Honest Trailers | Drive

“Welcome…(pause)…to the Honest Trailer…(longer pause)…for…(insanely long pause, tension builds, fades, then builds again)…Drive.”

The film that gets by mostly on the strength of its vibes, but man, great vibes. Ryan Gosling at his silent but deadliest, Nicholas Winding Refn at his least self-indulgent, and the warmest synths since Vangelis fell asleep on his Moog.

Buy Ozzy Osbourne's DNA From Liquid Death

Yes, we really got the Prince of Darkness to drink from 10 cans of our low-calorie Iced Tea. And yes, he actually crushed each can himself. In the process, he left behind trace DNA from his saliva that you can now own. He even hand-signed each packaging label.

Now, when technology and federal law permits, you’ll be able to replicate Ozzy Osbourne and enjoy him for hundreds of years into the future. But you better hurry, there are only 10 Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy cans available to buy here: https://liquiddeath.com/ozzy

The Feelies - The Mudd Club, New York City, December 29, 1978

How many times over the past 15 years (or longer?) have I considered pitching a 33 1/3 volume about Crazy Rhythms? Many times, let me assure you. Maybe someday I'll actually do it, I don't know! But until that day comes, there's a great Life of the Record episode about the making of the Feelies' beyond-classic debut LP. Lots of great detail from Bill Million and Glenn Mercer — the LOTR folks know how to put together a compelling, knowledgeable podcast!

If the episode puts you in the mood for some more Feelies, here's an excellent audience tape from late '78, when the band was in the earlier stages of their Crazy Rhythms trip, playing comparatively raw/feral versions of that album's tunes, capped off by covers of the MC5 and Eno. Radical, as always. The only question here is about the venue — my files say it's Max's Kansas City, but the ever-wise Feelies website says it's the Mudd Club! I'm going to go with the Mudd Club, but if you know better, let me know!

And hey, the Feelies have a new covers collection — Rewind, out today! Nothing new here, but nice to have it all in one place. And the band is playing a couple of shows in September! Will I be there?! Probably not, but I would love to be.

“That ear,” Bob Dylan once remarked. “I mean, Jesus, he’s got to will that to the Smithsonian.”
