Happy Birthday to me and Tony Iommi! (And also, Nicolaus Copernicus!) #birthday #birthdayboys #tonyiommi #blacksabbath #copernicus

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Seems like an appropriate time to confirm myself & @bryanreesman.bsky.social do the commentary for this sucker… or should I say “hisser”? Out in the US on January 20, 2026 from my pals and yours at @arrowvideo.bsky.social!

Sadly, too many young people are used to hearing computerized rock and pop music now. So much stuff is set to a click, and I think a lot of these groups don't actually know how to play well live and have the ebb and flow that can make a concert really interesting.

"Side Jams" Episode #87: Guitarist Neil Giraldo combines passion for music and bourbon. Three Chord Bourbon has done collabs with Halestorm, the Allman Brothers, and Dinosaur Jr., among others. youtube.com/watch?v=tnrb... #neilgiraldo #threechordbourbon #bourbon #halestorm #patbenatar #sidejams

A tricky part about loving horror movies and cult films is that... they're not always what we expect. I now have a 15-minute rule where I check out early if it's not grabbing me.

For the record, Max did not bring his old timey radio to our recording session, but it might have been fun if he had!

My Spinal Tap interview is the lead feature on Grammy.com today! We cover everything from David's beef with Paul McCartney to Nigel's dream for them to play in a space station. And was Sabrina Carpenter inspired by the "Smell The Glove" cover? www.grammy.com/news/spinal-... #spinaltap #spinaltapii

I loved the second night of the 10th annual A Murder Of Crows goth and post-punk festival on Saturday night. It was a bit of a mid-'90s flashback as I saw many people I first got to know back then, all of whom are still doing their music. #amurderofcrows #goth #postpunk #livemusic

I mainly buy indie comics. There are a lot of good horror books out there too.

It's amazing what brainwashing will do. It's also weird how so many poor people believe that most rich people actually care about them. They just dream that someday they'll acquire that wealth and thus buy into the trickle down BS.

So true. Or society does not encourage creative or critical thinking much. It's all about making money, and too much of a focus on that leads to lack of empathy, even for one's self. Everyone should have a creative outlet to express themselves, even if the rewards are not monetary.

Here's my interview with georgetakei.bsky.social about his second graphic novel memoir. We cover everything from his "Twilight Zone" episode and "Star Trek" comic book story to how current events echo darker ones from our past. tinyurl.com/ypp4c878 #georgetakei #memoir #comics

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Sadly funny. #socialmedia #likesandcomments #onlineaddiction #virtuallife

Every. Damn. Time. #usb #usbdrive #flashdrive

I found my Ozzy interview from Inked in 2010. He gave me twice the time I needed and offered sincere answers. Yet while I understood him during the interview, I slowed my recorder to half speed to transcribe it. 😅 Only Ozzy could get away with that pull quote then. #ozzy #blacksabbath

This one's going to hit a lot of Gen Xers hard. Farewell. #ozzy #ozzyosbourne #blacksabbath #metal #metalicon

@twintribes.bsky.social are the Goth band of the moment, and for "Side Jams" we spoke about their love for wrestling and lucha libre, and the connection to their genre and vampires. Full episode: youtu.be/U0t_cfdQLQU #twintribes #wrestling #luchalibre #vampires #gangrel #vampiro #theundertaker

I love a good Christmas chiller.

I guess this is where aspiring horror authors say, "I'll have what he's having."

Dee Snider recalls how wrestler Mick Foley helped him become a more charitable human being. We discuss his journey into charitable giving and philanthropy. Full "Side Jams" episode here: youtu.be/7MFqke4IXX8 #deesnider #mickfoley #twistedsister #charity #charitablegiving #philanthropy #musicsky

Same here.

This is sad and so unnecessary. And on brand. #npr #pbs #publictelevision #defunded #education

Retro fun. #lindaronstadt #drstrange #captainamerica #c3p0 #pizzazz #1970s

Recent horror comics to catch up on. #bloodtype #theslashersapprenrice #epitaphsfromtheabyss #ourbrilliantruin #thecurseofsherleejohnson #thegunhand #horrorcomics

Since Live Aid is being revisited, why not watch my "Side Jams" interview with Midge Ure, the event's important co-organizer. We spoke about his love for cooking, touring with Thin Lizzy, and his Ultravox photographs. Full episode here: youtu.be/nCIFNSg6o20 #MidgeUre #Ultravox #LiveAid #cooking

Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson talks about British comic book tales he loved growing up: The Mekon, Dan Dare, Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire. In our "Side Jams" chat we also discuss Marvel icons. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJfL... #comics #theeagle #triganempire #dandare #themekon #ironmaiden

BMRC have some terse words for DHS. To the point! ;) #BMRC #DHS #copyright

It was great to see Michael Cerveris and Kimberly Kaye perform Loose Cattle songs and other originals. Michael opened with 2 or 3 songs from his tortured young man phase, with apropos tongue-in-cheek commentary. An emotional set last night! #michaelcerveris #kimberlykaye #loosecattle #americana

It was nice to meet David Korins, acclaimed architect and four-time Tony Award-nominated scenic designer for "Hamilton," "Beetlejuice," "Here Lies Love," and other shows. We've done phoners before. Check out his exhibition at the Museum of Broadway! #davidkorins #hamilton #beetlejuice #herelieslove

I'm very proud of the "Mapping Of Pelham One Two Three" feature on Arrow Video's 4K reissue of "The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three". I'm producer, writer, & host. @maxevry.bsky.social directed and edited it. (FYI: screenshots from my phone, not actual captures.) #physicalmedia #specialfeatures

First Father's Day without you. Miss you, Dad.

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts where the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired. We sorted this out already. #noking #notyranny #nokings #america250 #freedom

I met Jason and lived! Happy Friday the 13th! #kanehodder #fridaythe13th #jasonvorhees #horror #chchchahahah

Longtime fans know what John Waite has been up to, but I wrote a Remind Magazine primer for those who want to learn more. Catch him on the road with Rick Springfield right now! www.remindmagazine.com/article/3022... #johnwaite #thebabys #badenglish #missingyou #isntittime #allstarrband

My first story for Bloomberg! #taylorswift #musicbusiness #artistsrights #taylorsversions

I think they should do a collab and call the band name, album, and lead single Roger Taylor. Like other artists did in the '80s. #rogertaylor #queen #duranduran #drummers #musicsky

That would be great irony.

Happy World Goth Day! To celebrate, here's a trip back to my 2017 Observer story on the event featuring quotes from Scary Lady Sarah, co-founders DJ Cruel Brittania and DJ Martin Oldgoth, and others from around the world. #worldgothday #goth #observer #music #darkmusic

Farewell, Norm. I enjoyed seeing you in "Re-Animator: The Musical" too. #georgewendt #cheers #norm #reanimator #dabears #secondcity
