(This is a guest post from our very own Jonathan McLeod!) The other day, the wife and I were watching television when an ad for Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters came on. Darlene remarked that we don’t really see the… Continue Reading →

For those that don’t recognize it, the video (but not song, which is “Ken” by Ex-Cops) above is a “cover” of a(n) (in)famous music video – “Bastards of Young”, by The Replacements. Perhaps apocryphally, the story goes that Warner Bros.… Continue Reading →

January 28, 2013Mike Schilling
