tongue-tied

I'm going to continue to believe it was about the candybar. also, zombie Locke = Ben Affleck in Dogma

Neither are the Losties!

Anyone watching the recap? Best part so far: "Jacob had visited members of Oceanic 815 at key moments in their lives" 1. John Locke's crippling fall from the building 2. Jin and Sun's wedding 3. giving Jack a candybar that was stuck in the machine.

Wasn't he the cofounder of v2.0?

One Wing has been stuck in my head since 1:35am

do you really? it's a woman sitting around on a couch looking reflective and upset, putting out cigarettes in an ashtray full of them (completely literal take on a lyric, check), the band miming the song (band miming song, check), Jeff being strapped down, held down, and wheeled around a hospital of some kind (vague plot concerning the singer, singer in some sort of conflict, check), woman previously with ashtray appears as one of the doctors/nurses/orderlies (vague plot twist, possible psychological element, check) watch the loose fur vid instead.

Man, Puff really hated wearing jackets back in the day.

I actually would prefer this over licensing already made songs. Writing jingles on the side wouldn't make me think less of an artist's songs or albums, just like I wouldn't think less of a novel if the author was a paid copywriter, just like I would take a film seriously regardless of whether the director shot some commercials. But to answer the question in this thread: I'd say Summerteeth. Though maybe it was AM.

A baffling collection of musicians playing a song I kind of hate, with Ferrell butchering the vocals, Conan soloing over four pro guitarists who seem like they are trying to listen and play together, but really have no chance to get it working, moreso because Conan is in his own world. Ferrell pulls out the old cowbell bit, as though burying it in this late night funeral. All in front of a giant American flag. I think that was a metaphor, I think that might have been art.

Hm, I see. I haven't picked up a dvd in a physical location in a while, and was a little shocked this holiday season when I looked at some dvds at barnes and noble. Experience tells me BN is always more expensive than Best Buy, Target, etc. but I swear any recent title at BN was 29.99, to which I said to myself what I just wrote about less guilt involved in buying Criterions now. Concerning necessity, I see it like this: I like Anderson's flicks, and his flicks probably pull in more moola for Criterion than a dozen of lesser known foreign flicks, moola which allows them to work on restorin

Is Fox Searchlight against the geeky joy Anderson fans would have over a Darjeeling Ltd or Mr. Fox criterion dvd? if the lowest price dvd is going to be $30, $10 more for what criterion would do wouldn't even seem so pricey. Well, it'd be an easier choice, anyway.

Every time I've tuned into Conan's Tonight Show, I've laughed. I haven't watched often enough to really analyze, but I don't see the slump in comedy others are perceiving. I haven't seen anything that exactly matches the classic moments of Late Night, but those classic moments spanned over a decade, and he hasn't even had this gig for one year. I'm happy with the new Tonight Show and think it'd be a shame to mess with it. I'm not a Leno-basher either, I found his Tonight Show just as funny. I only saw his 10pm show once, maybe partly twice, but did not laugh once.

Listened up until 'Taxi Cab' at my displeasure, skipped to 'Ur a Contra' and concluded I still don't like these guys.

He seems pretty happy with what he heard at the end.

I have a great first pressing of this album that I was listening to yesterday. My thoughts were "this is unbelievably good".

I like the song. I don't think I like the chord it ends on, it seems out of place with the rest of the song.

Here are some of my favorite albums of 2009, that I can remember: Cryptacize : "Mythomania" (3 songs on Muxtape) Jim O'Rourke : "The Visitor" Jason Lytle : "Yours Truly, The Commuter" (strange version of 'It's the Weekend') The Fiery Furnaces : "I'm Going Away" ( Experimental Dental School : "Forest Field" (completely free on their site) Wilco : "The Album" OOIOO : "Armonico Hewa" ( )The Flaming Lips : "Embryonic"

I've been listening to THE ALBUM lately and enjoying it quite a bit. I might prefer the second half. It all sounds good to me, though I keep asking myself at the end of "One Wing" why they resolve on that chord. Seems, I don't know, almost like a stinger note, which is...tacky?

Nice one

didn't AGIB win a grammy? doesn't that count for something?

i thought Matthew's myspace posts were wonderful, whatever you make of the original poke at radiohead, he just kept making fun of the press and those who take it too seriously... and his posts kept getting press and people kept taking it seriously. also, it dawned upon me today that i've only ever made one mix cd that included a FF song, and it happened to be the only mixed cd that I included a Radiohead song, and they're put right next to each other because I thought it was a good transition.
