  • Fantasy author Jim C. Hines list of 20 Neil Gaiman Facts--eat your heart out Chuck Norris
    1. Neil Gaiman once wrote a Nebula-winning story using only the middle row of his keyboard.
    2. Harper Collins has taken out a 2.5 million dollar insurance policy on Neil Gaiman’s accent.
    3. If you write 1000 words and Neil Gaiman writes 1000 words, Neil Gaiman has written more than you.

  • Music Reviewer/Author Chuck Klosterman reviews the remastered works of The Beatles
    Like most people, I was initially confused by EMI's decision to release remastered versions of all 13 albums by the Liverpool pop group Beatles, a 1960s band so obscure that their music is not even available on iTunes. The entire proposition seems like a boondoggle. I mean, who is interested in old music? ...

    It is not easy to categorize the Beatles' music; more than any other group, their sound can be described as "Beatlesque." It's akin to a combination of Badfinger, Oasis, Corner Shop, and everyother rock band that's ever existed.
