Up Up Down Down Left Right . . .in B Flat

Take a look at this half time performance by Cal Berkeley in the fine "marching band too smart for its own good" tradition of Rice's MOB. My favorite band is still Texas' own Prairie View A&M Marching Band (The Storm!) but this here is undeniably good. I'm guessing it will be a cold day in hell before we see or hear something similarly witty from the Show Band of the Southwest.

Jeff Vandermeer's Pop Culture Report #1

The first in a new series of single-take review videos from the tireless Jeff Vandermeer.

In this installment, Jeff reviews Shaun Tan’s The Arrival, Brian Talbot’s Alice in Sunderland, Nicola Griffith’s And Now We Are Going to Have a Party (from the amazing Payseur & Schmidt), and the Star Wars Pop-Up Book.

So when does Jeff sleep?
