Thank You, Mister Williams

Saul Williams wants you to have his new album. For free. Or for five dollars. Your choice. The album, entitled The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!, is produced by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins).

Two More On The Stack

Will & Me: How Shakespeare Took over My Life Dominic Dromgoole Let's start with the obvious.  Look at the cover of Will & Me and tell me that I could have possibly left it on the shelf.  While I won't say that Almighty Bill has taken total possession of my life and well-being, a substantial

Three Years Ago Today

Nikki and Me and Pastor Makes Three, originally uploaded by grabbingsand. Nikki doesn’t believe me when I tell her, often looking at me like I’m just being silly and/or sentimental, but I’ve never been so happy in my life as I’ve been ever since the day we met. Never underestimate how much a cup of
