Issue #139: Top 5 Albums, Movies and TV Shows.
“…what really matters is what you like, not what you are like…Books, records, films–these things matter. Call me shallow but it’s the truth…” (Record store owner Rob Gordon, as played by John Cusack in “High Fidelity”)
We almost always talk about things that we love on the podcast and usually that love is directed towards comics and lately the World Cup. This week we are still giving our love to lots of comics but we’re shaking things up a bit and sharing our Top 5 Albums, Movies and TV Shows of all-time. Ooh la la!
If you feel like listening along check out our Spotify playlist of our Favorite Albums! (Note: Spotify doesn’t have The Beatles, Tool, or Pamelia Kurstin*)
Lightning Round books include: Empire of the Dead, Avengers, Harley Quinn, Red Sonja, Aquaman and the Others, Preacher, Flex Mentallo, Sex Criminals, Uncanny X-Men, Original Sin.
Books of the Week include: Silver Surfer, Star Trek: City on the Edge of Forever, Ghosted, Hellboy in Hell, The Wicked + the Divine, The Occultist, The Strain, Best American Comics of 2013.
(*With Pamelia Kurstin’s album “Gymnopedie” unavailable, here’s a video of Ms. Kurstin playing (among others) “Lush Life” from that LP, as well as giving a brief overview of the Theremin, the first electronic musical instrument. For some reason, the video has gotten shrunk; click on “full frame”, and it ‘ll be fine!)
