Kudos to Voodoo Logic’s only semi-famous associate [1], The Creature From 40,000 Fathoms, for getting his name mentioned on the ABC’s Arts and Entertainment blog, Articulate.

First post of the new year (happy 2007!) and I’d like to send out a quick congratulations to whoever it is that writes the summaries for the movies and television shows in the TV Guide put out each week by Brisbane’s Sunday Mail.
In particular, the entry for this week’s [...]
