There's something really stupid about the name "Sherlock Holmes" being shot at the screen like bullets at the end of this trailer.



Take THAT, you snarky British detective series! You've been HOLLYWOODED To THE MAXXXX!!

Jay Bennett

Befuddled and begrudging and talented ex-Wilco member Jay Bennett was found dead today. Apparently he died in his sleep.


My only knowledge of him as a human being - and probably most of the general Wilco-fan public - is from I Am Trying to Break Your Heart where he comes across mostly as generally irksome and self-righteous. It's really sad that every news article about his death will have to include the fact that he was in the process of suing Wilco for millions in royalties when he died.

R.I.P.
Let's hope Summerteeth is your legacy instead of your lawsuits.

The Decemberists have become Jefferson Airplane! Who knew?



I'll still not forget the time they came to play a concert at Middlebury, had bad colds, ordered salads with no dressing from our campus restaurant, asked me for lemon herbal tea, and then hated our sound system. My band at the time opened for them - it was our first gig. They still put on a great show...

Dear World,

Every so often you produce stories so absurd, so completely mind-numbingly stupid-awesome, that I can only lean back in my chair, breathe in, and cry a little.

Thank you for this.

The Lion Whisperer

Woah, you guys

Did you see this face transplant thing?  Incredible.  Blows your mind.

But the craziest part of the whole story - aside from the face-transplant part - is that this woman's husband shot her in the face, turned the gun around and shot himself in the chest, and then both of them lived.  This is crazy!  How did this happen?  He must be the worst shotgun shot in the history of crazy people. 

And then, to top it off, the guy only goes to prison for seven years!  Guy shoots his wife in the face then tries to kill himself and goes to prison for a paltry 7 years.  

WTF, i say. 

double-U. tee. eff.
