If you need an audition piece for guitar, you could do worse that this masterpiece.

It sounds harder than it is but if you play it with proper dynamics & impeccable technique ...

My old girl - 16 year old terrier - is so funny.

Since getting older she's started whining when she needs to go outside. She doesn't want to get up until the door is open. It's like, I'm not moving unless you do.

As an oldie myself, I recognize what she's going through.

There are no happy endings. People who believe in happy endings are nowhere near the end.

So while you're here, listen to as much music as you can. If you're stuck, start here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h7j...

My family moved from the Bay Area to AZ. I was a junior in high school and not happy.

As we got closer to Phoenix, we picked up KDKB on the radio. I heard two songs for the first time:

In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Allman Brothers
Ice Cream Cakes, Jeff Beck

KDKB got me through some rough times!

It is both rainy and Monday here in NorCal.

Not really sure which is worse a rainy Monday or this song:

One of the things I love best about Warren Zevon's music is his way of creating a beautiful melody and matching it with the weirdest, most perverse lyrics.

Is there anything worse that realizing you bought the last episode of a trilogy without having the first two?

Bought it in the bargain bin. And now I know why!

If you want to talk power trios, don't sleep on Gov't Mule.

When you got to let the monster inside you
Let him come on out
Come on out and play

Someone that doesn't get near the love she deserves is Nellie McKay. If you like musicals, show tunes, jazz or just plain weird music, give her a listen.

She's a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. Heck, she's even covered Zappa:

The Exorcist, 1979

⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s a good movie. Not in my personal top 10 but a lot of people would say it’s the best horror ever made.

They’re wrong, but maybe you should listen to them. I’m wrong a lot!

Baghead, 2023

⭐⭐⭐

Production is good. Cast is a bit weak and the story is middling - interesting concept with a few twists.

The monster is well done, but the CGI is a bit schlocky. Almost like it's an AI movie.

Should have used more Peter Mullan and less CGI.

When Evil Lurks, 2023

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nothing really scares me anymore. I maybe get a chill or two.

This one didn't quite scare me, but it is one where I'm either yelling at the screen "she said don't do that" or simply staring in awe.

Best horror film of the last 5 years.

The House That Dripped Blood, 1971

⭐⭐⭐

A favorite from my childhood. It's kind of dated now, but has Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee so it's still worth a watch if you're a fan of the Hammer films.

An extra star for Ingrid Pitt!

The Innkeepers, 2011

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's not some action flick or zombie war movie. It's a ghost story and my favorite Ti West movie. I liked House of the Devil and the X films, but I love this one.

It's stylish, atmospheric, and brilliantly directed. Slow burn done well!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️

Mike Flanagan is one of the greats and this is my favorite movie he has done so far.

Don’t miss this one. It’s amazing.

Incident in a Ghostland, 2018

⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the most terrifying and heartbreaking horror movies I’ve seen. Not for the faint of heart but the story is more interesting than it appears at first glance.

Warning: it is violent.

Alien, 1979

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

H. R. Giger's monster & set design made this movie the best creature feature since the Black Lagoon. Still one of the best horror movies of all time. Atmosphere, tension, story, cast ... and it's scary too.

This is horror done right.
