Stan Lee was a Marvel-ous man.
Ralph Stanley - O Death
Worth watching the video for a truly chilling live performance.

You know, like Caine in Kung Fu. Walk from place to place, meet people... get into adventures.
Heather Nova - Walk This World

Mythic ruse is an anagram. I am telling you the truth!

Boy George + Harrison (Han Solo) Ford...
I love this song and George is by far my favourite Beatle... but that is a truly awful video.
More next week!
