  1. Anyone catch it? I love that series! I think I've seen maybe 7 or 8 different episodes. Ahmet (the guy who ran Atlantic Records) was another really interesting one. So cool. But I do think that Bob Newhart is my favorite.
  2. [obnoxious music board braggadacio]That's because YOU'RE WRONG!!!![/obnoxious music board braggadacio]
  3. Have you listened to I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass?
  4. Nuclear War It's a motherfucker I haven't heard the YLT version of this, but I would love to!
  5. Went pretty well. Was a little uncomfortablw with the whole microphone thing, after so long. (I adjusted, though.) And, as far as I know, there were no VCers there. Nobody who let me know, at least.
  6. Hoodoo Gurus - Mars Needs Guitars Hoodoo Gurus - Magnum Cum Louder Brian Eno - Before & After Science Sly & The Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On Luke Doucet - Broken (and other rogue states)
  7. Seriously, all I really know of his work are: Nilsson Schmilsson and Son Of Schmilsson, but judging by those two albums alone (and the critical responses to his other albums) why are we not talking about him in the same sentences as much bigger names? He had a couple of hits. Yeah, not as many as some other bands, but... there are a lot of other bands that had fewer. (Pixies, although in a different time.) He had a 4-octave range(!?!?!), wrote great melodies, and had an oddball sense of humor that crept in more than just occasionally. It's got to be that last bit that some find distasteful.
  8. You mean, besides my own? 1. Joe Pisapia - Daydreams (2002) 2. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds- Abbatoir Blues/ The Lyre of Orpheus (2004) 3. Brinsley Schwarz - Cruel To Be Kind: Live @ the BBC (2005) 4. Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production Of Eggs (2005) 5. Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit (2006) 6. The Format - Dog Problems (2006) 7. Tom Z
  9. Thanks. No problem. And congratulations, Uncle David Puddy!
  10. Caesaria Evora - Rogamar SOiL - Scars The Replacements - Pleased To Meet Me The Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I Son Volt - Trace
  11. His guitar solos should be more than enough to get you up off your ass. Or blow you out of your chair.
  12. Now playing my Brain Surgery Salad Mix Tracklist: "El Is a Sound Of Joy" - Sun Ra "Straight Line" - Wire "I Know You Got Soul" - Eric B. & Rakim "Papa Won't Leave You Henry" - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Through My Fingers" - Pegboy "Pablo & Andrea" - Yo La Tengo "Graveyard Shift" - Uncle Tupelo "Ui! (voce inventa)" - Tom Z
  13. So, yeah. This is in 2 days, now. Any of you gonna make it? I'd love to meet you.
  14. Summer roadtrip to Colorado with the family.
  15. The Iron Giant Yeah, it's a kids' movie, but in the same way as The Nightmare Before Christmas. That is to say, it's not with a smile and a wink, but it truly works on an adult level. Directed by Brad Bird (Ratatoullie, The Incredibles) who, for my money, is one of the best directors working today, period. Oh, and it's traditional -- not computer -- animation. A really great movie.
  16. Could I catch the moon On a big-wheeled wagon? I'm braggin' I'm always in love
  17. I've been lukewarm about everything since Out Of Time. I must be old.
  18. After the breakup of my band's original lineup, I think I got one of these coming out of me soon. Just gotta get some folks, money, and a studio together. So, "soon" would be relative. Now, back to it: Daniel Johnston - Songs Of Pain is pretty amazing.
  19. I'm all lost in the supermarket I can no longer shop happily I came in here for that special offer A guaranteed personality I wasnt born so much as I fell out Nobody seemed to notice me We had a hedge back home in the suburbs Over which I never could see I heard the people who lived on the ceiling Scream and fight most scarily Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling Thats how its been all around me Chorus I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes I save coupons from packets of tea I've got my giant hit discoteque album I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free The kids in the hall
  20. Now, THIS is something that sounds like a great listen! I think that I need it.
