I remember Makerbot having to pull off the side of the road we were laughing so hard at this.
Holy Shit!
A new Long Ryders record! A new Long Ryders record!
And for reference, an old Long Ryders cover of a NRBQ song that should’ve been a hit for both bands.
LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS
Yes, please!
New and completely bonkers sci-fi series from Tim Miller (Deadpool) and David Fincher (Fight Club, Zodiac, Mindhunter). On Netflix March 15, you magnificent bastards. 18 animated stories, allegedly in a kind of Heavy Metal format.
Welcome To The Basement
Anybody ever heard of it? These guys are goofy fun (and bad teeth) personified. This episode features one of my all-time favorite cult classics: Phantom of the Paradise. Make that my all-time favorite cult classic. I have to watch it at least once a year, much to my wife’s disgust. And don’t even get me started on the soundtrack. Pure GOLD.
“Welcome To The Basement” is a show about watching, discussing and having fun with movies. Matt choses the movie and Craig doesn’t know what it is until the cameras start rolling, so none of the discussion or riffing is planned ahead of time.
A cinematic odyssey through the rock universe?
It’s Time To Cook… Again
There’s a 2 hour Breaking Bad movie in the works. It’s allegedly a sequel to the series that made my happy parts feel warm and fuzzy for 5 seasons. And it’s gonna be on Netflix.
My initial thought is that this will be a good thing, but I’m not really sure where else the story can go. I tried Better Call Saul, but I just couldn’t get into it. Vince Gilligan is running the show on this movie, so maybe I should just put my faith in him and let things happen.
Where do you think they would go with this story? Maybe Jesse goes back to school and becomes a high school chemistry teacher…
They Still Make Data-Bank Watches!
I almost want to be single again, just so I can ask a woman for her phone number and watch her expression as I enter it into my data-bank/calculator watch.
How Many Do You Recognize?

Brutalism Is Back
In architecture, that is. Many think it’s hideous, but I’m a fan. According to Jessica Stewart at My Modern Met …
Known for its use of functional reinforced concrete and steel, modular elements, and utilitarian feel, Brutalist architecture was primarily used for institutional buildings. Imposing and geometric, Brutalist buildings have a graphic quality that is part of what makes them so appealing today. The word Brutalist doesn’t come from the architecture’s fortress-like stature, but from the raw concrete its often made from—béton brut.

Half The Fun Of Growing A Beard Is Getting Rid Of It
Me, this weekend.
Every Day Is Clash Day
Day late, dollar short. Happy belated International Clash Day!
This is anti-racist, and anti-fear. This is pro-solidarity, pro-unity, and pro-inclusion. This is a public service announcement with GUITARS.
This is International Clash Day 2019, and all day long, all across the globe, we’re celebrating music as a tool for social consciousness, a band that made it sound so damn good, and an iconic record that still changes lives 40 years later.
Check out the other great posters on the dang ol’ site.
