →

Away From Armageddon

Posted on June 30, 2019 by Nathan

I have a movie and a miniseries to review this time. They’re not very similar, but they do both relate to religion. Constantine’s Sword – This documentary film from 2007 was based on an earlier book by former priest James … Continue reading →

A Swarm of What-Will-Bes

Posted on February 9, 2019 by Nathan

Neil Innes and Fatso, Farewell Posterity Tour – Recorded during a reunion tour with his band from Rutland Weekend Television, this is an eclectic mix of material. It includes some comedy bits, like “Testing 1, 2” with its number puns, … Continue reading →

‘Tis the Season to Be Frank

Posted on December 20, 2015 by Nathan

Frank Black, Christmass – I talked a bit about this record when it first came out, but I thought it might be worth revisiting since I’ve been looking back at Frank’s work and it’s near Christmas. Not that the album … Continue reading →

I’m Ruler of This Moon, Boy

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Nathan

The second album credited to Frank Black and the Catholics, Pistolero from 1999, has never really been a favorite of mine. That said, it has some excellent songs. I tend to think of it as somewhat noisier and more chaotic … Continue reading →

The Devil’s Best Tunes

Posted on August 15, 2014 by Nathan

Not very long ago, my wife brought to my attention this IMDb thread about the music in The Lords of Salem. Usually these boards are pretty stupid, and it bugs me how half the replies to any given post are … Continue reading →

Ohana Means Family

Posted on December 27, 2013 by Nathan

Lilo & Stitch – Compared to the few Disney features released before it, I thought this one had better pacing and a better mix of silliness and sentiment. It has a weird premise, with a genetically engineered alien monster coming … Continue reading →

Orgy of Begrem

Posted on June 16, 2013 by Nathan

Necrophenia, by Robert Rankin – From the Goodreads reviews, this doesn’t appear to be one of Rankin’s more popular books. I liked it, but it is kind of all over the place, which is not unusual with his more recent … Continue reading →
