Howl, Fantods, Howl.

Here's a wonderful literary event called And But So. (It's called that in homage to, as you know even if you've only skimmed a story in which David Foster Wallace allows his supra-narrator characters to get a word in edgewise, a tic of human speech that the acclaimed and beloved – but now, as of about a year ago, suicided – author captured so well and frequently.)

Saturday Night's Alright

This Saturday shapes up to be one of the best days of music in Geezerville since South by Southwest, Saturday, 2001. That was the day I caught full sets from 15 bands, ended up doing tequila shots at the bar of the Continental Club with two women from Australia, and lived to tell about it.

Rock Out With Your Dogs Out

In his previous films, Bradley Beesley has turned a camera on subjects who are chafing at society’s strictures – catfish noodlers neigh-saying the rod-and-reel norm; those gonzo Flaming Lippers, kissing off radio rock – but in his latest, Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo, his subjects are quite literally bucking – and behind bars.

Fantastic Fest to Kick off Nationwide Sneaks of ‘Paranormal Activity’

OK, so we like to front like we’re tough, but fact is, we’re an awful wimp when it comes to scary movies. Case in point: Our colleague Marc Savlov – good man – had to pre-screen a stack of Fantastic Fest films for us and let us know which ones were, um, not liable to give us an awful case of the oogly-booglies.
