2018 Top Albums List Addendum!

I typically make a list of my my favorite nine albums at the end of every year, but I loved so much 2018 music, I went out of my mind at the end of that year, and made a top 14 list. So far this year, I’ve only heard three albums I really like, and

Starflyer 59 — Everybody Makes Mistakes

7/10 Starflyer 59’s fifth full-length release, Everybody Makes Mistakes, comes right out of the gate with the big, anthemic “Play the C Chord.” The song sounds huge, riding a big, percussive and deep electric guitar line by frontman, Jason Martin, and a big beat by drummer, Wayne Everett. “Play the C Chord” also has a

Filmshake Ikiru Spolier Show

The latest Filmshake episode explores the finer, spoilery points of Akira Kurosawa’s classic, Ikiru. What was that old guy doing, and why was he doing that? Surely this episode will explore those facets. Also, there’s a Full Monty reference for some reason. Only on Filmshake, and unlike your dad’s podcast, in only 20 minutes.

Starflyer 59 — The Fashion Focus

7/10 Just in case you weren’t sure from the non-monochromatic album cover, The Fashion Focus‘ first five seconds of drum roll and keyboard let you know that the stylistically staid Starflyer 59 of yore has completely passed away.Gone are the walls of guitar noise, and in their place, a lighter, poppier sound, far more keyboard

THERE IS NO GOD AND YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE: A Hurricane Barry Staycation Travelogue, Featuring Periodic Alerts from the Weather Channel

This week, my wife went to a work conference in Nashville, Tennessee, leaving my son and I alone in God’s soggy boot. That boot thing was only a metaphor, as I don’t think God wears shoes, and I mean to say, we live in Louisiana. You might know us from routinely getting destroyed by hurricanes,

Claws: Season One (Review)

Claws 2017 TNT Season One Score: 8/10 I don’t know how I ended up watching Claws. I remember being curious about what Niecy Nash had been up to since Reno 911, and seeing on Wikipedia that Claws was her current gig. I remember thinking about how good Jenn Lyon was in the insane short comedy
