I love being busy, and I think I do a pretty good job at it, but Donald Glover puts me and every other workaholic out there to shame. He’s hilarious on television and on stage, he makes kickass music, and he tours the country doing a blend of both. I’m not exactly sure how he managed to keep his energy and creativity levels up, but I’ll have what he’s having.

Full disclosure, I do a lot of hosting work for these guys, so I’m biased. But I started as a fan, and I still think that Radio 3 is light years ahead of anyone else when it comes to internet broadcasting. If there’s any justice, in a few years when internet radio is the norm, people will look back at what Radio 3 is doing now and recognise that they more or less laid the tracks for the whole damn thing.

I hit a point a couple of years ago where I started to feel over saturated with entertainment media. I got fed up reading reviews and articles and just kind of stopped seeking it all out. The one exception was the AV Club, which provides consistently insightful and compelling commentary on all manners of entertainment. Read more

I have a reputation among my friends as the guy who likes the dumbest movies. It’s well deserved, and I never turn down the chance to eat a giant bucket of popcorn while things explode on an enormous screen in front of me. Meek’s Cutoff is the slowest movie I’ve ever seen, and seems like something I would hate, but something about it is so captivating that I’ve seen it twice and plan to keep going back. It’s kind of like There Will Be Blood, if you dialled it down about 12 notches.

A lot of people recommend that I get a Kindle, or other such ‘e-book’ reading device, because I’m on tour so much and lugging around several books isn’t practical. This book, all 968 pages of it, would be exhibit A in their case of why books are a pain to carry, but to me it’s the perfect example of why I never want to touch an e-book reader. A book that covers the gold rush, the Spainish-American war, and the lives of a dozen people involved in one or the other should feel substantial.

A lot of people I know unjustly think of Randy Newman as the perennial Oscar-contending writer of schlocky soundtrack songs. I thought that myself. But buying the first volume of this series started me on the path to redemption. Read more

I’m not really a big comedy guy, but Marc Maron’s long and in-depth interviews with his fellow comedians transcend that niche to become absolutely compelling listening. He has a pretty dark past, and his openness about it seems to draw the same honesty out of his guests. His two hour long talk with Louis C.K, in particular, is one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard [listen below]. Read more

I’ve bought a lot of music over the years, but this has to be the most beautiful package I’ve ever seen. I usually bemoan the lengths to which bands are forced to go to sell physical records, but if illegal downloading can result in something this amazing, maybe it isn’t all bad. Also, the music is fantastic.

Ever tried to imagine what an artist looks like based on their artwork? I was asked to be involved in this Australia-based project by Anna Brown, where she photographs comic artists and then presents the work next to a portrait of the artist in their own comic form. Read more
I don’t know a lot about The Sugars but I like what they do. Their sound is quite rockabilly but quite modern — like White Stripes. They put out a couple of indie singles and I’d really like to find some time to work with them.
