Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany: February 2013

http://trivia-lad.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany. Tuesday, 19 February 2013. Play To Z: Remix After All to Shut Up, Dude. No central thesis at the end of this series of observations, in part because this run of albums was so fantastic that narrowing down to one artist would be impossible. That said, there's a common theme that emerges through the observations. Return To Cookie Mountain. Talking of pushing your sound. Revolver. What can I write about Revolver. And leaping forward in time, we have Robyn. With ...

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany: May 2013

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany. Monday, 27 May 2013. Play To Z: Under The Blacklight to What's Going On. A lot of people don't like Rilo Kiley's Under The Blacklight. At this point, we had reached the "Very Best of." section of the alphabet, so I got to listened to a selection of The Jam, The Smiths and The Stone Roses in short succession. That was a good day. U-Mass" by the Pixies is possibly the best advert for a university that exists or ever will exist. So I'll just say that nothing has...

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany: Tim Watches a Lot of Television - Part One: New Comedy

http://trivia-lad.blogspot.com/2014/10/tim-watches-lot-of-television-part-one.html

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany. Friday, 3 October 2014. Tim Watches a Lot of Television - Part One: New Comedy. The show also carries a wealth of pop culture references that can potentially irritate in the short term, and are destined to make the show seem hilariously dated in about six years time. Eliza, the main character (played by Doctor Who. This all sounds like I'm building up to a big thumbs down and accompanying fart noise, but in truth Selfie. As for actual jokes, there's a slight ...

http://trivia-lad.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany. Wednesday, 24 October 2012. The Broken City: Political Realities. In my last post. When I was thinking about the game in the early stages of planning, and describing it to potential players, my pitch was " Harry Potter. Meets Game of Thrones. Meets Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. And the final, unspoken part of that equation was ".meets The Warriors. I wanted the cabals that the players encountered to be at minimum rivals, or at worst bitter enemies. Because the Or...

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany: April 2013

http://trivia-lad.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany. Tuesday, 23 April 2013. Play To Z: Standing In The Way Of Control to Their Satanic Majesties Request. I've always struggled with OutKast. I know they're great. I can listen to them and appreciate the skill of their arrangements, the way they flawlessly blend styles and genres, their incisive, creative lyrics. But it's always been an intellectual connection, rather than an emotional one. Listening to Stankonia. It took me a while to get a grip on The Suburbs.

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany. Tuesday, 12 November 2013. Dr Nerdrage or; How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Kill Batman. 8220;You have been given the job of killing off Batman. DC have decided it’s time to let him die and to try something radically new.

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany: June 2013

http://trivia-lad.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany. Wednesday, 5 June 2013. Play To Z: 1977 to 8701. I've heard some recent commentary on The-Dream AKA Terius Nash's career, claiming that 1977. The album length free EP he put out in 2011, was half-baked and thrown out to keep his name afloat in critical circles. I haven't listened to half as much of his earlier stuff as I'd like to, but if there's any truth in that it must be some of the best music out there, because I love. Michael Winterbottom's biopic of Fa...

Trivia Lad: Tim Maytom's Internet Miscellany. Tuesday, 8 July 2014. The Wicked The Divine: The Semiotics Of Snapping. Issue one of Image's The Wicked The Divine came out three weeks ago now, the latest project by regular collaborators Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie (along with Matt Wilson as colourist and Clayton Cowles as letterer). As someone with a lifelong interest in classical mythology and a deep passion for music, it absolutely hits a sweet spot in my mental landscape. Other, smarter people.
