| Hot Burritos: The True Story of The Flying Burrito Brothers by John Einarson with Chris Hillman |
Now, thanks to John Einarson’s Hot Burritos I know a heck of a lot about The Flying Burrito Brothers and I’m glad for it. This band bio takes you back to the birth of country-rock. The Flying Burrito Brothers (FBB’s) are remembered as a great band. But what they are… |

| New York Yankees: Essential Games of Yankee Stadium |
This set includes six games. They are six great games. Fun to watch. Yankee fans will dig them. However, I wouldn’t call them the essential games. They might qualify if this was part of larger series. But where’s the Yankee Clipper, Maris or Mantle. A Yankee stadium retrospective with no… |

| Fringe (1.08) - “The Equation” |
I missed out on Lost and wanted to be on the ground floor of the latest Abrams production. The X-Files ruled. I’ve been waiting for something to take its place. Who doesn’t dig the strange/paranormal? However, not far into the series I found they were repeating themselves. Each episode seemed… |

| Bigger, Stronger, Faster* |
This Magnolia Pictures documentary hit home like an atomic pile driver. It starts out with just a date on screen. January 23, 1984. There’s a good chance I won’t see the girl I was watching this with again. And that’s because when the date came up on screen I said,… |

| Inferno: New Tales of Terror and the Supernatural |
Short stories are beautiful and compact. In his The Philosophy of Composition Edgar Allen Poe said, “if two sittings be required, the affairs of the world interfere, and everything like totality is at once destroyed.” It’s a shame that this form has faded away since the days of Hemingway and… |

| Three Days to Never by Tim Powers |
Turns out, a lot more. This book is like a lead weight, an albatross. It took FOREVER to slog through, which surprised me. It’s got an awful lot of what I like in sci-fi/fantasy, especially time travel. If a movie or a book messes with time/space, I’m almost sure to… |
