🎧 R.E.M.’s 1991 album “Out Of Time” 🎧
I’ve been listening to a lot of R.E.M. this week. (I’ve also been watching a lot of R.E.M. interviews!) “Out Of Time” was just such a massive album with some songs getting major alt radio play. “Near Wild Heaven” and “Half A World Away” are my two favorite tracks, and those didn’t get any radio…
Random Joy: Peacemaker Season 2
If you’d have told me that I would enjoy a TV series build around the 1960’s Charlton Comics character Peacemaker I’d have laughed in your face. Yet here I am, in 2025, 100% loving James Gunn’s Peacemaker!!! And James Gunn can write some of the strongest comic book-ish girl bosses in a way that makes…

The La’s / There She Goes
Someone on the comments of this video said “The best song the ’60s never created, released in the ’80s yet resembling a track from the ’90s.” So very very (mostly) true. Let’s face it though, 1990 when it was released was still very much part of the late 80s pop culture and music-wise.

Theseus and the Minotaur
A truly beautiful illustration of Theseus and the Minotaur from the book Myths and Legends (1964). I have obviously seen many illustrations by Alice and Martin Provensen over the decades but never attached the artists to the work. They were incredibly productive during their careers. Both are now gone, but take a moment to go…
🖸 Favorite Nala Songs 🖸
One of the great more recent things that Death Cab for Cutie has done is release a (mostly) acoustic version of the entire “Asphalt Meadows” album. Some of the songs work so well in this format, especially this version of “Rand McNally”. “I Miss Strangers”, “Fragments From the Decade”, and “Here to Forever” work well…
From Nala’s Basement…
So I’ve been cleaning and reorganizing the basement in preparation to bring all of the Transformers back out of storage to finally deal with them. (15 years or so in the making really!) I found 2 of my favorite early-mid 80s frame promo posters from DC and Marvel. Working in a comic shop in my…
🖸 Favorite Nala Songs 🖸
Teddybears’ 2016 “Sunshine” (feat. Malte Holmberg & Natalie Storm) from “Rock On” is a great song and fits today’s weather and mood.
