Yes, if you feel any desire to see The Cabin in the Woods, you do need to see it as soon as possible so as to avoid any spoilers.

Note: Before you get too excited, it looks like the closest stop on the first tour is in KC.

This has been going around, and I've long since lost track of where I originally found it:

So, I am now willing to consider the premise that there exists dubstep which does not suck. So, where can I find similar non-suckage (i.e. no gorram Skrillex) to add to my arsenal library?

Interesting passage from a book I'm reading (emphasis mine):

"Once commercial radio took off in 1922, it would take the record industry, publishers, and the union decades to allow radio DJs to legally play records on the air. Rather than embrace radio as a promotional vehicle, record companies placed warnings on record labels, forbidding their broadcast. The musician's union struck for almost a year to protest the practice of playing records on the radio.

"The American Society of Composers and Publishers (ASCAP) forbade radio from playing any songs written by their members. In response, the national Association of Broadcasters (NAB) formed Broadcast Music International (BMI), which signed up many young country ("hillbilly"), folk, and African-American songwriters and artists to write and record records that could be played on the radio. This move had a significant impact on the development of popular music on the airwaves, giving an early boost to musical styles and musicians who may have been kept off the radio entirely, if radio's commercial potential had been known."

It's 4:15 AM, and I'm in Paducah reinstalling Windows on my Dad's PC because I woke up from a strange dream.

All in all, I'm happier having to come down here for a technical "emergency" than a medical emergency.

I have two initial concerns about this list of the top 25 cult film actors:

1. As slacktivist asks, how is Bruce Campbell only #5 on the list?
2. Why is Jeffrey Combs not on the list at all?

Feel free to share your own concerns.
