The Sick Stuff
I mentioned it in passing the other day but it’s an idea that stuck with me, the idea that part of me is past wanting to see ‘the sick stuff’. I think as a kid (which is relative, when it comes to age) you are drawn to the taboo, and when I was a kid, that meant the sick movies.

I love movies. I have always loved movies, since I was six and saw Friday the 13th at the drive-in and ever after. And I like reviewing movies. I dunno why.

The Meep Sheep - Ashley Pickles, the musician
Ashley Pickles as a young man was a marvel with the voice of an angel. Ash would sing songs the songs of days long gone and would remind the people of the Kingdom of Man what it was like to be fully alive. What his songs lacked though were personality and the intimacy that comes with creating your own Art. When a new friend teaches him to play guitar and how to find his voice as a singer,...
