Len is a top one on this list for me. Their album was pretty good, and mostly, very different from their one hit.
I’m sure this is true for many people of different ages but a thing I really liked about growing up in the 1990s was that a band with one weird radio hit would have a whole discography of good stuff that only you wanted to hear. The Butthole Surfers, Ween, Fiona Apple—they all had exactly one hit

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man
who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man
who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
Yo it's about that time
To bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme
I'mma get mine so get yours
I wanna see sweat comin' out your pores

Okay, Trek nerds, post a picture from your first #StarTrek movie.
This is the first one I recall. Definitely a rented VHS, maybe even watched on a rented VCR.

“Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter he earned high seven figures for the role, plus a seven-figure producing fee.”
I should do a blog post on this, but I’ll do a brief thread here, as it’s something in the comics industry that riles me up.

“No One Asked for This Reboot”: ‘Tron’ May Mark End of Jared Leto’s Franchise-Leading Days
As 'Ares' disappoints, insiders question whether the self-styled boundary-pushing A-lister can still be counted on to carry a franchise vehicle to the bank.

I had to move 60+ short boxes of comics out of my basement over the weekend due to a busted pipe (comics are ok!), and I’m starting to think it might be time to thin the collection.

I had a dream last night that I went into a store to find some Eisner-winning comics, but I instead found a statue of Worf and Gowron fighting at at a piano dressed as Mozart and Salieri.

Boundless is going under, it’ll cease trading by end of day. Archna has emailed Neem Tree Press authors about this but not Unbound ones :/
Authors, a couple staff members are working hard to get reversions, subcontracts, and files to us—if you need them email NOW before the lights go off

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no
