Halloween: I’m That Guy
Hidden Gem: Jewel feat Dolly Parton “My Father’s Daughter”

Remember Jewel? I recently caught her Howard Stern interview…I was shocked…as in oh yeah Jewel. Jewel was so big back in the day and then she seemed to disappear; I’d totally forgotten about her. She’s back with a new album; but it’s this standout track that drew my attention.

Garbage Time: 2015-2016 NBA Season Preview
The 70th NBA season begins on Tuesday, October 27.

She’s this attractive French Canadian girl…a tough and fierce package…you can’t see it in this video but on her arm she’s got this amazing tattoo of Alice in Wonderland armed with an Elgin pistol and a cutlass; met her briefly at a TIFF party couple years back and I was mesmerized by the tattoo…why does Alice have a Elgin pistol AND a cutlass? Or rather…why not?

Oh man what took so long!
Nazis winning World War II is a delicious traditional sci-fi literature trope; yet it’s rarely played out on tv/in the movies. (Has there been a recent visual exploration?) Allies losing the war is a sweet resource rich mine; loaded with endless possibilities, spirited unmapped avenues and infectious creativity.
