Grinderman @ Henry Fonda Theatre 11/30/10
I've been chomping at the bit for this show for a couple months now. Actually, scratch that, a couple years, as somehow I missed Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn P. Casey and Jim Sclavunos when they toured for the original Grinderman album in aught-seven. And… Continue reading

Lovecraft
I'd be lying if I didn't admit that as I've gotten older I've developed somewhat of a distance to H.P. Lovecraft's writing, even though they are possibly the most influential prose on my person from my younger days. It's not the concepts, it's the actual… Continue reading
