Is Tony Soprano alive?
David Chase finally coughs up the truth seven years later (god: it's been that long?). I knew it. See the short article here on Uproxx. This is the last frame of the series, just before the screen suddenly cuts to black.

The Posies "Failure" reissued
By Jack Brummet
The Posies played a fantastic show Saturday night at Seattle's Triple Door. They were alternately fascinated to be playing this, and trepidatious about revisiting the album they recorded when they were seventeen years old. It was an amazing performance. Watch the trailer below, and then go buy a copy of their remastered and expanded album, even in Green Vinyl if you have a phonograph. . .

A different pitch: pandhandling outside The Posies show in Seattle last night
By Jack Brummet, Rock and Roll Ed.
We went to the great Posies show last night at the Triple Door in Seattle, celebrating the re-release of the wonderful album that launched their careers. They recorded this in a basement studio when they were 17 years old. It was wonderful to see them a little nervously perform this album once again, and see them experience all the emotions of reliving the recording and release, and early moments of their great careers. It's far better than they think.
In any case, leaving the show most happily, we encountered this guy. Definitely a cut above the usual panhandler.

When we stop demonizing each other, peace will come. But the spiral of justified grievance is endless.

Spiders on drugs, spinning webs
By Jack Brummet, Cootie and Critter Ed.
Do you remember the experiments they performed on spiders to see how psychoactive drugs affected their web-spinning abilities? Here is an undrugged web, along with ones created under the influence of mescaline, caffeine, LSD, marijuana, chloral hydrate, and Benzedrine (for you young folks, essentially meth).
