None Dare Call It Music

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: March 23, 2008 · Comments (6)

My taste in music has been described in a variety of terms. "Unusual." "Eclectic." "Execrable." "Off-beat." "Atrocious." "Odd." "Juvenile." "Pedestrian." Well, I freely admit that most of those are fairly accurate. I am a devotee of Genesis, with my preferences for the latter Gabriel years and the middle to end... [Full Story]

No Country for Old Men

Awesome flick. That Best Picture Oscar richly was deserved. It's good to see the Acadamy is getting in tune with grittier and edgier fare. For those who missed it, "No Country" takes a bit of "The French Connection," and mixes in elements of "Taxi Driver" and "The Hitcher," with a... [Full Story]

Last week on "Heroes," George Takei's character died. Tomorrow night, we meet a new character who -- I suspect -- is DL's grandmother and Micah's grandmother.

Unintended Lessons

There is a new show on one of the MSM channels, called "Cavemen". I have no intention of watching it, since the commercials have courteously advised me that the show is apparently based on a character from a car insurance advertisement series. Think about that; a show about a demographic... [Full Story]

Who remembers playing with G.I. Joe as a kid? For those of us who grew up with normal childhoods, instead of the moonbat-infested, politically correct childhoods forced onto kids today, G.I. Joe was the action figure to have. It was originally started in the 60s as a WWII soldier, with... [Full Story]
