Just noticed that Herk Harvey’s 1962 cult classic Carnival of Souls is available in its entirety on hulu. Consider this my contribution to any horror-themed October shenanigans. Because I don’t really get into horror-themed October shenanigans that much, although I am going to try to spend some time month catching up on some classic horror I’ve managed to miss.

Where were the kids TV shows that booked indie bands (like Jenny Lewis, above) when I was a kid? I might have discovered the good stuff when I was, like, seven instead of seventeen! I don’t know anything about this Pancake Mountain show other than that they have good bands on, but that’s enough. They [...]
Here’s for the inaugural Music Monday post! (And yes, it is still Monday.) Yet another thing for me to start and then fail to keep up. But let’s not start fatalistic, shall we?
EDIT - the “Wires and Waves” file has been fixed - thanks Mark! I thought I checked them all, [...]
