A band that everyone agrees sucked shit play one gig in Manchester - everyone who attends goes on to form their own band, shaping UK music for decades. Their artist is the nephew of the founder of the druidic order. You're telling me that this is all "a coincidence"? and that "this is a Wendy's"?

Incredible book. Essential for fans of the show.

Guys, THE DEADWOOD BIBLE in hardcover - and signed! - is part of this sale. It's expensive, but the 34% discount is not going to be beat. If you like the show as much as I do, you will love this book as much as I did. Buy it!

every friend group needs a funny guy, a competent guy, and a scumbag who can figure out a fast & likely illegal way to solve one of the other friends’ intractable problem. you can have additional friends in the group but that’s your load bearing core

I give this article my full endorsement, and the ranking my only slightly conditional endorsement.

The Best Billy Joel Songs, Rankedt.co The Piano Man turned 75 this month, so we’re taking stock of his discography.

What is the quintessential Onion headline? The strong contender that just randomly popped in my mind is "Hank Williams Jr. Honored by Institute For Football Preparedness"

Ric Flair adding his trademark WOOOO to this restaurant review is sending me.

Great little tribute to a personal favorite. This came out near the end of my senior year of high school and seemed like an insane but plausible vision of what my 20s could be if my friends kept doing so much damn ecstasy. Easily the best of the Pulp Fiction riffs from the time.

Lotta great American movies in 1999, but I wanted to write about one that I don’t think is as widely appreciated as it should be: Go, the second feature from Doug Liman. www.rogerebert.com/mzs/speed-ki...

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana or Pearl jam or Soundgarden or Alice In Chains

Someone has to rep the retro normie POV. First time I listened to this album I felt like I’d just gone through a break-up.

anytime i’m facing an especially hated or arduous task, i like to give myself a little treat beforehand to encourage myself to get it done. it’s called a ‘pre-ward’ and it absolutely does not work

Any mention of the Dewey Decimal System brings to mind this guy

I thought seeing my book on the boostore shelf would be the highlight. Now I know it's seeing my book AT THE LIBRARY--with a waitlist! I almost busted out crying. I practically lived in the library as a kid. All those lovely books. And now, my book joins them! I'm in the DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM!

Farewell DeSantis. I thought his concession speech was beautiful:

Time to tell anyone who might care about my favorite music from 2023! Top 10 is alphabetical because I didn’t feel like I was quite locked in enough to distinguish them, and then there are a bunch more albums I enjoyed-to-loved, also alphabetical.
