I’ve loved every John Waters movie I’ve seen, but I’m usually hesitant to recommend them to most people: it’s a bit hard to predict who’s going to love them and who’s going to be offended. Hairspray, however, I would recommend to almost anyone. It’s the least abrasive and most sentimental Waters film [...]
Link. There are sample tracks on the left of the screen. Fantastic stuff. ‘Eu verei garapé vodum!’ by Tambor de Mina sounds to me more like 2008 than 1938.

In a single hour the multitude of bands I’d seen over the year 2006 were eclipsed. Their parade of high-end equipment and rock posturing was dwarfed by this squat, middle-aged bald man with a guitar.
You see, Hamell wields the ultimate weapon that so many “artists” I saw last year lack – the truth. The [...]

When I search for music on Frostwire or Limewire, I tend to get a whole lot of presumably fake, bizarrely titled porn in the results. There are usually dozens of them, and they all have the same file size, and I guess they all contain spyware or ads for online dating or something.
Well, perhaps [...]

I just found on ThePirateBay.com a whole bunch of episodes of Weird Weekends, Louis Theroux’s funny and occasionally frightening documentary series: Link. The show is not available on DVD in Australia, as far as I know – it’s been on the top of my list of gifts to buy at Christmas for the last [...]
For some reasons why Father Bob Maguire is one of my favourite broadcasters, listen to this week’s Safran On Sunday [link]. Father Bob is funny, warm, and has a genuine, rare wisdom. In this episode, they interview, among other fascinating people, Theodore Dalrymple (whose writing I’ve linked to on this blog before). [...]

I posted a link to last week’s episode of This American Life, but this week’s episode, on the theme of superintendents, is also incredibly good. The opening segment is just about the coolest anecdote I’ve heard, the middle segment is hilarious, and the closing segment is moving. I can’t recommend this show enough. [...]
