It's Halloween!  I'm going out as someone who makes fun of people who dress up as Amy Winehouse.  What are you going out as?Rhetorical.  I don't care.  The important thing is that, for one night only, unhip shit like s

R.I.P., Porter Wagoner.Others are going to know way more than me about his best writing and singing, about his role in spreading country music via the TV (21 years!), how he fought to give Dolly Parton a career, how he fought to keep her shackled lon

At the start of the set some audience member up front - I can't see who, I'm at Cake Shop, I can't see shit - takes his full beer bottle and whips it around wildly, dousing those next to him, spritzing those further out.  A good deal

So hey, thanks, Radiohead.  The record's nifty enough (tracks 1-4 and 9 would make a killer EP), and I'll buy it proper when it sees actual release.  Quality aside, thanks for legitimizing the leak and - most importantly - for letti

Have been superoutrageously ill for the past week or so; think 103-degree temperatures, buckets sloshing with greyish excretions, sacks full of phantasmagorical, mind-expanding (and/or cough-suppressing) prescription medicines.  I haven't go
