#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Charles Bradley Live at WDR’s Rockpalast (2013). You can feel every raw ounce of pain from his tragic life and his deep love of 60’s #soul and #RandB in every second of his performance. Watch now and revel. #music #livemusic #youtube youtu.be/u1477zQ4A…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion II (2022 Remaster). I haven’t fired up any GNR for at least two decades, and they were hot amongst my pot-smoking pals back in the day. Not sure why I stopped. #music #rock #hardrock www.youtube.com/playlist
A review for the movie Bloat (2025). Conclusion: Don’t bother. #film #review #horror
Tedious. Annoying. Unless you have some unnatural fondness for the very particular sub-sub-genre of horror known as “screen life”, which itself is a derivative of the mostly frustrating found footage sub-genre, then you will not like this film. I could barely get through ten minutes.
Conclusion: Don’t bother.
Editor’s Note: I’ve decided this is not the format for me, so I’m reposting this in my preferred format. It’s the exact same text, so if you’ve read this, you don’t need to see the other. It’s literally just a different format. -TKN
The factions, which only teamed up because they were tired of losing alone, are already starting to clash over ideological priorities. If this wasn’t horrifying I’d be laughing my ass off, having seen this coming years in advance. #uspol #Musk #MarcoRubio #clusterfuck thehill.com/homenews/…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jethro Tull - Curious Ruminant (2025). Ian Anderson’s Tull and voice have aged poorly over the years, but this is the first new album that feels like real Tull in decades, if a tad muted. #music #progrock #folkrock www.youtube.com/playlist
Not to be a pedant, but #TFG and the #MAGA #GOP are trying to erase anything not white and/or “christian” and/or #capitalism and/or climate change and/or not explicitly for the limited benefit of their fragile egos. #BLM #uspol #fascism www.theroot.com/you-wont-…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: KARMAKANIC - Transmutation (2025). The first new album from Jonas Reingold’s KARMAKANIC in nearly a decade. Features Simon Phillips, Steve Hackett, Nick D’Virgilio, and more. #music #prog #progrock #neoprog www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Bob Mould - Here We Go Crazy (2025). Starting to check out the new releases, and there’s new Bob!! YAY!! No full album on YouTube yet, so here’s the title track. #music #rock #hardrock www.youtube.com/watch
I’ll be brief. Due to the increasing costs to live we’ve gotten behind on our lot rent and in order to stay in our home we need to pay the front office ~$6,000 by tomorrow at the latest. Despite our efforts, and with some small help from a few friends and my sister who are also strapped, we have something less than $5,000 once my wife gets paid, making us short by about $1,000. Our daughter is special needs and I am sick and cannot work. My wife is also unwell, but she continues to labor on making all of our income. Even though it’s not my fault, I still feel guilty not being able to contribute, so I am doing the only thing I can and asking the internet for help.
Regardless of our desperate circumstance, I refuse to ask …
Suits was an excellent show. Sure, it had a few minor stumbles, but it was solid entertainment.
Suits LA is a joke. The 2nd episode is terrrrrrible…
Sorry, television watchers. Hard truths suck. #TV #suits #CBS
Just came across this red band #trailer for something called The Bondsman, a Prime series starring Kevin Bacon. In his role as Hub Halloran he is a skip tracer for the Devil. That and this trailer should have you psyched for the limited series. #TV #horror #comedy www.youtube.com/watch
If you’ve ever watched Space Ghost Coast to Coast on #CartoonNetwork then you know George Lowe. He voiced Space Ghost and the show was a key element in the development of CN’s late night block, #AdultSwim. He passed away on March 2nd. #animation #TV #RIP www.yahoo.com/entertain…
Today’s Blog #42 from Rima Regas covers the #Trump congressional address of last night and a lot more. #uspol #tariffs rimaregasblog42.substack.com/i/1584522…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Descartes A Kant - Live on KEXP (2024). I get serious DEVO vibes from this band, but they’ve created their own sound, and I’m diggin' it. Definitely worth 45 minutes of your time. #music #rock #neopunk #DAK www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Various Artists - Bass Anthology: Vol. 1 (2021). I can’t find any info other than it’s from France, focuses on bass players, and is only on Apple Music so I made a playlist of what I could find. #music #bass #jazz #funk #soul #blues www.youtube.com/playlist
I recently came across a #YouTube channel called “merlin” where the creator summarizes stories and analyzes them, something like a Cliff’s Notes. Today’s episode is particularly chilling and, sadly, is even more salient now. We never learn. #books #society #humanity www.youtube.com/watch
You may have heard that #Apple announced the 11th generation base #iPad upgraded to an A16 processor and starting with 128GBs of storage, but is lacking #AppleIntelligence. Good, I say. I’m happy to have it on my Mac Mini, but don’t need it anywhere else. #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…
If anything at all makes sense in these insane times, it’s that Musk’s #DOGE is acting on the barrage of lies the #GOP and #MAGA have been slinging at the Federal government for years now. #Capitalism wants it to leave them alone so they can plunder at will. #uspol gizmodo.com/doge-prep…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Lari Basilio - Far More (2019). How many lawyers do you know who can shred like this, and with range like Eric Johnson and does an MJ cover!? Not many, I’m guessing. One complaint… the album is too short! #music #instrumental #rock www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steely Dan - Two Against Nature Live @ Sony Studios NYC (2000). As was typical of the era the audio is phenomenal but the video is 4:3 and blurry. Doesn’t matter. Still fantastic. Thanks for everything, Walter! #music #jazzrock www.youtube.com/watch
I can’t agree with @kotaku.com about most on this list. #Disney #liveaction adaptations are mostly wretched & soulless, aside from #2 The Jungle Book and #1 Pete’s Dragon, both from 2016. Lilo & Stitch might get on my list, though. #film kotaku.com/disney-li…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol IV (2017). With Greg Howe on guitar, Ernest Tibbs on bass, and Dennis Hamm on keys. The first I’d heard of Simon was on Celtic Run, the sixth track. I’ve tucked in fully since. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch
Just came across an animatic for the pilot of “Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want to be a Magical Girl” and I’m all in for it. The humor and trope flipping is sharp! #Indie #Animation has been growing strong over the past decade, and it’s glorious. @kianamai.bsky.social #YouTube www.youtube.com/watch
The wife recently discovered #Goose, an amazing new-ish #JamBand, and we’ve been digging into their epic shows. I’d read in #Wikipedia that they had a special guest drummer a couple years ago, and found it. Enjoy! #music #rock #muppets www.youtube.com/watch
