  • Two years of watching Movies You must See Before You Die

    Listed in this post are my favorite films that I’ve watched since October 2014 from the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. You can read more about the first year, but I do have a couple of things I’d add to my initial commentary: In case you hadn’t noticed already, I place a…

  • Best Albums of 2014

    My third annual list. This is mostly personal preference, but with an ear to recommend both popular and obscure (mostly alt-rock and electronic) albums to other music lovers.

Without giving away too much of the plot—is there one?—I’ve attempted to collect as much information about the film that I could dig up. Take…

  • Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters, Forecastle 2013

    Zepfanman has finally seen (a fourth of) Zeppelin. Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters played at 7pm on the final day (Sunday, 7/14/13) of Louisville’s annual Forecastle festival. The performance was the icing on the cake of an epic weekend of music, with a set on the main Mast Stage between Grace Potter &…
