The only (new) movie Ive heard of in a coupla years i actually wanna see in a theatre. Huge crush on MG, and I really enjoyed Hysteria. No huge crush on CB and I dont know the female lead, but Bride of Frankenstein (orig) is one of my fave horror flicks. Interested to read how you like it. Enjoy!

I love DKs as if they were my own children, but this one always makes me laff bc, while I agree w the sentiment, MTV was never "on the air," they were a cable service. And yes I mention them as if they no longer exist, cuz, well...

I love DKs as if they were my own children, and I love anti music biz songs, so its no surprise this is my favorite Fuck the Music Biz song. (Someone needs to spill the video of this, stat)

Always a fun way to waste 10 minutes: reading my #Substack column #MeinKvetch to look at #LedZeppelin, #Satan, and backward messages, aka #Backmasking!

Im quite chuffed to say Im going to hear the #RingCycle at #CarnegieHall in March 2027. I could only afford a balcony seat, and if youve ever been to CH you know thats like sitting on the edge of a steep mountain, whichll be oddly appropriate. Still, itll be fn brilliant. #Vertigo #RichardWagner

A retooling of a spoken word piece that was a retooling of an essay for an aborted book project. Some will find this familiar, I hope. #StairwayToHeaven #Backmasking #Satan #HeresToMySweetSatan #LedZeppelin #LZIV #JimmyPage #RobertPlant #nevaeHoTyawriatS

Mein Kvetch 01: Is It Gin Yet? How to Drink Responsibly

Finally giving Substack a spin. All free, no paywall or subscription. I'll start taking tips in a while, not sure when. New column every week, each about a 10-minute read, which is about 85 times longer than the average orgasm.

Here's the first one. Enjoy!

I've been learning this whole Substack thing for the past month or so, and it's not as horrible as I imagined, although it'll still require lots of promotion and marketing myself, which I hate. It's a free read for all, but in a few weeks I'll put my mohl hat on and start taking tips. #MeinKvetch

The world's going to hell in a handbasket. But that's no reason not to sell a book. Come to the launch and get touched by the presence.
