So much great music gets by me these days, but not anymore with my new subscription to SPIN! Please to enjoy the haunted stylings of Lera Lynn.
This Guy Is A Magician
I shared this with Renfield a couple of weeks ago, but I’m posting it for you bastards too, as I’ve become addicted to this dry-witted Canadian’s YouTube channel. In this video, he somehow restores a double cutaway ’59 Les Paul Junior from a block of Swiss cheese. He describes everything he’s doing in great detail, so I recommend jumping ahead when things get slow.
Do You Know The Picardy Third?
Yes, you do!
Restoring A Porsche 914
I think I’ve mentioned before that my dad drove one of these briefly. I would push both of my grandmothers down the stairs for one now.
Anyway, enjoy or don’t.
Guillermo Got His Teeth Fixed!
And I’m super-excited to see his take on Frankenstein, apparently something he’s wanted to do for years. Even if it sucks, it’ll be gorgeous. Available on Netflix November 7, you monstrous bastards!
Oh, and if you haven’t checked out his Cabinet of Curiosities from a few years ago (also on Netflix), you definitely should.
Looking For Something New To Watch?
From the ever-reliable Wikipedia …
Pluribus (stylized as PLUR1BUS) is an upcoming science fiction drama television series created by Vince Gilligan for Apple TV+. The series stars Rhea Seehorn in the lead role. She previously worked with Gilligan on the AMC series Better Call Saul.
Apple has ordered two seasons of the series for Apple TV+, with the series expected to premiere two episodes on November 7, 2025, for a nine-episode first season.
Set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the series follows an author who seems to be the only person immune to a new virus that turns its sufferers perpetually content and optimistic.
I’m in!
Seriously, Can I Use It?
Another Mr. Show classic.
Alien: Earth Episodes 1&2 Easter Eggs
My latest obsession is the new Alien: Earth series on Hulu. Just the right balance of callbacks to previous Alien movies and fresh creative ideas. It’s pretty … pretty … pretty … pretty good. Some of the stuff this New Rockstars guy notices might be a stretch, but he catches a ton of details I missed.
Anyway, enjoy or don’t. But don’t text me six months from now saying, “Oh my god, have you watched Alien: Earth? It’s amazing!” (You know who you are.)
I Shoud’ve Listened To My Old Man
Very cool cover, and she’s adorable.
Jonee Jumped In His Datsun
I had the pleasure of finally seeing DEVO in Austin 14 years ago, but I really wish I could’ve seen them during this period, when it was still mostly guitars and Alan Myers (The Human Metronome) on drums. Anyway, please to enjoy this official HD video.
