All of the videos I put in that article back in 2008 are now long gone, unfortunately. But there are others from the same performance that can be found elsewhere. Here's another version of "Spike Driver Blues": www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHMt...

It was eye-opening to rewatch "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" in which the bad guys hold an entire subway car for ransom for ... $1 million.

This is one of those tunes from "69 Love Songs" that never truly grabbed me, but Olivia Rodrigo's cover has made me hear it in a new light. It is, in the words of the song itself: transcendental. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e-0...

Go Around Songs, Vol. 2, by Ellen Stekert 12 track album

Today is Bandcamp Friday, when the site waives its revenue share and passes the funds directly to artists. It's a great day to check out Ellen's music, including the newly released "Go Round Songs, Vol. 2"! ellenstekert.bandcamp.com/album/go-aro...

A lovable music documentary, a bloody but terrific superhero flick, a pretty lousy ghost comedy, and an anime my daughters loved (with voice work on the English dub from our friends' extremely talented son).

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Toad went back into the house. He got into bed and pulled the covers over his head again.

I love this cover. I also love the album where it first appeared: RUBY TRAX, an NME covers compilation.
