It's incredible when you think some of these celebrity myths were pre-internet. Word of mouth can cause a national phenomenon. Marilyn Manson came to town in 1996, and I bought a ticket, partly because I had heard stories like "he tears up a Bible on stage" (I also liked the 'Sweet Dreams...

Agreed though I thought it was Apple TV (I watch it on Plex). The 2nd episode is particularly funny.

God, I fucking HATED it. Gave it two episodes and felt nothing but disgust for every single thing and person in it.

Were you a fan of Succession?

Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Swans had a hand in turning me onto loud, drone-y music. The Great Annihilator was the first Swans I listened to and I was really impressed and wanted more (this was pre-The Seer, post-My Father Will...). But I honestly can't think of many singular bands who have led ...

Anyone got a Dave Mathews Band story? I’d like to hear that one! I had seen some clips of a performance that MTV filmed and enjoyed it, so I bought tickets to see them at an amphitheater back in 1999 (I was in college/uni at the time, fwiw). I thought they were boring. They extended most of their s...

It is, my bad. In fact, last night I pulled up Max wanting to watch it and when I couldn't find it, I had to Google who had it.

Young widows was fantastic but really strange that they drew so few people - fewer than 100 I'd bet. This town sucks so bad. A by-product of the only local college being a private xian university and no liberal arts schools. This is why bands skip here and go to Denton. Despite that, they sounded G...

He was part of many game shows I'd watch during the summer when I'd be out of school. Tic-Tac-Dough, High Rollers, Trivial Pursuit, etc. R.I.P.

Who's Johnny FTW.

I feel like Sparks should at least be in the running.

The Studio on Max is good. I assume it's been mentioned elsewhere, but it's like Robert Altman's The Player in its satirical take on the Hollywood system (Bryan Cranston's character is also named Griffin Mill, Tim Robbins' character name from the film). There are only 4 episodes so far, but it's wo...
