  • True Genius

    Box art for the Criterion Collection release of Baby Geniuses. Fun fact: I started to look for the movie so I could pull something out of it for the cover, but then I realized that no one would know who or what was actually in the movie.
    I believe the children are our future.

  • Barry Bostwick’s Greatest Role

    The cover for the Criterion Collect release of Megaforce.

  • Missed the best one!

    I can’t believe I posted those Criterion Collection films yesterday and missed the one that’s the surefire winner of everything. Forgive me.

    Pete Davidson better be working on his Best Actor acceptance speech!

  • Oscars are coming!

    There are only a couple of months until the 95th Academy Awards. While I have already seen every single film that came out in 2022, I try to rewatch likely Best Picture nominees at least six times before the broadcast so I can really lock down my picks. While I usually have to settle for streaming, a few of the sure-fire nominees have been released as fully remastered Criterion Collection discs. These are the miracles of 2022 that I now own. Highly recommended.

  • Howdy, Darkness!

    Old friends

  • Yankee Candles, Part 2

    No way! Even more candles!

  • New Yankee Candles

    I hadn’t been to a Yankee Candle for a while. These are some new scents I saw. Or maybe they’re old. I’m no candle historian. Still, some bold and exciting choices here. Why not start the new year right with a couple of these smellmakers?

  • A Bee Snorter’s Amalgam – More Beatles Anagrams

    Part two of my “remake Beatles album covers with anagrams” project.

    Part one.

    ¡EL HP! (Help!)

    Our Burbles (Rubber Soul)

    This now looks like a Pearl Jam/Herb Alpert supergroup cover.

    Lover Rev (Revolver)

  • A Manager’s Bleats – Beatles Anagrams

    Someone on twitter did an awesome silly thing where they re-titled James Bond movies with their anagrams. I thought it was a great idea, so I stole it to re-do Beatles albums. Here’s the first batch. I’m skipping the early Capitol hacked-up albums.

    Peep Lame Easels (Please Please Me)

    Featuring 300% more George.

    White Slab Teeth (With The Beatles)

    Now with 50% less Ringo

    Aghast, Randy Hid (A Hard Day’s Night)

    Aghast, Randy Hid (A Hard Day's Night) album cover
    Now with 2400% more back-of-George’s-head.

    A Stereo Elf Slab (Beatles For Sale)

    Now with 100% more Ringo (nose only)

    The problem with Beatles anagrams is that their album titles are usually pretty short. Some of these would be under ten letters if I didn’t include “Beatles” in the name.

    The White Album is probably going to be super lame.

  • The Most Important Records of All Time

    These are the greatest albums ever recorded, and this certainly isn’t just a repost of old junk that I’m using to test how things look when posted to Facebook. Take the time to find these at your local record shop. I won’t regret it!

    Entirely composed from Asner’s grunts and body noises. Most people are more familiar with Giorgio Moroder’s remix of “Midnight After Taco Bell,” but the original is a stark reminder of the raw power of field recordings.
