ADELAIDE VON CLEEF (joyfully) It’s like a baby shower, but since I’m still in the first trimester, a drizzle is the party that comes before a shower! Everyone stares at her.

Werewolf XXXII Signups: As The Wolf Turns

Werewolf game hosted by Spiny Creature EXT. SOAPSTONE, CALIFORNIA – DAY We open on an establishing shot of a sun-soaked town – more of an enclave, maybe – with too much wealth and too many secrets. The camera pans over the terracotta roofs of mansion after mansion, each with a swimming pool out back gleaming like a turquoise stone. But on the outskirts of town – near the border with the city of Low Junction – lie neighborhoods with less luck. There, the residents – some family black sheep, some broke divorcees, some bitter barmen and waitresses – fume about … Continue reading Werewolf XXXII Signups: As The Wolf Turns

Artist Spotlight: The Mars Volta

Review courtesy of Pauli The Mars Volta are a polarizing band. Rarely will you come across anyone assessing their ambitious mish-mash of prog, post-hardcore, Latin, metal, funk, and whatever else with an “Eh, it’s alright.” Either you are transported into a realm of beautiful and terrifying genre-less bliss, or you reject their marathon-long “songs” as deluges of bong-water wankery, fit only for undiscriminating college students. I was certainly a college student – of, let’s say, “questionable” discrimination – when I got into The Mars Volta. I spent more time my freshman year listening to The Mars Volta’s first three works … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: The Mars Volta

Artist Spotlight: Leo Kottke

Artist Spotlight courtesy of thunderclap_monolith People who hear Leo Kottke (pronounced Kot-Key) for the first time always say variations on the same thing: “Wow!” Followed, somewhat suspiciously, by: “Wait, that’s just one guy playing?” Indeed, Kottke, a virtuoso instrumentalist and true trailblazer, can sound like he has four hands when he throttles an acoustic guitar, going way beyond simple strumming and fingerpicking to turn a 6-string or 12-string into its own orchestra, complete with textures that serve as rhythm, lead and vocals all at once. Even longtime listeners are often slack jawed—not only at the virtuosity but also how Leo … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: Leo Kottke

Werewolves XXIV: Litigation (6th Session)

DO NOT POST HERE IF YOU AREN’T PLAYING. If you’d like to comment on the game, make a request here and I’ll give you a link to the graveyard QT. What goes on in the minds of the affluent to so often have them thinking they’re above the law? After confessing nonchalantly to all the charges levied against him and even more, the defendant – Flubdub D. Gunterpake – thought he would try to negotiate a deal or rather coerce the jury into letting him go free. With the confidence of a man twice dead inside and coddled his entire life by … Continue reading Werewolves XXIV: Litigation (6th Session)

Director Spotlight: Hiroyuki Imaishi

Director Spotlight courtesy of Ben So you ever watch a bunch of stuff, that you really enjoyed, then look into who created it and realized that the same person made like all your favorite things? So that’s how I discovered the anime director Hiroyuki Imaishi. But his directorial work is skipping a bit ahead. He started his career in Doujin circles (Japanese fan comics) and later moved onto published Manga. Unfortunately I can’t find much about his time in these wich is a shame cause I would love to see what he did in these areas. He moved into animation … Continue reading Director Spotlight: Hiroyuki Imaishi
