Happy Glenn Danzig's Book Collection Day.

Halloween is - after Thanksgiving and Yom Kippur - my favorite holiday and the best part of this yearly day of ghouls is dusting off my all time favorite youtube clip - otherwise known as the legendary "Glenn Danzig's Book Collection."

Dear Lou Reed.

Goodbye Lou. It was an honor to work with your catalog for the two years I was at Spirit Music Group. Thank you for all you gave the world. Without you and the Velvets there'd be no punk and in turn a completely different me. So I owe you a lot. Thank you for Sunday Morning. Thank you for Berlin. Thank you for Street Hassle. Thank you for allowing me to begin to see the light. Thank you for making the dark side pop.

White light white heat forever. Rest in peace, man.

It's Wednesday.

I mean, 37 seconds in. Wowza.

And, the Queen.

Happy Birthday Lux Interior!

We miss you down here.

Listen to Either/Or today. Hug a friend.

Kick Out The Jams Sunday!

Oh Shit.

Just in time for Halloween. I'm getting majorly creeped out by the latest video from ERAS:

I love Spencer Moody.

I loved Murder City Devils and I still rank Dead Low Tide as one the best live bands I ever saw (the Ill Eagle released 7" is unstoppable! Lazer Lazer Lazer Love!) So I was beyond geeked out to stumble on Spencer Moody's rad bandcamp page - which features not only killer new songs but also his crazy rad one off tees and bags!!! I heard Spencer moved to LA. Welcome, sir. Welcome.

Also it should be noted that Murder City Devils are back and playing shows again!!!! Goddamn! What an age to be alive!

Time-warp Thursday!

So, I think this photo explains everything. Everything.
