Shoegazer Sunday: Jesus on Heroine’s “Jesus on Heroin”

Sunday, May 11th, 2014

2015 To Be Filled With Blockbuster Franchise Sequels

Monday, May 5th, 2014

There’s lots of news about staggeringly successful, critically acclaimed movie franchise having new installments out in 2015.

  • Star Wars Episode VII will come out December 18, 2015.
  • Avengers: Age of Ultron comes out May 1, 2015.
  • Sharknado 3

    It’s “John John Let’s Hope for Peace” by Yoko Ono, John Lennon and The Plastic Ono Band off Live Peace in Toronto 1969:

    Think of it less as a piece of music than as a way to clear the room at the end of a party…

    Library Addition: Ursula K. Le Guin’s Four Different Poems

    Thursday, May 1st, 2014

    Another weird library addition, not so much a book as a “book-like object.”

    Le Guin, Ursula K. Four Different Poems. Longhouse, 2007. First edition chapbook original, a 3″x5″ card with an accordion foldout attached and a title band signed by Le Guin wrapped around, one of only 24 signed copies, a Fine copy.

    Le Guin 4

    An odd item with a very small limitation. Bought for $20 off the Internet.
