Really great interview with Allan Arkush, the director of Rock 'n' Roll High School. I'm posting here & not Movies, because it's mostly about Joey Ramone. [link]
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Following up on Katherine Whalen, here's a new video from her. [link] (full disclosure: the drummer is my friend's bf)
She's got a Kickstarter project up to help get her record out, if you're interested. [link] It closes May 24th.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's Pete Townshend's birthday so I wrote about him for Hilobrow.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
It would've been Joey Ramone's 60th birthday today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
A good day for musicians.
But not as good as September 23rd!

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
What's on everyone's rapture playlist?
So far I've got (just based on what happens to be on my iPhone at the moment):
Sin City -- Flying Burrito Brothers
Apocalyptic Modified Blues -- Corb Lund
Ain't That Good News -- Nerissa and Katryna Nields
Santa Monica -- Everclear
Hell -- SNZ (for Katherine Whalen!)
That's all I've got. I have a 5:00 deadline. Though really, should I bother?

What's on everyone's rapture playlist?
I haven't made one yet, but the two songs I absolutely KNOW will be on there are"
Doomsday Serenade - Jill Tracy (which I think she's offering for download until Saturday on her bandcamp page).
AstroZombies - the MCR cover. That ABSOLUTELY has to be on any rapture playlist I make.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Is 'It's the End of the World as we Know it' too cliche?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm not sure if anything is cliché when it is the apocalypse.
I plan on saying "yippee kay yay motherfucker" if I see the fireball coming.
