New Wave Returns
I am not sure what constitutes a “supergroup” anymore, but Dreamcar is a new group that is super, with a new super song called “Kill For Candy.” It is what happens when you mix No Doubt musicians with the AFI vocalist.
Logan Runs
The new definitely-go-see Wolverine movie is Logan, and it has a 94% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Which makes me ask: What has gone so pathetically wrong with the lives of the other 6% of the critics who did not like the movie (Ed Note: Maybe they know the difference between sh*t and shinola?).
A Whole Lotta Rosie
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion was published back in 2013, so it is technically an old book but I only recently listened to the audio version and therefore it is new to me. (Ed Note: This is what happens when you don’t make MH a part of your daily diet; we covered it 15 months ago). The book is is funny, thought-provoking, with a tight story, and excellent dialogue. Here is the review from The New York Times, so you do not have to just take my word for it:
or, you can just find the book on Amazon:
(Ed. Note: The main character kind of reminds us of someone we know)
According to Barnes & Noble (two of the most prolific bibliophiles I know) Graeme Simsion’s next book, “The Best of Adam Sharp” releases on May 2. Love his writing!
