It’s ok. I have a fully valid excuse for letting the moss grow on ye olde weblog… I had a kid!  Her name is Jade Elizabeth and she’s the apple of my eye.

I promise to get back to more regular postings and finally launching a new design I’ve been putting together on and off for the last few months.

This is a helluva track from junk shop glam band Daddy Maxfield — pure UK glam at it’s finest. The track is from 1973 and came out on Pye Records. This one is shit sizzling hot, folks.

The first track of KISS’ new studio album Sonic Boom (first one in 11 years) Modern Day Delilah came out this week.

Ok, Silent Library is an MTV game show adapted from a segment on a Japanese variety show (weird… Americans stealing a game show concept) where contestants work together as a team and endure a sequence of punishments while trying to remain quiet as long as possible so they can win more money.

Here’s a clip from the Japanese version… which isn’t technically a game show, but follows the same basic premise. The punishments are unusually cruel but holy shit are they ever hilarious.

Mmmm… digging this.

This is the actual trailer for 2012, a movie starring John Cusack coming out this November:

And an alternate take that looks 100% more interesting and accurate:
