Twin Peaks and beer geeks! This is the description from Dogfish Head about their new “Black Lodge” brew:

Other night at the bar…
Me: “I feel like my life is this Timothy Hutton indie from the late 90s.”
Pal: “Who’s Timothy Hutton?”
Well, if you take the past few days, not only is my sentiment confirmed but it get’s a heavy dose of irony. Ps. The movie was Beautiful Girls. And it wasn’t very good. From what I remember… Hutton’s character...

From Vulture, http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2012/01/patton-oswalts-oscar-twitter.html:
Patton Oswalt did not get nominated for an Oscar this morning, and he responded in the most fun way possible: By creating a fantasy world on Twitter in which fellow snub-ees rent out Legoland, among other activities. “Join me for a drink at The Drawing Room, @AlbertBrooks? Me and Serkis have...
The Oscars are such garbage. That said, stoked Gary Oldman was nominated for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Too bad the Academy apparently didn’t see Shame! Or Senna! Like I said, garbage.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is out in Calgary this weekend. Saw it three times in London, and it took three viewings to make me love it. Here’s my initial review:

No, not the action star
The other Steve McQueen talks Shame
It’s a hell of a name to live up to considering the action star that came before him, but British artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen is exceeding expectations. With his second film, Shame, garnering wide...
Coolbeans: Local 510 is now sponsoring my radio show! Tune in, Fridays at 10am on CJSW 90.9FM. I’ve been gunning for an excuse to think about burgers while announcing tracks.
In other news, today I went to a restaurant and ordered perogies at 11am. Cool it, it was a side dish. Bacon, eggs and perogies. Oh! Also had a nap… in the bath.

Unknown Pleasures Joy Division (Factory, 1979) This was the first and only time that the band gave me something that they’d like for a cover. I went to see Rob Gretton, who managed them, and he gave me a folder of material, which contained the wave image from the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy. They gave me the title too but I didn’t hear the album. The wave pattern...
