But will he actually make it to the stage?

The Kingsmen - Louie Louie

Supergrass - Life On Other Planets

The Fall - The Real New Fall LP

Latcho Drom (OST)

My 6-year-old likes him because he did the music in the Curious George movie.

As to me, he's innoccous. Don't hate him, but I don't love him, either.

I'd much rather listen to Jack Johnson than to Dave Matthews.

Saw the first Chicago show and it was amazing, as well. A 2-hour drunken singalong.

Pray that they play "Sally MacLannane"

paris 1919 - it's pretty much perfect. i'd also suggest getting fear, slow dazzle and helen of troy - which you can pick up on a double cd called 'john cale the island years' which also has some non-album tracks too. that is a great package, but get paris 1919 first. there are some other albums of his that i like, but those ones are on a different plain to the rest.

Almost my exact reply, word-for-word.

Also the Cale/Eno collaboration Wrong Way Up is outstanding, as well.

Deee-Lite - Groove Is In the Heart

Here's mine:

I'm making my muxtape right now. Should be done pretty soon.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Again, from This Is Spinal Tap:

Marty: "What would you do if the rock and roll thing had not worked out?"

 

Nigel: "I don't know. Be a habberdasher, I guess."

 

Marty: "A habberdasher?"

 

Nigel: "Yeah. You know, selling hats and such. See... Pretend that you're a customer."

 

Marty: "Okay. I would... Um... I'd like to buy a hat please."

 

Nigel: "What size, sir? You see I think that I would be very good at that.

 

Marty: "But... Um... Do you think that you would like that?"

 

Nigel: "I don't know. What are the hours?"

Yeah.

Seriously.

On the advice of another teacher I showed that movie to my 4th grade class as a treat for good behavior. I hadn't seen it in at least 10 years, but how bad could it be, right?

 

At the end when Inigo tweeks the line and adds "...you son of a bitch" to the end of that, my whole class whipped their heads around to look at me in the back of the room grading papers. They were quiet, jaws dropped to the desk, and I just sat there with my eyes about to pop out of my head. Then they suddenly went ape shit, howling "Oh my God! He said the b-word!" and "Mr. Kinsley! What kind of movie are you showing us!"

 

We had a little chat about how if a grown-up tells you not to tell your parents about something or else you'll get in trouble, it's really the grown-up who'll get in trouble, not the kid. "But having said all that kids... is it REALLY neccesary to tell your parents about this one little word?"

I well up every time I see that scene.

I believe it goes:

Promise me ritches!

-All that you want!

Promise me power!

-Anything! Anything!!!

I want my father back you son of a bitch!!!

(runs him through.)

THERE WILL BE NO FIGHTING IN THE WAR ROOM!!!!

"Oh, sexy girlfriend!!!"

-Long Duk Dong (see related thread)

Long Duk Dong: Last Of the Hollywood Stereotypes?

I still call my wife "sexy girlfriend."

Just make a couple of mixes.

That's what I always did.

I made a new one for each road trip that I took -- so each mix took on it's own particular poignancy for me.

"Damn hell. You say you won it?"

-A Christmas Story

Old Crow Medicine Show - O.C.M.S.

Yo La Tengo - Electr-o-Pura

Strictly from Rob Reiner movies:

"Anybody want a peanut?"

-Fezzig (Andre the Giant) in The Princess Bride

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

-Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patankin), also in The Princess Bride

"This one goes to eleven."

-Nigel Tufnel (Chris Guess) in This Is Spinal Tap

Got married in MI (Traverse City).

Of course, we had a keg of Oberon (when it was still called SolSun).

And I thought the distributor issue was resolved?

Luna - Penthouse

Hoodoo Gurus - Gorilla Biscuit

Yo La Tengo - Fakebook

Smoking Popes - At Metro

The Best Of The Johnny Cash Show: 1969 - 1971

I have 4 kids. I don't go to shows at all anymore.

I have 2.

I pretty much only go to my own shows.

And the VERY rare "special" show that I just can't miss.

So now that the show is booked, when I post about the show as it gets closer, are y'all gonna call me out on that then, too?

List your single favorite; rank your Top 5, or whatever.

But an explanation as to what about the album MAKES it your favorite would be nice.

For me:

Younger Than Yesterday

Just the songs. I don't know. It's the first of their albums that has NO involvement, whatsoever, from Gene Clark. And, while his presence is certainly missed, there's an intangible quality to the record that just keeps me going with it. The first Chris Hillman compositions are on here and, Clarence White's playing on "Time Between" is freaking sublime.

After that one, it's probably:

Mr. Tambourine Man

Sweethearts Of the Rodeo

Fifth Dimension

Dr. Byrds and Mr. Hyde

and then everything else.

Blue Line Swinger is one of my all time favorite songs..absolutely perfect in every way.

 

The only YLT albums I'm not a fan of are I Am Not Afraid.. and Fakebook.

So, you like the noisy stuff?

Those are two of my favorites of theirs (along with Electr-o-Pura)!
