I have decided that what my life has been lacking lately has been Clutch. Sadly, I am cut off from my music collection for the foreseeable future (at least as far as uploading to VOX goes) so you will have to make do with the leavings from previous posts.
P.S. I think I now officially do not give a fuck about Heroes. Oh sure, last night's big secret was clever, but, really how could I possibly be impressed after sitting through six weeks waiting for pay out? Also, if you don't get around to ponying up for your writers, and you do, in fact, end on episode 12, I will personally come down there and skullfuck each and every one of you. Your pacing is bad enough without something like that happening.
Ex post facto: Do you know what happens when you take a decent many-episode story and are forced to suddenly truncate it? John From Cincinnati happens. The psychic retard league (a.k.a. "space goths") happens.
JUST DON'T DO IT!
It's not a spoiler if you've already seen the episode, of course, but I wanted to give everyone fair warning. Actually, it's hardly a spoiler if you haven't. And anyway, I turn up my nose at the haxiness of using black on black text in an embed tag. Welcome to search engine optimization circa 1997.
Item one: Heroes was brought to us with limited commercial interruption by Nissan. Boy was it ever. It was almost like being on Vox. I kid, I kid.
Item two: Is it just me or is Kensei the low budget version of Paul Bettany? Plus, I can only see two possible directions for this plot thread, and both smack of a lack of creativity that I might have expected from other shows, but disappoints me in Heroes. Still, I said the same thing almost every week about BSG and they had a knack of pulling a third route out of their hats and surprising me. (That is until I found out that the Cylons have a mystic connection to Bob Dylan. That one's just got me grasping at straws.)
The live Steve Earle recording of Christmas in Washington put me in mind of these two bits about heroes. I hope I'm wearing out the U. Utah Philips welcome by posting him twice in... well, okay, it's nothing compared to the number of times I post something from Tom Waits.
Alastair Moock's album A Life I Never Had has got some really fun tracks on it, mixed in with a few slightly full of himself folk singer tracks, but it's definitely worth it if you're in to that kind of thing.
