I have never really liked sushi for some reason. It's not that it tastes bad, but I just don't understand the ritualistic eating patterns or how to even figure out what is the best kind to eat. A couple years ago, I tried a poke (pronounced po-KAY) bowl and it started to grow on me after a few times. What I really like is…
From the ashes of the punk/emo band At the Drive-In rose the phoenix of The Mars Volta, the prog rock brainchild of Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. In 2003, they released this, their first album and hoo boy was no one ready for it. The energy and extreme rocking still crushes to this day. It's got bass work from Flea of the Red Hot…
This week, there wasn't much new, but this surprise single dropped and made my day. It likely means there is more on the way, even though they just released an album last year. Bring it. I've loved the Joywave boys since I saw them on a Coachella live stream probably around 2015. They had a great, energetic live set, but they still seemed like…
In this latest HBO Max theatrical home release, the loveable kitty cat Tom chases the scheming mouse Jerry around New York City in an odd mix of animation and live action. The kiddos seemed to really like it. The jokes and sight gags were more their speed. For a kids movie, it was OK, but not anything I ever want to watch again. My…
Let me preface this by saying I bought this sandwich to try, but didn't eat it for almost 3 hours. So, I warmed it up in the microwave to bring it back up to operating temperature. It was surprisingly spicy and tasty. The chicken patty is the same one they use in the spicy chicken sandwich, which I've always enjoyed. Then they add some…
My sister bought the cassette tape of this album and listened to it on repeat. I was still pretty young at the time, but the music definitely made an impact on me. It is notorious for the hit singles: "Personal Jesus" and "Enjoy the Silence." I think it is solid from start to finish. It manages to kick in full gear where needed and…
First, some history:This behemoth came out about five years ago and at that time, it seemed like a good idea. Take a quesadilla and merge it with a chalupa. Sort of like a deep-fried taco shell with cheese baked into it. Then came time to try it and boy, that thing did not live up to the hype. It was too greasy and not…
This is not an album, like I had thought. It's just a three song single/EP. In fact, I don't even know what this is. I think I've listened to this band before and liked them back in the late 2000s. This seems a lot different from what I remember. It sounds like industrial goth on the lines of Ministry or KMFDM from the 90s.…
Ever since Popeye's created their chicken sandwiches, the world has gone nuts for the chicken sandwich. Chik-Fil-A always had a great chicken sandwich, but as soon as Popeye's started having chicken sandwich shortages, every one wanted in on the fun. So, I was not surprised at all when I saw that Church's Chicken had a new chicken sandwich. I prefer the spicy versions when…
