  1. [Jeff Garlin Voice] Oh yeah, you gotta go for the Gilbert Gottfried DVD, i mean c'mon! [/Jeff Garlin Voice]
  2. When listening to U2, even with songs I can recognize as very good, unique, and with no obvious flaws, I feel like I'm being lied to.
  3. there would be no reason to mention Dumbledore's orientation before the seventh book because that's where his relationship with Grindelwald is revealed (along with practically everything else about D's background). it's very clear the two are taken with each other whether or not it extended into sexual relations. so there was a three month gap between the last book and Rowling's answer. maybe Rowling wanted enough time for people to read and digest the end of the series, or maybe this was the first time since she was asked a straightforward question about Dumbledore's romantic life. edit: i'
  4. yeah, but Wilco isn't credited in the commercial, nor have they changed Natalie Portman's life.
  5. http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/books/10/2...r.ap/index.html i thought a few hints in the last book were a joke for older readers, but i guess he was really flat out homosexual.
  6. I often say "I could care less" because when I'm mentioning something I don't care about, I like to let the people know I could care so little as to not even mention it, though I have.
  7. the smoke machine added a little something, but they didn't end with any noise, i hoped the bassplayer would do his best impersonation of "Yankee...Hotel...Foxtrot" but no such luck. there is the possibility a Wilco fan was dragged to this concert by their S.O., I guess that would've been a pleasant surprise.
  8. I don't think Lennon fans base their preference on his protest songs (which would be on "Some Time in NYC" and some on "Mind Games"). I enjoy Paul's solo output, but I don't think any of his albums beat John's first two, though some come close. I also think a 'Best of McCartney' compilation wouldn't have as strong a list of songs as 'Lennon Legend'. Paul's a musical genius capable of making something light like 'Obladi Oblada' or 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' endlessly interesting and memorable, but John is an idea man unmatched and can make me stop in my tracks with a song like 'Jealous Guy' when
  9. Earlimart's "Treble and Tremble" sounds like and is mostly about Elliott Smith.
  10. fair enough. my favorite of 07 is Deerhoof's Friend Opportunity, which they worked on while touring with...Radiohead, who I imagine were playing a lot of In Rainbows at the time, so that's no small influence. However, Friend Opportunity is maybe my fifth favorite album of the last five years.
  11. I wouldn't be shocked if someone said In Rainbows was the best release of 2007...but five years? since 2002? that's a whole lot of competition.
  12. I was being tongue-in-cheek, the "Paler Shade of White" article implies that Wilco doesn't have rhythm and that the songs on YHF have embarassing lyrics and formless music, which is ridiculous. i don't think the writer likes music. How is Sky Blue Sky not about the realities of the world?
  13. if only Wilco weren't afraid of imitating black music. if only they had a drummer who understood syncopation, that'd shape up their formless music.
  14. wow that article goes all over the place. "The heavy bass frequencies cause car seats to vibrate, literally massaging the passengers."
  15. Personally, I wouldn't go to a party that wasn't socialist. what would be the point?
  16. I also don't find much going on over in the UK, but in the US I think it's been a great year for music.
  17. the wealthy upperclass. the hard working ones, ideally.
