  1. Start with Cavale and work your way back, chronologically. If you start with the Some Biscuit+Daylight Savings disc, you will not be happy.
  2. Dream opener would be... ME!!! But barring that, I would love to see Jay Farrar or Son Volt. And then, let the magic continue with a full-on UT reunion!
  3. Mine changes pretty much daily, but for now (in no particular order): Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Beatles - Revolver Wire - Pink Flag John Cale - Paris, 1919 Brian Eno - Another Green Day Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Tom Z
  4. Without E.B. I would not know what ambergris is.
  5. Fickerson? Also from Obner/CMJ? Hey! And, I don't remember if I put up a pic of me or not. I'll assume that I did.
  6. I don't have the doc channel, so I had no idea. And, is that Donald Sutherland that I see on the Little Murders poster, too?
  7. Always been a Murmur and Reckoning guy, myself.
  8. Okay, so the thead is already a joke. Next caller, please... And, I don't think that I want to know about your pick Lou!
  9. Yeah. First one you dance to. Any tunes being bantered about by you and your fiance
  10. "Speckled Egg"? You referring to "Speckly"? Yeah, I grabbed that, too when AUM reissued it. I think that with the new reissues that I mentioned in the first post in this thread, that my SB collection (minus the offshoot bands) is now complete. I do need to pick up a few more TSAC records as well as the second Falstaff record. I am such a freak about them and I take a lot of crap about that at another board where I post. Oh well. Louie: You know about The Flavor Channel? Another Chicago band that you may like.
  11. My iTunes shuffle. Also, various stations here: www.iacmusic.com In particular, my station: www.iacmusic.com/thegoodstuff
  12. My wife is so cool. We both agreed on: "You're the One For Me" by Jonathan Richman How about you?
  13. Absolutely. And also a very strong Appalatcian (sp?) folk/country influence too, in some of the tunes.
  14. My 6- and 8-year-old boys were walking around all weekend; one would ask: "Are we not men?" The other would reply: "We are DEVO!!!" I'm either raising them very, very right, or very, very wrong. So much better than the general public gives them credit for. And yeah, they do belong in the HOF.
  15. The Wonderful, Horrible Life Of Leni Riefenstahl Ms. Riefenstahl created 2 of the most artistically important films in history, that just happened to be Nazi propaganda — Triumph Of the Will and Olympiad. An examination of the life and politics of a true artist with questionable motives. It's a 4-hour documentary that is nonetheless immenently watchable (with an intermission). Includes interviews with a 92-year-old Leni, herself. Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face) A creepy, creepy B&W horror film from the early 60's that is shockingly grisly for the time. But mostly, it's creepy an
  16. A couple of more-recent classics: Babe The Iron Giant Yeah, they're "kids'" movies, but they're also amazing films. And, for something COMPLETLY different: Freaks Now, I'm off to make an "Unseen Classics" thread, for recommendations of films that most have probably not seen. And I am looking forward to seeing your recs. and descriptions.
  17. Wow. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/0...r.anti.gay.kwtv
  18. Don't knock it 'till you try it Eating can be fun!!! Try eating bits of lots of things Instead of lots of one!!! IT'S A WAGON WHEEL!!!
  19. Now, THAT does it for me. Damn. Nostalgia. I'm right back in my parents' basement again, playing Basball or Horse Racing.
  20. With the exception of his voice, the SB records (excepting Cavale) all sound pretty damn different from The Sea and Cake. A lot weirder and more organic.
  21. My kids have one, too! And yeah, it's still the favorite game in the house... even after 6 months.
