Re: A Tribe Called Quest - Final Album 11/11/16
Didn't know them when...I wasn't listening to hip hop, but my wife turned me onto them more recently. Listened to the new album in its entirety yesterday and was really impressed. Good stuff is an understatement.

Re: Westworld
I enjoyed the first episode. Given how much exposition has to happen to orient the average view, I thought they did a good job. And the very last moment was perfectly executed. You know it can only get better from here. I never saw the original movie. I worked in a video store when I was 15, and it ...

Beware of some muricans too, especially with alcohol and firearms. I'd have a drink too, but that wouldn't end well.
Enjoy.

The Night Of (HBO)
Did I miss a thread for this? Wife and I loved this show. It was devastating. What's interesting about it is that novelist Richard Price was the writer for the show, and while I always struggled with his novels I think he does a lot to make this feel authentic. Authentic NYC--and there is a quality ...

Re: publishing a book
Very impressive you're seeking authors who fall outside the so-called mainstream and looking to give them a means to get their work out there. Are you sticking to a certain (non-fiction) genre such as social subjects or is it anything goes? Thanks, Panda. Not sticking to a particular genre. There w...

publishing a book
So, about two years ago I left a large publishing house to return to teaching, and developed an interest in starting my own press. Originally, I thought I'd publish my novel, or the work of friends like Ferlinghetti did with City Lights. In any case, a manuscript came my way, and it gave me a focus....

Good God's Urge 20 years old yesterday
Good God's Urge came out when I was living in Santa Cruz. It took a while to grow on me, but I think it has aged pretty well. Decent write up here: http://diffuser.fm/porno-for-pyros-good-gods-urge-anniversary/ And the cover is reminiscent of when Perry involved himself in assemblage. While not near...

Re: Is this finally the second coming of the Stone Roses?
Overall, I like it. It doesn't strike me as some big, groundbreaking classic but it's got a good, catchy guitar hook. Yep, same here. I like the guitars, but find the lyrics kinda lame. Am enjoying it. Am a fan of some of Ian's solo work, and try not to think too hard while listening. If I do, it m...

I need a .com for a small press. I'm leaning toward WordPress to create the site, but am unsure how to find a web host or differentiate their services. It's likely I'll just have the one site for now, and I want to pay as little as I can, at least initially, as I don't anticipate much traffic, but s...

Eh, it was kinda sorta OK. The Rick and Daryl parts were good. Deanna was last seen screaming at an oncoming hoarde of walkers after shooting several of them.
