Rolling Stone Magazine put out their list of the "Top 100 Drummers of All-Time" today. Some people have lost their minds in response to the list.

Billy Corgan Loves Him Some "Rock Hall Billy Corgan"

Vinyl (HBO) Episode Four: "Record Man's" Christmas Goulet

Okay folks, this was one of those "busy" episodes. The kind of episodes where writers realize that they are already at episode 4 and have yet to develop like 10 of the plot points that they have already introduced in the first three episodes.

This episode (called "The Racket") opens with not one but two ghosts, Otis Blackwell and Richie himself (My suggestion is that "The Racket" in the episode is the game Richie is running on himself).
