(I’m thinking) Why-e-y-e-y-e-yeah? SUPERMAN’S DEAD!
Our Lady Peace was one of the more underrated bands of the ’90s.
Have You Read “The Dream Detective?”
Hard to believe it’s been almost 10 years since I put Sax Rohmer’s Moris Klaw stories online. The Occult Detective subgenre was already getting crowded when Rohmer put his spin on it 100 years ago (but then, blogging was already getting crowded out by social media when I finished this project in 2016).
I’ve given the stories a tidy-up, fixing errors, adding proper tags, and ensuring the posts federate properly. If you never gave them a spin, now’s a great time.
Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982–2011
R.E.M.’s 2011 swan song anthology, with three amazing new tracks. Weird to realize that R.E.M. was also a competent country and punk band.
Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Wave” and Sub Dub Micromachine’s “Settle for Force” albums
Sneaker Pimps’ “Squaring the Circle”
It’s a good album. It’s a good reunion. But I’m not sure it’s a good Sneaker Pimps reunion album.
SimEarth
Got this absolute classic running in SheepShaver. Nostalgia overload.
MajorVoice – This Lonely Ark
An absolute triumph of an album.
The Loremen Podcast
A Mighty-Boosh-esque comedy podcast on local legends and obscure curiosities from days of yore.
Admiral Bulletin & the Internet Elucidation
In a blog dating to 1999, not everything makes it over from one engine to another. Back in 2005, I wrote a four-part piece of literary criticism fiction on the history of the Admiral Bulletin franchise. It’s actually kind of good.
In celebration of resurrecting the Admiral Bulletin storytelling game, I’ve added it back to the WordPress blog with tags and correct dates. You can find the four parts (and notes) here:
- Admiral Bulletin and the Internet Elucidation, Part I: The Origins of the Admiral
- Admiral Bulletin and the Internet Elucidation, Part II: The Golden Age
- Admiral Bulletin and the Internet Elucidation, Part III: Admiral Bulletin and the Daily Strip
- Admiral Bulletin and the Internet Elucidation, Part IV: The Turbulent Years After & Colophon
- Notes on Admiral Bulletin and the Internet Elucidation
