Ryan Adams writes about video games in recent column

I for one am impressed of Mr. Adams’ recent long run blogging stint for The Awl where he just made his debut at as a columnist. It’s hard not to laugh out loud while reading his piece, as Danzing gets slipped through video game consoles, space invaders and intolerable amounts of late pizza. Speaking of video games, who knew Adams was such a dork? I mean, the man really knows his video game history, and,…

New Ryan Adams video: ‘Follow The Lights’

Talented Jacksonville “heart breaker” is back with a new video, this time for the slow paced, chilling “Follow The Lights.” Much like the whole song, the video lacks passion and as result gets terribly dull.

Although it’s a bright day, only a few portions of the house are lighted, the man follows these “lights”…
