Tomorrow morning, Saturday, from 9 AM to 12 Noon EST (although we might wrap it earlier if a blizzard is rolling in) I’ll be co-hosting Ariel’s college radio show (her usual partner is leaving early so I’m subbing in). You can listen to it on line at whrtradio.com, and not only that, you can call in at (203) 365-4747 to request songs or just chat. So if you ever wanted to have the chance to talk with Ariel or–less likely–me, give a call. The lines will be open.

“Dexter by Design” is the fourth and most recent installment in the novel series by Dexter’s creator, Jeff Lindsay. It details Dexter’s honeymoon with his newly married wife, Rita, and his subsequent dust-up with a bizarre whack-job who fancies himself an artiste.
It was fun. It was entertaining. It was head and shoulders above the previous installment which took the series right off the rails with the ill-advised, gothic horror notion that Dexter’s “Dark Passenger” is not a psychological manifestation of his id, but a genuine ancient dark god.
But it was nothing compared to the gut-wrenching fourth season of Dexter’s Tv incarnation, which was partly ruined by Showtime’s ill-advised promotions warning you that the most shocking moments in the episode were the last few seconds. Major spoiler discussion follows because, well, there’s no way around it. So I’m seriously warning you. Especially my sister who hasn’t watched any of the fourth season yet. Beth, if you’re reading this: Stop reading.
For those of you who are familiar with the group “Coheed and Cambria,” this announcement from their website will be of some interest to you:
Hey Everybody,
Happy Holidays and all that. We know you have been waiting patiently for Coheed info for 2010, so we hope this fills your hunger for now:
Our new album will be titled, “Year of the Black Rainbow,” and is set for release in April 2010 and will be followed by a headline tour of the US, and then on to Europe and the UK for festivals and such.
As most of you know, the new album will be the “Origin Story” or “The Prequel,” and likely the final story of the ongoing concept story of “The Amory Wars”
With “Year of the Black Rainbow,” we will be releasing a deluxe package that includes a NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME. Not a graphic novel, but a full 300+page prose novel, which will tell the origins of Coheed and Cambria, and much more. There will be no mystery to this story, you will be able to explore it like never before. Presales will start near the end of December, exact date and pricing to be announced soon.
Co-writing the book with Claudio is Peter David.
The album will be released through Columbia Records/Sony in North America. For the rest of the world, Sony has licensed the rights to Roadrunner Records, who we feel will better make our music available in those territories, and opening up the potential for us to come to countries we rarely or never have been to before. We are very excited.
Can’t wait til you can experience it.
Peace,
Co&Ca
…because there’s dámņëd near nothing you can’t find out on the Internet.
Paloma Faith released a video a few months back for her song “New York.” It was shot almost entirely in a bowling alley. Anyone know where?
