Music

  • A Hawk and a Hacksaw
    And everyone else they play with. You really don't know what you've been missing.
  • Amon Amarth
    Viking metal.
  • Bad Religion
    Man, you guys...
  • Bal Sagoth
    Starfire Burning Upon the Ice-Veiled Throne of Ultima Thule is a rather brilliant album, containing such memorable tracks as "In the Raven-Haunted Forests of Darkenhold, Where Shadows Reign and the Hues of Sunlight Never Dance" and "To Dethrone the Witch-Queen of Mytos K'unn." Robert E. Howard would be proud.
  • Black Ox Orkestar
    Not just another orkestar. They don't seem to check their myspace so much anymore but still lots of great music up for the listening.
  • Cradle of Filth
    Non-viking metal.
  • Dirty Three
    Some Bad Seeds doing Good Work.
  • Jon Zaremba
    A great musician and an incredibly nice guy very deserving of support.
  • Juxtapoz Magazine
    Like the link says, kiddo.
  • Man Man
    Wildly impressive live act, but also pack a mean studio album.
  • Nick Cave
    Pens a mean tale, too.
  • The Divine Comedy
    Stellar stuff, great summer time tunes.
  • The Pogues
    Even down all these years the lads have it, and given Shane's new maw they should sound better than other. Seeing them live gives one a much fuller appreciation of their punk roots.
  • The Tiger Lillies
    Charming love ballads equally suited for polite company and family functions. Operatic vocals, musical saws, rubber chickens, and extensive vice.
  • Tom Waits
    Oh my goodness, yes.

Artists

  • Hi-Fructose
    One of the best art mags out there, hands down. Pretty pretty.
  • Ian Miller
    Thwarting all pigeonholing, Miller has remained one of the most interesting contemporary artists for decades.
  • István Orosz
    The brilliant artist responsible for the Brothers Grossbart cover.
  • Jimmy Joe Roche
    Breaking media and breaking minds. And occasionally hearts.
  • John Coulthart
    Amazing art and design, especially in regards to books but often in the service of other mediums as well.
  • Robert Rackcleff
    Robert and I go back to Small Times. Apparently he's into video games now?
  • Roq La Rue Gallery
    A gallery in Seattle specializing in AWESOME.
  • Sandi Calistro
    Sandi is every bit as skilled with a tattoo gun as she is with a brush or a pencil, leading me to contemplate applying certain aspects of Roald Dahl's "Skin" to my own life. Certain aspects.

Authors

  • Amanda Downum
    Ghouls ghouls ghouls. Yes yes yes.
  • Ekaterina Sedia
    Alchemy, secrets, and alchemical secrets. Ink and electricity into gold, that sort of thing.
  • J. T. Glover
    Dark and weird, just the way we like it.
  • Jason Heller
    I was once complaining to Jason about deadlines and he suggested I kick them in the balls. He's a good guy.
  • Jeff Vandermeer
    Ecstatic Days in Ambergris.
  • Joe Abercrombie
    His First Law trilogy is a helluva lot of fun, especially if you enjoy the epic stuff.
  • Marc Laidlaw
    Marc likes good beer, good horror, and good video games every bit as I do. In fact, he probably likes them more than I do. Scary, right?
  • Mark Charan Newton
    What is it with me and Britons? My Anglophilia is out of control these days...
  • Molly Tanzer
    An authorly chum every bit as OCD about historical particulars as yours truly.
  • Neil Williamson
    A grand fellow who knows the way to Royston Vassey as surely as he does the route to his local.
  • Orrin Grey
    An artist cut down before his time, Grey's work lives on in the form of his animated skeleton.
  • Philip Palmer
    A Briton every bit as fond of monsters, creative profanities, and nasty characters as myself.
  • Robert Jackson Bennett
    When the bulls come swinging and all you've got is a bottle of Yukon Jack, there's no better bindlestiff to have minding your back.
  • S.J. Chambers
    We go back to Small Times, she and I, though she's too good of a friend to divulge anything. I hope.
  • Stephen Graham Jones
    Whip smart fiction and some of the most intelligent critiques of modern horror cinema going.
  • Tessa Kum
    The knightly thunder of Sir Tessa.
  • Warren Ellis
    Funny books, the regular kind, and everything else. The Mad Prophet of the Sceptered Isle.

Films

  • Twitch
    Breaking news in foreign, cult, arthouse, and foreign cult arthouse cinema.

Miscellaneous

  • Brad Neely
    The definition of a misc. My favorite person I've never had any contact with.
  • Matt Staggs
    Enter The Octopus
  • Rob Zombie
    He's doing a bit of everything these days so he gets to hang out at the bottom with Brad
  • Travis Dunn
    A consummate professional and savant in the realms of technology and the human mind. Also one of the best friends I've made in this mecky world.
