They say Hell is full of good intentions, one of which is my intention of writing a weekly post aggregating the B-grade stuff I post to Facebook . There are simply too many better things to do. Anyway, here?s some stuff I shared lately: Liam Neeson in the A-Team movie! I guess that?s what they call ? Fuck-You money ? . ¶ Isn?t Roxy Music?s More than This the most depressing song ever? I find...

I’ve been hearing about Sesame Street everywhere this week, what with this marking their 40th anniversary and all. Finding this, however, had nothing to do with any of the nostalgia. I was doing some random wikipediaing and realized I’d never looked up any Gene Krupa or Buddy Rich stuff on youtube. Ten minutes later I [...]

I posted the Animal/ (from the Muppets) Buddy Rich "drum battle" the other day; this one's a little more serious. Krupa's a lot of fun to listen to, and he "sells" his solos with a lot of body English (which Buddy never did), but nobody can match Buddy Rich.
