A Family Exploring the World of Fandom Together
We belong to a lot of different fandoms. We both have separate loves and some that overlaps. Of course, Star Wars is the big one, but this is an area for all of our loves!
The Omen was one of the first horror movies I saw. I can’t remember if I saw it in the theaters or if I saw it on HBO. One of the things I loved about my parents is that they didn’t try shielding me from good movies even if they…
“Plainsong”* by The Cure is the greatest opening song to any album. Ever. I’m not saying it’s the best song; I’m saying it’s the best first song for an album. It opens Disintegration, The Cure’s magnum opus, and it sets the entire tone for the rest of the masterwork. It…

It’s another video where I ramble on about some of my favorite albums. And yes, I already own these albums on vinyl. I’m a collector not a horder! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKqqpkqDKG8] Go to our YouTube channel to check out more videos from us!
In the last few years, companies have found a way to generate revenue from companies by sending them a box full of things. Most of the time these boxes are geared to a certain group such as care packages for college kids, dog owners, new parents, etc. Of course, there are boxes…
We want to welcome Bill Plasse, our new guest blogger! Now here is his review of They Might Be Giants in concert! Hi, everyone! It’s great to be a guest columnist on NOLA Nerd Couple. I work with Kurt and Cristina and always enjoy their outlook and viewpoint, so it’s…
