Completed The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, the 1939 Pulitzer Prize winner. This is another book that I'd heard of, but had no real idea what it was about. If pressed, I'd have said it's a children's book. Well ... yes and no. It is a story of a young boy, but there are some dark...

Why the warning? Well, it's a 20 minute song that I'm not particularly fond of (especially the screaming distortion toward the end). W/r/t spoilers, in chatting with some of the other attendees we were told (unprompted) that that was going to be the encore and that they'd I kept thinking...

Skenes up and starting Saturday I should skyrocket up the table now.

I saw The Decemberists last night. Great show (although be forewarned, the encore is Joan in the Garden). The thing I like about the Decemberists in concert is that they always seem to have great openers. I've seen Alvvays open for them. And although you wouldn't consider them openers, I saw...

Back atcha! Wasn't aware Frank Turner had released anything. I just started listening to it and really like the 1st song. Hope the rest is just as good.

I've watched a lot of SNL episodes from start to finish, and I can say without fear of contradiction, that the most recent episode with Dua Lipa was one of the all time worst. Uninspired and unfunny. Hell, even Weekend Update whiffed an absurd number of times. And this after a hiatus. :thumbdown:

Happy Cinco de Cuatro!

Let's go Leaves! I BeLeave

I was actually living in DC when Kornheiser wrote that article and I clipped a copy from the Post. I wish I still had it. :sadbanana:

I think you're confusing dinosaur with cheapskate. If you were a dinosaur, you'd be hand-cranking the old Victrola playing 1/4" think 78s, not using space age technology. You're basically Save-a-Buck Rogers in the 25th century. ;)

I would love to see A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole made into anything: movie, streaming series, grade school diorama. ‘A Confederacy of Dunces’: A History of Hollywood’s ‘Cursed’ Adaptation 😭

I consider myself to be very fortunate, so 0-1 per year for me.

When you say it doesn't have any holes, does that include USB slots? If not, try this

Why not use Spotify (or another streaming service)? Shoot the lock off the wallet. You'll save hours and hours of time and have much more music to choose from to boot. ETA: I did a double take when I saw the timestamp on this post. I thought I'd stumbled across an orphan thread from old yeller.

Whenever I think of Dan Brown, I think of The Dan Brown Code from way back in 2004.

I just finished The Late George Apley: A Novel in the Form of a Memoir by John Phillips Marquand, the 1938 Pulitzer Prize winner. I went into the book without doing any research into either the novel or the author. Initially, I really hated it. It wasn't over the top in terms of highlighting...

Can't we all just get along?
