Read MoreRe-Enter Sandman with these 3 rad chiquitas
/I guess I'm stuck on Metallica covers because after seeing last weeks badass Enter Sandman cover from Banjo Guy Ollie, I stumbled upon The Warning rocking the shit out of their own version of the song:
In the battle for "Cutest Sibling Trio", The Warning just curb stomped Hanson.
Nobody tell this kid that she's not on stage in front of 90,000 screaming Russians, though. She'll bring that axe down across the bridge of your nose.
Dany will run your ass off with the taste of blood in your mouth and the sound of her laughter ringing in your ears.
Who'd you like better; Ollie or the Warning?

Leonard in Slow Motion- A Short Film Review
/
The presented hook for this short is Martin Starr, known for his roles in "Freaks and Geeks " and "Silicon Valley". I've never personally seen either of those shows, but the premise of this particular short tickled my curiosity quite a bit: A man in love with a coworker that can't express his affections because of his slow pace of life. His literal, slow-motion, pace of life.

Listen, I'm not trying to be rude to this kid. He's doing some fine cosplay here, though his friends shouldn't play with knives. But to call this a "real life Batsuit"? That's real life bullshit.

/
I saw the Family Crest's name on The Outside Lands 2015 lineup and remembered how much I love this song. It opens with the sound of a ships horn moaning across the San Francisco bay. We hear them periodically from the CTOB global headquarters/home office on Nob Hill. On a calm Frisco night, it's like hearing the Golden Gate Bridge hum when it doesn't think you're listening.
