But it is my hope with these weekly playlists is to share my personal musical tastes with you and to hopefully turn you on to something new or maybe remind you of something that you haven't heard in a while. So lets get started. From the Danzig 5: Blackacidevil album, "Sacrifice" I believe is a highly…
Hard Pass: Lab Created Mammoth Meatball
Not too long ago I talked about lab-created chicken and said that it's probably gonna be used as a ruse to feed us all Soylent Green, but now they're cultivating meat from an extinct mammoth. An Australian company on Tuesday lifted the glass cloche on a meatball made of lab-grown cultured meat using the genetic sequence from the long-extinct pachyderm, saying it was meant to fire up public debate…
Leslie's Playlist: From Fall To Spring

It took the FBI 2 years to realize Trent Reznor wasn't dead

That man was Trent Reznor. The…

HARD PASS: Ranch Ice Cream
Yeah, I don't know about this. I know I say "don't knock it till you try it" but I literally just felt my arteries clogging up when I read this. Hidden Valley Ranch and Van Leeuwen Ice Cream have come up with a ranch-flavored ice cream... and it's coming to Walmart this spring. The limited-time ranch-flavored offering was concocted in honor of National Ranch Day and boasts savory flavors of…
