– Billy Childish, interviewed for Crawdaddy.
I spent 10 minutes devouring this piece and another 20 combing through it, trying to decide which gem to pluck from it and set in a Tumblr post.
Which means you should pretty much go read the entire thing right now, if you’re any kinda-sorta artist, or...

So, I just started watching The Tudors...
and wow, I am so happy to be alive now instead of then. It basically sucked to be anyone except the king, or someone the king liked—preferably male, because if you were a female and the king liked you and you got you pregnant, you had to go into seclusion and your child may be taken away. Makes you wonder how many everyday folks are wandering around that have no idea they possess royal...

Pilots are tricky things because they have a cast that doesn’t know each other all that well, and writers that are still fumbling around with the characters and story lines. It doesn’t help that network execs hover round to see if this disparate group of...

"The Beginning in the End" (Bones Season 4...
I was pumped for this episode. Some online spoiler columnist had been hinting that B&B were finally going to get together in the season ender. Not only did that not happen, the whole finale was a crazy mess. It didn’t further the relationship much, and the events leading up to it were pretty wacko. There was the ‘brain tumor’ storyline with Booth hallucinating...
