Thanksgiving thought - it's weird how the term 'white lie' implies a trivial, thought to be harmless, untruth, whereas White Lies are the most egregious ever perpetrated upon the population

We're hosting an emergency fundraiser to help fund a kidney procedure, this account is ran by someone in the US and is currently uninsured and we need support. Currently we're $14.7k away from meeting our goal and avoiding medical debt, any bit helps

Ever since seeing Deliver Me From Nowhere last week, I keep singing Born In The USA but with "demolition woman can I be your man" right before the chorus.

SPOILER ALERT: This isn't in the film. Def Lep don't even make an appearance

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff!

If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

Really sad to hear of Jimmy Cliff's passing. Ever since I got into underground music when I was 14, The Harder They Come soundtrack was appreciated by the most disparate groups of people. And this one has inspired me countless times over the years

One thing I love about The Ballad of Buttery Cake Ass is that people who have been in bands really get it. I feel bad for those others who say they don't, who have never experienced the glorious ridiculousness that is rock n roll
