I was actually pretty disappointed to realize I don't really care for the new and supposedly final Ministry album. I kind of wish they'd gone out with HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES, which is a masterpiece, in my opinion. Still, Ministry rules and this song has been stuck in my head for days now.
Listen:
I didn't know about Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid's Tales from Beyond the Pale podcast until recently while watching the special features on one of my Fessenden or McQuaid Blu-rays.
While driving back from Dayton yesterday, K and I listened to the first two episodes, directed by McQuaid and Fessenden respectively, and were pretty blown away. Essentially a variation on the serialized radio Horror that would make any EC comics fan feel warm and fuzzy, this was a really great surprise to find out about. We hit the final episode right at dusk as we were taking side roads back from Kentucky, and it was perfect.
Read:
I finished Stephen King and Peter Straub's The Talisman about a week or so ago. I can't say I was more fond of it this time than last time I read it. This book just goes on and on. So much so, I felt I needed a breather before jumping into my first time through Black House. So I picked up two books I've been meaning to read for years - Jarett Kabek's Motor Spirit: The Long Hunt for the Zodiac and its companion book, How to Find the Zodiac. I blew through the first book in a fews days and am starting the second now.

Upcoming breakthrough on Earthly concerns. Hopefully that's my kidney stones, which I'm waiting to have surgery scheduled for the removal. Good fucking riddance!
