  1. There is something to be said for the joy of shopping for something you really love. Generally, I hate the shopping experience, but from my teenage years through my 30s, I loved shopping for music. That's changed because of the lack of inventory in most music stores. Now it's beer. When I used to get gift cards to music stores, it filled me with anticipation. Now it's the same for the beer store. Finding the perfect gift for someone is a great experience. When you know they'll love it, the anticipation of giving is awesome. But a well chosen gift card is often a better alternative t
  2. Question for anyone, but Beltmann's advice would be most appreciated: TCM is showing a couple of Marx Bros. movies on NYE. Which is a better bet, Duck Soup or Night at the Opera?
  3. My garage band was the Mannequin Heads.
  4. Not a Christmas commercial, but there's a men's cologne commercial that makes me want to kick in the TV screen. Some male model is holding a press conferences for no reason and announces "I'm not going to do what people expect anymore." Then the wall of the press room collapse and he walks away.
  5. Does this make the Brewers a contender? My (admittedly uninformed) opinion is no.

  7. I keep trying to think of artists to post in this thread, but cannot think of any. Here's some of my favorites, but they all blew it on at least 1 occasion. Bob Mould Paul Westerberg Lou Reed Iggy Pop Neil Young David Bowie Jayhawks Ryan Adams Tweedy is batting about .900, so he's probably the closest.
  8. Double nickels bland and generic? Hmmm... I can understand not liking it. But I do not understand these adjectives at all. I could agree with the assessment of the Clash, but I think a lot of that is they paved the way for so many other bands that the excitement of music that sounds like that is lost years later.
  9. We watched How to Train Your Dragon last night. I loved it. The kids were in and out of it. Just reminded of the genius behind the Pixar people to make movies that almost always enthrall everyone.
  10. Those oreo commercials are pretty awful, but his United Way commercial for SNL more than made up for them.
  11. Back when I had more time and money, skiing. The excitement my kids have for snow. Pretty much everything lammy said.
  12. A lot of people agree with that sentiment. Unfortunately, those people are wrong.
  13. Gerald is a great showman. He entertains the kids as much as anyone during Justin's shows.
  14. The only category I'll care about kids' music. Our favorite, Justin Roberts, got a much deserved nominated. He's up against Pete Seeger and They Might Be Giants. Most voters will probably vote based upon name recognition.
  15. Like the music, esp. the guitar. Can't stand Martsch's voice. I keep trying, but I can't get past it.
  16. It was his decision to keep in Ford's improv of "I Know." after Leia confessed her love to Solo instead of Lucas's original "I love you too." RIP, indeed.
