Here we have the WSJ getting people who know fuck all about popular music to write about popular music. Johnny Cash and deeply uncool will never belong in the same sentence.

The Wall Street Journal @wsj.com · 13h

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

Essay | Can We Finally Give Johnny Cash His Due?

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, the country-music legend can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength.

Spectacular display of daylight robbery from Scotland. Can't complain about the score, but Greece must be wondering how they got their pockets picked.

Scotland don't seem to care that this is a World Cup Qualifier. No drive or enthusiasm about them. Sad to see.

My *major* occult discovery POSSESSED, a novel by Rosalie and Edward Synton (real surname Corse-Scott), has a cover! It's out on December 4 - I'm *really* excited for you to read the book and my 5,000 word introduction which gives life to the authors and a critical overview of the novel.

I have both of these on DVD. Well worth your time if you're of a Lovecraftian persuasion... nicely done with great love and care for genre history.

Our movies of “The Call of Cthulhu” and “The Whisperer in Darkness” are once again available to stream on Amazon prime, at least in the US. And on Tubi, and of course on DVD from our store with fun bonus features!

Over 20.0°C here today in Newfoundland, and for the next couple of days. On 7th October. It ain't anywhere near natural. And with water running short all over the island, it ain't welcome either.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
