  1. I thought it was really cool too. I hear what the naysayers like to critique Nolan with, and it's all got some truth to it. But it doesn't take away from the craftsmanship and contagious sense of awe that his work creates.
  2. Mine finally came. I bought it for the booklet as much as the music. It was worth it.
  3. Yeah, I saw it on Friday. Pretty amazing film. Felt like something very new.
  4. X2. Especially Art of Trio series if you like it straight up. Day is Done if you want to hear some familiar tunes stretched to some tense and beautiful jazz angles. Highway Rider has some pretty crazy orchestral edges, maybe not for everyone but I love it.
  5. I loved Ask the Dust and Brotherhood of the Grape.
  6. I'm kind of an apologist for A Serious Man, just cause I found it uniquely funny. No Country For Old Men however, maybe the finest film in their career. At least the finest non-comedy film.
  7. I'm thinking it's the same stuff. The vinyl format allows for larger booklets, so there are probably half as many pages that are twice the size. So, same amount of art/info, but spread out differently on different sized pages.
  8. I give it a B-, C+. Not as good as his novel.
  9. I think it's fantastic. It's exhausting, depressing and brutal, but the characters are so vivid after the first couple seasons that you really care what happens to them.
  10. I like vinyl better, but couldn't justify the cost since I have most of these tracks. I bought the cd as much for the liner notes as the few tracks I'm missing.
  11. My wife and I have finally caught on to Dextet via netflix. It's not in my grade A tv category (the wire, breaking bad, louie, walking dead, orange is the new black) but it is a consistently interesting grade B. We're also planning on going to see Birdman and Interstellar on the big screen. We saw The Skeleton Twins last month and I really liked it; good blend of drama and comedy.
  12. This is precisely the point. When we pass legislation that limits people's freedom in order to protect ourselves, we have to be sure that it is a worthy exchange for a legitimate risk. In some districts many citizens lost the ability to vote in order to protect people like you and I from a situation that doesn't really happen.
  13. Glad to see he's gotten past the sour relationship with the English.
  14. The group I play drums in is on hiatus (singer has one academic year in Germany), but people have been tossing our videos around on Facebook and reminded me to share. Here's kind of an R&B number http://youtu.be/k4lSJx8KVp0 And more of a blistering rocker, guitar solo song: http://youtu.be/FS3urkQ1utk?list=UU731DWHwNjbBW0SsdgzPgkg You can buy our album here: http://recoj.bandcamp.com/
  15. I had the weirdest dream that Wilco played "Magazine Called Sunset" on national TV and then Jeff played charades with Ewan McGregor and Charles Barkley. But seriously, if someone told you this would happen in 2003 would you believe them? Also, I like what Nels brings to these tunes. I loved the crooked smile he got while playing the retarded lead to Magazine.
  16. Is our country ever going to be ready to seriously talk about gun control?
  17. E- what? Oh yeah, that thing I was panicking about? That's so two weeks ago, we're talking about Renee Zellwegger's plastic surgery now. Duh. You're so boring all "here's some information,blah, blah".
  18. Why does my dad's generation have such a hard time understanding lyrics?
  19. You Are My Face One Sunday Morning (I know it's long, but it's a colossal ender)
  20. Yeah, Airline was always kind of the iconic Mermaid Ave song to me. Kind of a musical mission statement for that project. I can see not loving the lyrics if you don't like the churchy stuff, but that's a theme in so much excellent roots music I can't get hung up on that.
